“…Players who undergo an early development are more likely to call-up selection teams and participate in talent arrest programmes [26,32]. Adjusting competitions to biological age would help to make them fairer and allow athletes to develop a greater variability in actions and a greater perception of self-efficacy [3,24], which would result in greater development of their physical abilities as well as more exponential evolution at a technical or tactical level [3].…”

The rules of team sport have been influenced by professional competitions without considering all the factors that differentiate children and adolescents from adults. The aim of this study was to analyse the performance of kinematic variables in two different types of tournaments and the influence of somatic maturation on performance in young basketball players. Thirty-seven under-13 male basketball players (age = 12.91 ± 0.57 years) were selected by four southeast Spanish teams to participate in two different tournaments. On the first day, the tournament was played according to the rules of the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB) for under-14 players, and on the second day, the tournament was played according to modified rules (Modified Tournament). In this tournament, the height of the basket was lowered to 2.90 m; the three-point line was a rectangle that was 4 m from the basket.The following kinematic variables were analysed: Acceleration (n), Deceleration (n), Maximum Acceleration Speed (km/h), Maximum Deceleration Speed (km/h), Acceleration Meters Covered (m), Deceleration Meters Covered (m), Number of Sprints (n), Sprint Meters Covered (m), Maximum Sprint Speed, and Player Load (n). The results showed no significant differences in player performance between the tournaments. However, significant differences in performance (p < 0.05) were found in players at different stages of maturation. Early maturity players showed the best performance in the kinematic variables in both tournaments; because of this, there should be a modification of the rules and organisation of competitions by bio-banding. It can be concluded that there were no significant differences in the kinematic variables between the two tournaments. However, when comparing maturation timing, there tends to be a group effect.

“…Authors should prioritise tracking devices with sampling frequencies above 10 Hz shape with an accelerometer ( Gómez-Carmona et al, 2020 ; Rico-González et al, 2020 ). The latest GPS devices already recommend a sampling frequency of 10–18 Hz, specifically 10 Hz GPS units (WIMU PRO; RealTrack Systems, Almeria, Spain) ( Canton et al, 2021 ; Machado et al, 2022 ), 10 Hz GPS (S5; Catapult Innovations, Melbourne, Australia) ( Folgado et al, 2019 ; Nieto et al, 2022 ), 10 Hz GPS (Polar Team Pro, Kempele, Finland) ( Praça et al, 2021 ), 15 Hz GPS (SPIPRO; GPSports, Canberra, ACT, Australia) ( Coutinho et al, 2017 ; Praça et al, 2016 ; Ric et al, 2016a ) and 18.18 Hz GPS (GPEXE GK; Exelio SRL, Udine, Italy) ( Jara et al, 2019 ). LPM devices and semiautomatic video tracking system used in the surveyed studies were the Prozone ® (ProZone Holdings Ltd, Leeds, UK) ( Folgado et al, 2015 ) and the Inmotio Object Tracking ® (BV., Amsterdam, The Netherlands) ( Olthof, Frencken & Lemmink, 2018 ).…”

Background Positional data have been used to capture physical and tactical factors in football, however current research is now looking to apply spatiotemporal parameters from an integrative perspective. Thus, the aim of this article was to systematically review the published articles that integrate physical and tactical variables in football using positional data. Methods and Materials Following the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA), a systematic search of relevant English-language articles was performed from earliest record to August 2021. The methodological quality of the studies was evaluated using the modified Downs and Black Quality Index (observational and cross-sectional studies) and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale (intervention studies). Results The literature search returned 982 articles (WoS = 495; PubMed = 232 and SportDiscus = 255). After screening, 26 full-text articles met the inclusion criteria and data extraction was conducted. All studies considered the integration of physical and tactical variables in football using positional data (n = 26). Other dimensions were also reported, such as psychophysiological and technical factors, however the results of these approaches were not the focus of the analysis (n = 5). Quasi-experimental approaches considered training sets (n = 20) and match contexts (n = 6). One study analysed both training and play insights. Small sided-games (SSG) were the most common training task formats in the reviewed studies, with only three articles addressing medium-sided (MSG) (n = 1) and large-sided games (LSG) (n = 2), respectively. Conclusions Among the current systematic review, the physical data can be integrated by player’s movement speed. Positional datasets can be computed by spatial movement, complex indexes, playing areas, intra-team and inter-team dyads. Futures researches should consider applying positional data in women’s football environments and explore the representativeness of the MSG and LSG.

“…Small-sided games (SSGs) represent well-established and popular training drills that simplify the complexities of real game formats with the aim of emphasizing specific objectives, such as tactical, technical, physical, and physiological aspects 1 . These games ensure the maintenance of the fundamental properties and dynamics of the game, such as one team opposing another 2 . While preserving these core properties, SSGs provide an opportunity to introduce acute stimuli, as players adapt their behavior to the dynamic scenarios and context, thereby naturally influencing locomotor demands 3 , 4 .…”

This study aimed to achieve two objectives: firstly, to analyze the relationships between aerobic fitness, as represented by the VIFT, and the heart rate and locomotor responses of youth male soccer players across various teams; and secondly, to compare players with lower and higher VIFT in terms of performance outcomes extracted during small-sided games (SSGs). A total of twenty-six youth male soccer players, aged 16.5 ± 0.32 years, with 3.4 ± 1.1 years of experience, voluntarily participated in the study. These players belonged to two regional-level tier 2 teams (trained/developmental). In the initial week of observation, the 30–15 Intermittent Fitness Test was implemented to measure the final velocity (VIFT) achieved by the players. Subsequently, the 5v5 format of play was conducted twice a week over two consecutive weeks, during which heart rate responses and locomotor demands were measured. The Pearson product-moment correlation test revealed a significant correlation between VIFT and the total distance covered during the 5v5 format (r = 0.471 [95% CI: 0.093; 0.721], p = 0.015). Conversely, small and non-significant correlations were identified between VIFT and mean heart rate (r = 0.280 [95% CI: − 0.126; 0.598]; p = 0.166), VIFT and peak heart rate (r = 0.237 [95% CI: − 0.170; 0.569]; p = 0.243), as well as VIFT and high-speed running (r = 0.254 [95% CI: − 0.153; 0.580]; p = 0.211). Players with higher VIFT demonstrated a significantly greater total distance, with a large effect size (+ 6.64%; p = 0.015; d = 1.033), compared to those with lower VIFT. Our findings suggest that improved performance in VIFT may lead to covering more distance in 5v5 matches. However, the lack of significant associations between VIFT and heart rate levels during SSGs suggests that they are not strongly correlated, possibly because VIFT is more closely linked to locomotor profile. As a practical implication, coaches may consider organizing players during SSGs based on their VIFT if the goal is to standardize locomotor demands.
