“…Another motivation might be associated with the training level of our sample (elite players). It is well reported that athletes that practice a specific sport are accustomed to performing specific sport related actions, thus, they show higher movements economy than novices (31). Consequently, amateur players report larger benefits by specific training programs than elite athletes (7,17,31).…”

“…Players cover distances of 10-13 km during matches and perform approximately 1350 activities (every 4-6 s), such as accelerations/decelerations, changes of direction (COD) and jumps, all of which are interspersed with short recovery periods (21). Therefore, the capacity to perform quick and powerful movements in soccer, as well as in other team sports is one of the most important abilities to acquire to improve performance (6,20,31).…”

“…Eccentric muscular activations play a paramount role during the SSC, and such mechanism is a key component also during soccer-specific actions such as COD, short shuttle runs and sprint activities (17,24,28). It is already reported in the literature that athletes accustomed to performing COD and short shuttle runs become more economical during such specific actions (7,8,25,31). Therefore, including specific COD exercises in a training program can elicit greater developments in fitness components associated with neuromuscular factors (such as sprint and jumps) (13,17,32).…”

Beato, M, Bianchi, M, Coratella, G, Merlini, M, and Drust, B. Effects of plyometric and directional training on speed and jump performance in elite youth soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 32(2): 289-296, 2018-Soccer players perform approximately 1,350 activities (every 4-6 seconds), such as accelerations/decelerations and changes of direction (CODs) during matches. It is well established that COD and plyometric training have a positive impact on fitness parameters in football players. This study analyzed the effect of a complex COD and plyometric protocol (CODJ-G) compared with an isolated COD protocol (COD-G) training on elite football players. A randomized pre-post parallel group trial was used in this study. Twenty-one youth players were enrolled in this study (mean ± SD; age 17 ± 0.8 years, mass 70.1 ± 6.4 kg, and height 177.4 ± 6.2 cm). Players were randomized into 2 different groups: CODJ-G (n = 11) and COD-G (n = 10), training frequency of 2 times a week more than 6 weeks. Sprint 10, 30, and 40 m, long jump, triple hop jump, and 505 COD test were considered. Exercise-induced within-group changes in performance for both CODJ-G and COD-G: long jump (effect size [ES] = 0.32 and ES = 0.26, respectively) and sprint 10 m (ES = -0.51 and ES = -0.22, respectively), after 6 weeks of training. Moreover, CODJ-G reported substantially better results (between-group changes) in long jump test (ES = 0.32). In conclusion, this study showed that short-term protocols (CODJ-G and COD-G) are important and able to give meaningful improvements on power and speed parameters in a specific soccer population. CODJ-G showed a larger effect in sprint and jump parameters compared with COD-G after the training protocol. This study offers important implications for designing COD and jumps training in elite soccer.

“…RST can be implemented using either straight sprints or CODs (Taylor et al, 2016a). It is already reported that the presence of CODs can be an important physiological and mechanical stimulus (Dellal et al, 2010;Nedrehagen et al, 2015;Zamparo et al, 2015), as it is well known that athletes accustomed to performing CODs and short shuttle runs can reduce the energy demand (economy) during such specific actions (Zamparo et al, 2014(Zamparo et al, , 2015(Zamparo et al, , 2016. Therefore, including specific COD exercises in a training program can elicit greater developments in fitness components associated with neuromuscular factors such as jump, sprint and repeated sprint performance Bishop et al, 2011).…”

Repeated-sprint training (RST) is considered a critical training method in team sports. It is well known that RST effects may depend on several variables such as the duration of the protocol and repeated-sprint methodology. Few studies have evaluated very short-term protocols and compared different RST modalities. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of 2 week RST including straight sprints or changes of direction (CODs) on physical performance in a sample of soccer players. This study used a randomised pre-post parallel group trial design. The participants were assigned to either an RST group using straight sprints (RST-SS = 18 players) or an RST group using CODs (RST-COD = 18 players). The protocols were: 3 sets of 7 x 30 m sprints for the RST-SS and 7 x 20 + 20 m (one COD of 180°) for the RST-COD, with 20 s and 4 min recovery between sprints and sets, respectively. The following evaluations were performed: 10 and 20 m sprint, agility test, repeated sprint test (RSTbest and RSTmean), and Yo-Yo Recovery Level 1. After the training period, the RST-SS did not report any performance variation, while the RST-COD showed improvements in the 10 m sprint and RSTbest (effect size = 0.70 and 0.65, respectively). The between-group analysis did not report any statistical difference between the RST-SS and the RST-COD. In conclusion, this study did not support the utilisation of a very short-term RST protocol with soccer players, however, the RST-COD presented some additional benefits in sprint performance compared to the RST-SS.

Energetics (and kinematics) of short shuttle runs

Abstract: The calculations proposed in this study allow to estimate C of short SR based on simple measures of v max and can be utilized to develop training protocols in basketball as well as in other team sports (characterized by repeated sprints over short distances).
