Identifying Optimal Pitch Training Load in Elite Soccer Players

There are no data in the literature regarding the optimal pitch training load (PTL) for elite soccer teams during congested seasons. This study had three goals: (1) identify whether there is an adaptation in match physical performance (MPP) in response to PTL throughout a congested season in elite soccer players; (2) identify whether MPP adaptation is specific to the coach’s PTL philosophy; and (3) identify the...

Lower body strength and body composition in female football

Lower-body strength plays a crucial role in football performance and injury prevention, and thus, monitoring of strength variables has become crucial in the training process. This study aims to (1) assess knee muscle strength performance through intra- and inter-limb asymmetries and (2) examine the relationships between knee muscle strength, body composition, and vertical jump performance (squat jump and counte...

8-ZONE LUNG ULTRASOUND AND BIOIMPEDANCE ANALYSIS FOR ASSESSMENT OF HYDRATION ST...

The 8-zone Lung US protocol is efficient to evaluate patients prior to HD sessions. There is a good correlation between the total number of B lines determined by the 8-zone protocol and bioimpedance parameters such as TBW, ECW, and normalized OH. This demonstrates that the 8-zone protocol can effectively be used in routine evaluations of HD patients. Although these techniques reflect different over-fluid compar...

Identifying the ideal weekly training load for in-game performance in an elite ...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the ideal training load to be applied during periods of fixture congestion to ensure an adequate dose-response effect for performance maintenance. Methods: Match performance data and corresponding pre-match training load sessions (both N = 498 match performance cases and training-block session cases) were collected (with the catapult system, VECTOR7) fr...

Emerging Technologies to Promote Fans Interaction in Football Events: A Systema...

As the digital revolution continues to take hold in contemporary society, new technology and communications networks have provided football with new possibilities and prospects for expansion. This study provides an assessment of the published research regarding innovative digital tools designed to increase the interactivity of fans when watching a football match, regardless of whether they do it at home or at t...

Virtual Reality Gaming in Rehabilitation after Musculoskeletal Injury—User Expe...

The purposes of this study were twofold: (1) to describe a new technological solution for the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries based on virtual reality (VR) gaming, and (2) to analyze the variation in rated perceived exertion (RPE) and heart rate (HR) of the participants when undergoing a rehabilitation session based on different VR games. Thirty-seven participants aged 23.7 ± 7.0 years tested during ...

Differential Patterns in Motivations for Practicing Sport and Their Effects on ...

This study aims to report what motivates individuals to be physically active, to determine whether motivating factors influence physical activity (PA) levels, and whether this differs across the lifespan. This is a cross-sectional study with 498 individuals: 117 adolescents, 306 adults, and 75 older adults. PA was assessed using Baecke’s questionnaire, and motivating factors for practicing sports were investiga...

Bessel Potentials and Lions-Calderón Spaces

O principal objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um gradiente fracionário, utilizado por Tien-Tsan Shieh e Daniel E. Spector em 2015 para estudar uma nova classe de equações com derivadas parciais. Esse gradiente fracionário permite dar uma caracterização para os espaços de Lions-Calderón (que são também conhecidos na literatura como espaços de potenciais de Bessel) idêntica à caracterização usual dos espaços d...

Associations between muscular strength and vertical jumping performance in adol...

This study aimed to investigate the associations between muscular strength tests and vertical jumping performance (countermovement jump [CMJ] and squat jump [SJ]) in adolescent male football players, while controlling for important predictors such as chronological age and body composition. Methods. The sample involved 161 male footballers (mean age: 15.8 ± 1.7 years) from the under-19, under-17, and under-15 ag...
