This study examined the relationship between work load indicators used to quantify full training sessions in soccer. The participants were 28 semiprofessional male soccer players age 22.9 ± 4.2 years, height 177 5 cm, body mass 73.6 4.4 kg. Players' physical and physiological was monitored over 44 using global positioning system devices (10 Hz) heart rate, respectively. After each session, players' perceived-exertion (rating of perceived exertion [RPE]) assessed Borg CR-10 scale. internal...
Recent player tracking technology provides new information about basketball game performance. The aim of this study was to (i) compare the performances all-star and non players from National Basketball Association (NBA), (ii) describe different performance profiles based on roles. Archival data were obtained all 2013-2014 regular season games (n = 1230). variables analyzed included points per game, minutes played actions recorded by system. To accomplish first aim, minute play using a...

Completing a marathon is one of the most challenging sports activities, yet source running fatigue during this event not completely understood. The aim investigation was to determine cause(s) in warm weather.We recruited 40 amateur runners (34 men and 6 women) for study. Before race, body core temperature, mass, leg muscle power output countermovement jump, blood samples were obtained. During (27 °C; 27% relative humidity) measured as pace reduction from first 5-km end race. Within 3 min...
Talent identification and development in soccer is often biased by maturation-related differences of young athletes. However, there no information available about success rates for youth maturing at different tempos to achieve elite adult soccer. The purposes this study were determine the prevalence maturational groups among boys playing soccer, track them competence performance. A prospective cohort design was used follow 55, 14-year-old Serbian Division I over eight years. At age 14,...
The game of basketball is characterized by short and intense bouts activity at medium to high frequency. Basketball entails specific types movements, physiological requirements energy sources. duration responses involving ATP, CP glycolysis this type 5-6 seconds for a single sprint, contribution the aerobic system less than 10%. Recovery periods in basketball, as rule, are not long enough fill gap such intensity activities. It hard achieve same level performance consistently over time...

Background: Soccer presents physiological, metabolic, physical and psychological demands which can deteriorate players’ performance due to fatigue. The high variability in responses also influences the magnitude of exercise-induced muscle damage, with symptoms negatively affecting neuromuscular function during recovery or subsequent training sessions matches. Consequently, more precise consistent knowledge is required this area optimize performance. Objective: Therefore, purpose sum - up...
This study investigated the effects on neuromuscular performance of a 6-week Optimal Load Training (OLT) and novel modified Complex (MCT) (complex pairs: same exercise using moderate an OL) in basketball players, in-season. Eighteen male athletes were randomly assigned to one protocols. Anthropometric measurements taken evaluate body composition. Lower- upper-body maximum dynamic strength, countermovement jump (CMJ), standing long (SLJ), 10-m sprint change direction (COD) also assessed....
Background: Because hydrogen therapy has been found beneficial for the treatment of inflammation, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and oxidative stress in humans, it seems useful to evaluate effects exogenously administered as an element immediate management sports-related soft tissue injuries. The main aim this pilot study was examine 2-week administration on biochemical markers inflammation functional recovery male professional athletes after acute injury. Method: During 2013 season (from...
