Big Data has real value when the veracity of the collected data has been previously identified. However, data veracity for load monitoring in professional soccer players has not been analyzed yet. This systematic review aims to evaluate the current evidence from the scientific literature related to data veracity for load monitoring in professional soccer. Systematic searches through the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were conducted for reports onthe data veracity of diverse load monitoring tools and the associated parameters used in professional soccer. Ninety-four studies were finally included in the review, with 39 different tools used and 578 associated parameters identified. The pooled sample consisted of 2066 footballers (95% male: 24 ± 3 years and 5% female: 24 ± 1 years). Seventy-three percent of these studies did not report veracity metrics for anyof the parameters from these tools. Thus, data veracity was found for 54% of tools and 23% of parameters. The current information will assist in the selection of the most appropriate tools and parameters to be used for load monitoring with traditional and Big Data approaches while identifying those still requiring the analysis of their veracity metrics or their improvement to acceptable veracity levels.

RESUMOA aplicação do gelo (resfriamento) tem sido uma estratégia popular durante as atividades físicas para aumentar o desempenho. O objetivo deste estudo foi testar se diferentes locais de resfriamento podem aumentar o número de repetições (volume) durante o treinamento resistido com restrição do fluxo sanguíneo (RFS). Dez mulheres se voluntariaram para este estudo. A caracterização da amostra é apresentada em média e desvio padrão: idade: 28,5 ± 8,6 anos; estatura: 164,6 ± 8,3 cm; massa corporal total: 61,5 ± 7,1; teste de força muscular dinâmica (1RM): 236,5 ± 54,8kg; 30% 1RM: 71,6 ± 16,5; PAS: 124,7 ± 7,7 mm Hg; 1,3 x PAS: 161,8 ± 10,4 mmHg, participaram do estudo. Os sujeitos realizaram cinco sessões de exercício resistido com RFS. Três séries foram realizadas em cada sessão, com a intensidade de 30% de 1RM até falha muscular e 30 segundos de descanso entre as séries. Os locais de resfriamento foram: mãos, pescoço e temperatura do túnel. Uma sessão sem resfriamento foi realizada e considerada como grupo controle. Não houve diferença no número total de repetições entre as intervenções, nem diferença entre as intervenções para percepção subjetiva de esforço (P = 0,49). Portanto, nós não recomendamos o resfriamento para manter um alto número de repetições durante o treinamento de força com restrição do fluxo sanguíneo. Palavras-chave: Fadiga. Kaatsu training. Treinamento de força. ABSTRACTThe ice application (cooling) has become popular during physical activities to improve performance. This study aimed to test whether different cooling places could increase the number of repetitions (volume) during resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR). Ten women volunteered for this study. The sample characterization is presented in mean and standard deviation: age: 28.5 ± 8.6 years; height: 164.6 ± 8.3 cm; total body mass: 61.5 ± 7.1 maximal dynamic strength test (1RM): 236.5 ± 54.8 kg; 30% 1RM: 71.6 ± 16.5; SBP: 124.7 ± 7.7 mm Hg; 1.3 x SBP: 161.8 ± 10.4 mm Hg. The subjects performed five sessions of resistance exercise with BFR. Three sets were held in each session, with the intensity of 30% of 1RM until muscle failure; and 30-second rest period between sets. The cooling sites were: hands, neck, and tunnel temperature. One session without cooling was done and considered as a control group. There was neither difference in the total number of repetitions of repetitions among interventions, nor a significant difference among interventions for RPE (P = 0.49). Therefore, we do not recommend cooling to maintain a high number of repetitions during strength training with BFR.
