The aim of this study was to examine the construct validity selected field tests as indicators match-related physical performance. During competitive season, eighteen professional soccer players (age 26.2 ± 4.5 yrs, mass 80.8 7.8 kg, and height 181.9 3.7 cm) completed an incremental running test exhaustion, a vertical-jump repeated-sprint ability (RSA) test. Match performance quantified during official matches using video-computerized, semi-automatic, match analysis image recognition system,...

Three studies involving 108 football players were conducted to examine the reliability of a repeated-shuttle-sprint ability (RSSA) test and its differentiate between various competitive levels playing positions. Study 1: Short-term was determined in 22 professional completing RSSA (6 × 40-m sprints with 20 s recovery sprints) on two separate occasions. 2: Long-term (seasonal changes) examined 31 four times (during preseason period, at start, middle end season). 3: divided compared according...

To examine whether the fatigue accumulated during match play or determined by short bouts of high-intensity intermittent activities affect short-passing ability in junior soccer players. A further aim was to influence physical fitness as measured using Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test (YYIRT) on changes after a 5-min simulation (HIS).Sixteen players (mean +/- SD: age 17.6 0.5 yr, height 174 7 cm, body mass 68 6 kg) participated study. quasi-experimental control-period design used for...

Abstract Connolly, DR, Stolp, S, Gualtieri, A, Ferrari Bravo, D, Sassi, R, Rampinini, E, and Coutts, AJ. How do young soccer players train? A 5-year analysis of weekly training load its variability between age groups in an elite youth academy. J Strength Cond Res 38(8): e423–e429, 2024—The aim this study was to quantify the session rating perceived exertion (sRPE), duration, accrued across typical weeks undertaken by players. Differences starters, nonstarters, variations variables were also...

Microcycles are fundamental structures for training prescription and load management, helping to optimise effects performance. This study quantified external internal loads of Italian Serie A youth soccer players across competitive weeks their periodisation within microcycles. Data were collected from 90 belonging four age groups (under-19, -17, -16, -15) a season. Methods monitoring [duration global navigation satellite systems (GNSS)] [heart rate (HR) rating perceived exertion (RPE)]...

To effectively monitor post-match changes in physical performance, valid, reliable and practical measures which are sensitive to change required. This study aimed quantify test-retest reliability sensitivity of a range performance recorded during an isometric posterior chain (IPC) lower-limb muscle test countermovement jump (CMJ) test.Eighteen Italian Serie A academy soccer players performed three IPC repetitions per limb five CMJ trials 4 testing sessions. Test-retest was evaluated between...

This study aimed to describe the distribution of training load (session rating perceived exertion (sRPE), duration, and sRPE-training load) across weekly microcycles an elite youth academy assess differences between four different age groups (U15-U16-U17-U19). Training variables were recorded during in-season weeks over 5 competitive seasons (from 2014–15 2018–19, evaluating new squads for each group season) a total 456 player observations. Mixed models assessed variability three days...
