A Novel Approach to Training Monotony and Acute-Chronic Workload Index: A Compa...
Afonso, José; Nakamura, Fábio Yuzo; Canário-Lemos, Rui; Peixoto, Rafael; Fernandes, Cátia Sofia; Mota, Tomás; Ferreira, Miguel; Silva, RafaelaLoad is a multifactorial construct, but usually reduced to parameters of volume and intensity. In the last decades, other constructs have been proposed for assessing load, but also relying on relationships between volume and intensity. For example, Foster's Training Monotony has been used in athletes' load management simply by computing mean weekly load divided by its standard deviation, often multiplied by ses...
Towards a de facto Nonlinear Periodization: Extending Nonlinearity from Program...
Afonso, José; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Ribeiro, João; Ferreira, Miguel; Fernandes, Ricardo J.Planning is paramount in sport. Among different philosophical approaches to planning, periodization is a highly popular concept that refers to structured training periods with ensuing programs encompassing moments of progressively-loaded training, followed by recovery; it is normally deemed paramount to optimize adaptations and performance. While planning provides generic guidelines, periodization refers to the...
Dry needling in sports and sport recovery: a systematic review with an evidence...
Kuzdzal, Adrian; Trybulski, Robert; Muracki, Jaroslaw; Klich, Sebastian; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Kawczynski, AdamBackground Dry needling is an increasingly popular technique used in sports and regenerative medicine contexts. However, there is no comprehensive overview of investigations of dry needling in sports and sport recovery. Objectives The objectives were to perform a systematic review of dry needling in sports athletes with an evidence gap map, to identify current gaps in the literature, and to provide stakeholders...
Impact of lower-volume training on physical fitness adaptations in team sports ...
Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Ramirez-Campillo, Rodrigo; Moran, Jason; Zmijewski, Piotr; Silva, Rui Miguel; Randers, Morten BredsgaardBackground A small number of reviews have explored lower‑ versus higher‑volume training in non‑athletes, but the growing challenge of congested schedules in team sports highlights the need to synthesize evidence specific to team sport athletes. Thus, the objectives of this systematic review with meta‑analysis are twofold: (i) to summarize the primary physiological and physical fitness outcomes of lower‑volume v...
The Influence of Playing Position on Physical, Physiological, and Technical Dem...
Sarmento, Hugo; Martinho, Diogo V.; Gouveia, Élvio R.; Afonso, José; Chmura, Paweł; Field, Adam; Savedra, Nestor Ordoñez; Oliveira, RafaelBackground There has been an increase in studies examining the demands of soccer relative to each playing position in recent years. Understanding the physical, physiological, and technical demands on soccer players according to their positional role during competitive matches is necessary to understand match requirements and develop position-specifc training practices. Thereby, there is a clear need to synthesi...

Variability of external load measures during soccer match play: influence of pl...
Rabbani, Alireza; Ermidis, Giorgios; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Twist, CraigPurpose: The aims of this study were to examine the variability of selected external load metrics within 15-minute intervals during soccer match play and examine their relationship with players’ high-intensity intermittent fitness. Methods: A total of 18 male soccer players were monitored for their external load metrics during 26 matches, which included total distance, high metabolic-load distance, and mechanic...

Effects of a 16-week recreational small-sided games soccer intervention on body...
Xu, Qi; Qi, Kai; Liu, Guiyang; Li, TingYu; Clemente, Filipe ManuelRecreational small-sided games (SSGs) have demonstrated positive effects on body composition and physical fitness, while minimizing adverse outcomes. In this randomized controlled study, we aimed to investigate the impact of incorporating an additional 16-week intervention program involving recreational soccer SSGs on parameters related to body composition and physical fitness in sedentary young adult males and...
Relationship between testosterone and cortisol with anthropometric characterist...
Rodríguez García, Lorena; Ceylan, Halil Ibrahim; Silva, Ana Filipa; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Vecino, Beatriz Moreno; González Fernández, Francisco TomásPre-season training has been demonstrated to modify the physical fitness and hormone levels in professional soccer players. The present study aimed to analyze the relationships between testosterone and cortisol with anthropometric characteristics in a professional male soccer team after the pre-season period. Fourteen volunteer professional male soccer players participated in this study. Significant decreases i...
