Elite soccer teams that participate in European competitions need to have players the best physical and psychological status possible play matches. As a consequence of congestive schedule, controlling training load (TL) thus level effort fatigue reach higher performances during matches is therefore critical. Therefore, aim current study was provide first report seasonal internal external included Hooper Index (HI) scores elite an in-season period. Nineteen were sampled, using global position...
The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) to describe weekly average values for training monotony (TM) and strain (TS) their variations across the full soccer season, based on number accelerations decelerations; (2) analyze differences between starter non-starter players TM TS pre-season three in-season periods. In total, 21 professional were evaluated over 48 weeks during full-season. calculated decelerations at zone 1, 2 3, respectively. results revealed that starters presented higher...
Background/Objectives: Correct supervision during the performance of resistance exercises is imperative to correct execution these exercises. This study presents a proposal for use Morisita–Horn similarity indices in modelling with machine learning methods identify changes positional sequence patterns biceps-curl weight-lifting exercise barbell. The models used are based on fuzzy logic (FL) and support vector (SVM) methods. Methods: Ten male volunteers (age: 26 ± 4.9 years, height: 177 8.0...
Assessment of the physical dimension implicit in soccer match is crucial for improvement and individualization training load management. This study aims to: (a) describe external at amateur level, (b) analyze differences between playing positions, (c) verify whether home/away matches if (d) phase (first or second) championship influence load. Twenty players (21.5 ± 1.9 years) were monitored using global positioning system. The was assessed 23 matches, where 13 part first competition (seven...
The aims of this study were to compare the external workload in win, draw and defeat matches first second halves Iranian Premier League. Observations on individual match performance measures undertaken thirteen outfield players (age, 28.6 ± 2.7 years; height, 182.1 8.6 cm; body mass, 75.3 8.2 kg; BMI, 22.6 0.7 kg/m2) competing High-speed activities selected for analysis included total duration matches, distance, average speed, high-speed running sprint maximal speed GPS-derived load data. In...
Background: The purpose of this study is to compare training load (TL) preceding a home versus away match in top-class elite European team during the 2015–2016 season. Methods: Twenty outfield soccer players with mean ± SD age, height and body mass 25.9 4.6 years, 183.1 6.6 cm 78.6 kg, respectively, participated study. Total distance covered, high-speed running (HSRD), average speed (AvS), rating perceived exertion (RPE) multiplied by duration (s-RPE) Hooper index (HI) were collected. Data...
The internal intensity monitoring in soccer has been used more recent years men's football; however, women's soccer, the existing literature is still scarce. aims of this study were threefold: (a) to describe weekly variations training monotony, strain and acute: chronic workload ratio through session Rated Perceived Exertion (s-RPE); (b) Hooper Index [stress, fatigue, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) sleep]; (c) compare those between playing positions player status. Nineteen players...
Although data currently exists pertaining to the intensity in women’s football match, knowledge about training is still scarce. Therefore, aim of this study was quantify external (locomotor activity) and internal (psychophysiological) intensities, as well wellness profile typical microcycle from professional female soccer players during 2019/20 in-season. Ten (24.6 ± 2.3 years) an elite Portuguese women team participated study. All variables were collected 87 session 15 matches for analysis...
The aims of this study were to: (i) analyse the within-microcycle variations in professional soccer players; (ii) relationships between wellness and training match load demands; (iii) match-day (MD) demands during following day (MD+1); (iv) MD before match-play (MD-1). Thirteen players (age: 24.85±3.13 years) monitored daily over 16-weeks for intensity. measures included fatigue, quality sleep, muscle soreness, mood stress using a 1–5 scale. Internal intensity was subjectively measured...
Abstract Background The aims of the study were to: (i) compare accumulated load and wellness between starters non-starters a European professional soccer team; (ii) analyze relationships measures and; (iii) training/match ratio (TMr) external internal non-starters. Methods Ten players considered while seven classified as over 16-week period in which six training sessions match day (MD) each weekly micro-cycle. following used: (fatigue, quality sleep, muscle soreness, stress, mood); (rated...
This study aimed to analyze anthropometric and body composition effects in professional soccer women players across the early mid-competitive 2019/20 season. Seventeen (age, height, mass, mass index of 22.7 ± 6.3 years, 167.5 5.6 cm, 60.7 6.6 kg 21.6 0.2 kg/m
Diabetes is one of the most prevalent noncommunicable diseases in world. This disease can affect both physical and mental health population. study analyzed prevalence Self-Perceived Health (SPH), self-reported depression, depressive symptoms comparison with Physical Activity Frequency (PAF) reported by Spanish older adults diabetes. A cross-sectional was carried out data from 2799 diabetic participants, all whom were residents Spain, aged 50-79 years, included European Surveys Spain (EHIS)...
The present study compared the effects of two different small-sided game (SSG) training methods, interval (ISSG) and continuous (CSSG) on bio-motor abilities young soccer players.Sixteen players (age: 19.5 ± 0.5 years; height: 177 4.72 cm) were ranked based result a running-based anaerobic sprint test (RAST) randomly divided into groups: CSSG (n = 8) ISSG 8). protocols performed for eight weeks, three sessions per week. Participants assessed twice (pre- post-intervention) to estimate their...
Background and Objectives: Interpretation of the load variations across a period seems important to control weekly progression or variation load, identify in-micro- mesocycle variations. Thus, aims this study were twofold: (a) describe in-season training monotony, strain acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR) through session ratings perceived exertion (s-RPE), total distance high-speed running (HSR); (b) compare those between starters non-starters. Materials Methods: Seventeen professional...
The aim of the present study was to compare electrical bioimpedance variables, blood markers and functional tests based on Body Mass Index (BMI) in older women. Associations between Phase Angle (PhA) with were also analyzed. A total 46 independent elderly people participated study, they divided into four groups according BMI values: Group 1 (G1, < 25 kg/m2); 2 (G2, > 25–30 3 (G3, 30–35 4 (G4, 35 kg/m2). In addition weight height used calculate BMI, following body composition variables...
