It is well demonstrated that Nordic hamstring (NH) program has poor compliance across European soccer clubs, but little known about its implementation in Major League Soccer (MLS). The authors aimed to investigate MLS prevention practices and with the NH understand reasons for inclusion or exclusion.A cross-sectional electronic survey was completed by 24 of 26 (92%) top-division clubs.The survey, based on Reach, Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance framework, sent team medical...
The aim was to assess factor structure of player-reported fatigue and quantify within-subjects association between changes in training load measures next day at different time points an elite football season. Using longitudinal research design, twenty-four professional footballers, mean (SD) age 25.7 (3.4) years, were monitored during their competitive season, including pre-season. Player-reported data session ratings perceived exertion (session-RPE) collected via a mobile application....
ABSTRACTAims The physiologic challenges related to performances in hot conditions calls for dedicated consideration when planning athlete training, although complete amelioration of the effects heat may not be possible. We aimed quantify within-subject correlations between different measures environmental temperature and performance changes over multiple elite soccer competitions.Methods Thirty-seven male players (age: 26 ± 3.4 years, height: 171 2 cm, body mass: 78 7.1 kg) competed North...
Purpose : Travel fatigue impacts cognitive and physiologic systems, but its association with elite soccer match performance is unclear. In this retrospective observational study, we aimed to explore the between travel outcomes in North American soccer. Methods data (team points or goals scored conceded) physical from 26 professional teams their players were analyzed (148 matches [team-based data] 1252 player 297 players; age 22.7 [4.5] y). Player- match-level correlations measures both acute...

J Strength Cond Res 36(2): 513-517, 2022-The purpose of this study was to investigate how competition phase player affect the (ITL ETL, respectively) in soccer. Seventeen players participated (21.8 ± 1.7 years; 165.1 6.2 cm; 63.7 7.9 kg). Nineteen match-plays (10 nonconference 9 conference) were completed...
To evaluate non-contact injury prevention strategies of professional men's soccer clubs in elite North American league soccer. understand the application, perceived effectiveness and barriers to implementation.
Abstract Background Professional soccer athletes are at risk of acquiring severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). United States Major League Soccer (MLS) uses protocol-based SARS-CoV-2 testing for identification individuals with disease 2019. Methods Per MLS protocol, fully vaccinated players underwent real-time polymerase chain reaction weekly; unvaccinated were tested every other day. Demographic and epidemiologic data collected from who positive, contact tracing was...
Abstract Ishida, A, Draper, G, Wright, M, Emerson, J, and Stone, MH. Training volume high-speed loads vary within microcycle in elite North American soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 37(11): 2229–2234, 2023—The purposes of this study were to reduce dimensionality external training load variables examine how the selected varied Data collected from 18 players during 2018–2020 in-seasons. Microcycle was categorized as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 days before match day (MD-1, MD-2, MD-3, MD-4, MD-5,...

J Strength Cond Res 37(4): 854-858, 2023-The purpose of this study was to investigate whether affected match physical by player position Division I soccer. Fourteen players participated (20.7 ± 1.3 years; 165.1 6.0 cm; 63.3 7.0 kg) study. Players were selected based on being free from injuries, playing for a duration ≥72 minutes, intervals ≥2 days.
