Training load (TL) is monitored with the aim of making evidence-based decisions on appropriate loading schemes to reduce injuries and enhance team performance. However, little known in detail about variables methods analysis used high-level football. Therefore, this study was provide information practices practitioners' perceptions monitoring professional clubs. Eighty-two football clubs from Europe, United States, Australia were invited answer questions relating how TL quantified, players'...
Exercising in the heat induces thermoregulatory and other physiological strain that can lead to impairments endurance exercise capacity. The purpose of this consensus statement is provide up-to-date recommendations optimise performance during sporting activities undertaken hot ambient conditions. most important intervention one adopt reduce acclimatise. Heat acclimatisation should comprise repeated exercise-heat exposures over 1–2 weeks. In addition, athletes initiate competition training a...
We aimed to evaluate the effects of COVID-19 lock down on lifestyle in China during initial stage pandemic. A questionnaire was distributed Chinese adults living 31 provinces via internet using a snowball sampling strategy. Information 7-day physical activity recall, screen time, and emotional state were collected between January 24 February 2, 2020. ANOVA, χ² test, Spearman’s correlation coefficients used for statistical analysis. 12,107 participants aged 18–80 years included. During phase...

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between anthropometry, physical capacity, and sprint swimming performance in swimmers both genders aged 12 - 14 years old. Anthropometric characteristics (body height mass, total upper extremity, hand foot lengths, chest circumference, certain body breadths, skinfolds), as well leg explosiveness (horizontal jump) arm strength (handgrip test) were evaluated 263 competitive (178 boys 85 girls) years. Skeletal age assessed with...
Data concerning the physical demands of soccer (e.g., activity pattern) suggest that a high level performance requires well-developed neuromuscular function (NF). Proficient NF may be relevant to maintain and/or increase players' short- (intense periods soccer-specific activity; accelerations, decelerations, and sprinting) long-term during match throughout season.This review examines extent which distinct modes strength training improve performance, as well effects concurrent endurance on...
The 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil included 64 matches in temperate to tropical environmental conditions. We analysed performance data relation the conditions identify potential association.Wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) parameters were obtained at centre of field 1 h before start play. Environmental stress was estimated (low, moderate and high) for each match using WBGT relative humidity. Various physical technical indices recorded during (average both teams).Over matches, 28 played under...
China is experiencing significant public health challenges related to social and demographic transitions lifestyle transformations following unprecedented economic reforms four decades ago. Of particular concern the fourfold increase in overweight obesity rates nation’s youth population, coupled with low prevalence of adolescents meeting recommended levels physical activity. Improving overall China’s more than 170 million children has become a national priority. However, advancing nationwide...
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the conditions for competitive football around globe dramatically. Several competitions and leagues have been cancelled or postponed. Players firstly forced to training in solitude. In a second stage, players start small groups with strict contact restriction return play might occur after only few weeks of normal team preparation. These special circumstances are likely impact performance injury risk upcoming competitions. Thus, clubs, coaching medical staff,...
This study analyzed training loads of youth soccer players and examined the influence match-related contextual variables in internal load fatigue. A secondary aim was to investigate variability these parameters throughout season. Thirteen highly trained under-19 (18.6 ± 0.5 years) were followed during one Training (daily) fatigue scores (weekly) assessed using rate perceived exertion a short questionnaire, respectively. Higher weekly reported after defeat or draw compared win (2,342 987...
