Shaping Training Load, Technical–Tactical Behaviour, and Well-Being in Football...
Afonso, Pedro; Forte, Pedro; Branquinho, Luís; Ferraz, Ricardo; Garrido, Nuno D.; Teixeira, José EduardoFootball performance results from the dynamic interaction between physical, tactical, technical, and psychological dimensions-each of which also influences player well-being, recovery, and readiness. However, integrated monitoring approaches remain scarce, particularly in youth and sub-elite contexts. This systematic review screened 341 records from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, with 46 studies meeting th...
Mapping football tactical behavior and collective dynamics with artificial inte...
Teixeira, José Eduardo; Maio, Eduardo; Afonso, Pedro; Encarnação, Samuel; Machado, Guilherme; Morgans, Ryland; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Monteiro, António M.Football, as a dynamic and complex sport, demands an understanding of tactical behaviors to excel in training and competition. Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolutionized the tactical performance analysis in football, offering unprecedented data analytics insights for players, coaches, and analysts. This systematic review aims to examine and map out the current state of research on AI-based tactical behavior...

Teixeira, José Eduardo; Branquinho, Luís; Leal, Miguel; Morgans, Ryland; Sortwell, Andrew; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Monteiro, A.M.; Afonso, PedroThe aim of this study was to analyze the match-to-match variation in high-intensity demands from one Portuguese professional football team according to playing positions. Twentythree male outfield professional football players were observed during eighteen matches of the Portuguese Second League. Time–motion data were collected using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. Match running performance was anal...
Data Mining Paths for Standard Weekly Training Load in Sub-Elite Young Football...
Teixeira, José Eduardo; Encarnação, Samuel Gonçalves; Branquinho, Luís; Morgans, Ryland; Afonso, Pedro; Rocha, João Pedro da Silva; Graça, Francisco M.The aim of this study was to test a machine learning (ML) model to predict high-intensity actions and body impacts during youth football training. Sixty under-15, -17, and -19 sub-elite Portuguese football players were monitored over a 6-week period. External training load data were collected from the target variables of accelerations (ACCs), decelerations (DECs), and dynamic stress load (DSL) using an 18 Hz gl...

Roxo, Guilherme; Torres, Paulo; Afonso, Pedro; Rego, Rúben; Resendes, Roberto; Moura, MónicaUma espécie quando vive fora da sua área de distribuição nativa é denominada de espécie exótica (do grego exotikós, “de fora”). Algumas destas espécies coexistem com as espécies nativas de forma equilibrada, no entanto quando causam impactes ambientais e económicos negativos estas são designadas de espécies invasoras. No arquipélago dos Açores mais de 60% da flora vascular corresponde a espécies exóticas. Estas...
