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'...
Akenhead, R, Harley, J, and Tweddle, S. Examining the external training load of an English Premier League football team with special reference to acceleration. J Strength Cond Res 30(9): 2424-2432, 2016-Practitioners coaches often use variables such as distance run number high-speed running (HSR) activities quantify training. However, important component may be overlooked when acceleration are not considered. The aim this study was describe within-microcycle distribution load, including...
This study examined the acceleration demands associated with changing direction and subsequent physiological consequences of during running at 3 submaximal speeds. 10 male professional footballers completed four 600 m bouts speeds (2.50, 3.25 & 4.00 m·s<sup>−1</sup>). Each bout was in format either: i) laps a 200 track (CON), ii) ten 60 shuttles (S60), iii) twenty 30 (S30), or iv) thirty 20 (S20). Peak heart rate (HR<sub>PEAK</sub>), blood lactate concentration (BLa) RPE (Borg CR-10) were...
Objective:This study aimed to establish firstly, the sensitivity of subjective wellness, jump performance and triaxial accelerometer measures training-induced fatigue secondly, reproducibility this response.Methods: In 14 elite youth football players, morning assessments wellness (fatigue, sleep quality, muscle soreness, stress mood), (countermovement height [CMJ], squat [SJ] drop contact time [DJ-CT], [DJ-JH] reactive strength index [DJ-RSI]) data (PlayerLoadTM (PL), individual movement...
Evaluate plantar loading during 'on-field' common football movements in players after fifth metatarsal (MT-5) stress fracture and compare with matched healthy players.Fourteen elite male soccer participated the study conducted on a natural grass playing surface using firm ground boots. Seven who had suffered primary (MT-5 group) seven (controls, CON) performed three while in-shoe data were collected.Large between-group differences exist for maximal vertical force normalised to bodyweight...
The purpose was to assess sleep patterns, quantity and quality in adolescent (16.2 ± 1.2 yr) Middle Eastern academy soccer players (n = 20) the influence of an intermission upon these characteristics. On a 17-day training camp (located one time zone west home) including three discrete matches, assessed pre- (PRE) post-match (POST) via wrist actigraphy. Retrospective actigraphy analysis identified characteristics, if experienced (YES) or not (NO) proximal dawn, bedtime (hh:mm), get-up bed...
Purpose:Prescribing the appropriate dose of repeated sprint training to a large number players in team sports environment presents challenge practitioners. Players experience fatigue and performance decrements at different rates, so means monitoring this would be interest coaches. This study aimed identify if accelerometer load could used detect decrement during sprints.Materials Methods:Nine male semi-professional amateur soccer performed 25 m sprints (2 × 12.5 with 180° change direction)...
ABSTRACT RECENT DATA SUGGEST ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURY OCCURRENCE IN TEAM SPORTS IS NOT DECREASING. ALTHOUGH THE REASONS CURRENTLY ELUDE US AND ARE LIKELY COMPLEX, ADOPTING A MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH THAT SHIFTS OUR PERSPECTIVE FROM PURELY PHYSICAL CONSIDERATIONS MAY BE GOOD STARTING POINT. CONSIDERATION SHOULD GIVEN TO INHERENT PERCEPTUAL DEMANDS OF COMPLEX INTERPLAY BETWEEN CAPACITIES DECISION MAKING, WHICH ULTIMATELY DETERMINES MOVEMENT, PERFORMANCE, RISK. TRAINING PROGRAMS...
We examined acute alterations in gait and oxygen cost from shod-to-barefoot running habitually-shod well-trained runners with no prior experience of barefoot. Thirteen completed six-minute treadmill runs shod barefoot on separate days at a mean speed 12.5 km·h-1. Steady-state the final minute was recorded. Kinematic data were captured 30-consecutive strides. Mean differences between conditions estimated 90% confidence intervals. When barefoot, stride length ground-contact time decreased...
Sub-optimal sleep durations relative to the National Sleep Foundations (NSF) guidelines of 8-10 h per night are seen in adolescents globally, with Middle East region having specific lifestyle, environmental and cultural nuances which exacerbate these deficiencies. These deficiencies due general athlete negotiable (eg pre-bed screen time, socialising, etc) non-negotiable schooling, travel, factors. This is concerning given proposed relationship between illness/injury risk, athletic...
