Locomotor and physiological demands of small-sided soccer games in wildcard and...

Background: Small-sided games (SSGs) are frequent training drills in soccer. This study investigated whether type of game (ie, with/without goalkeepers) and wildcard ( without vs internal vs external wildcard) impact the physiological (heartrate [HR]) and locomotor (total distance [TD] covered) demands in regular and wildcard players and to evaluate between-player and within-player variability. Hypothesis: Dema...

Physical Fitness and Body Composition of Youth Referees in Invasion Games

Referees’ activity can be an instrument for training students with an impact on health-related physical fitness (PF). This study aimed to investigate the differences in PF and body composition between students without sports practice (G1), students with regular sports practice (G2), and student referees in team invasion games (G3). Methods: This study followed a cross-sectional design. The sample comprised 45 m...

Ultimate Performance Analysis Tool (uPATO)

Differences in U14 football players’ performance between different small-sided ...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different formats and task conditions in small-sided conditioned games (SSCG) on young soccer players’ heart rate responses and time-motion profiles. Ten young male soccer players (age: 14.6 ± 0.8 years old; and years of practice: 4 ± 1.2) from a regional league were tested. Each player played in two different formats namely 1 versus 1 with another 1 neutral...

A systemic overview of football game: The principles behind the game

The football game is a specific system constituted by many players’ interactions. The specific nature of such sport must be properly analyzed and discussed in sport community in order to understand the principles that rules the system organization. As a team sport with specific properties it is truly important to discuss how players’ interactions from the dynamic nature of game. Therefore, the aim of this study...

Using network metrics to investigate football team players' connections: A pilo...

The aim of this pilot study was propose a set of network methods to measure the specific properties of football teams. These metrics were organized on “meso” and “micro” analysis levels. Five official matches of the same team on the First Portuguese Football League were analyzed. An overall of 577 offensive plays were analyzed from the five matches. From the adjacency matrices developed per each offensive play ...

Acute Effects of Different Formats of Small-Sided and Conditioned Handball Game...

The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of different formats (2-a-side, 3- a-side and 4-a-side) on heart rate responses of female students during small-sided and conditioned handball games. The heart rate responses were measured using heart rate monitors during physical education classes. Eight female students participated in the study (15 ± 0.0 years). The one-way ANOVA showed statistical differences w...

A network approach to characterize the teammates' interactions on football: a s...

The aim aim of this case study was to apply a set of network metrics in order to characterize the teammates’ cooperation in a football team. *ese metrics were applied in three levels of analysis: i) micro (individual analysis); ii) meso (players’ contribution for the team); and iii) macro (global interaction of the team). One-single case study match was observed and from such procedure were analysed 131 attacki...

Dynamical Stability and Predictability of Football Players: The Study of One Match

The game of football demands new computational approaches to measure individual and collective performance. Understanding the phenomena involved in the game may foster the identification of strengths and weaknesses, not only of each player, but also of the whole team. The development of assertive quantitative methodologies constitutes a key element in sports training. In football, the predictability and stabili...
