“…Advancements in technology made it possible to more accurately measure internal and external loads and thus the physical demands of soccer training and matches can now be better quantified ( Halson, 2014 ; Bourdon et al, 2017 ; Palucci Vieira, Carling, Barbieri, Aquino, & Santiago, 2019 ; Miguel et al, 2021 ; Torres-Ronda et al, 2022 ). Numerous studies assessed match loads of elite male, female, and youth soccer players regarding physical performance capacities, playing positions, tactical formation, or different contextual factors (e.g., match location, environmental conditions, match importance, preparation, fixture congestion, season phase, match outcome, nutrition strategies, game rules) ( Link & de Lorenzo, 2016 ; Palucci Vieira et al, 2019 ; Julian, Page, & Harper, 2020 ; Altmann et al, 2021 ; Chmura et al, 2021 ; Forcher et al, 2022a ; Forcher et al, 2022b ; Draper et al, 2022 ; Harkness-Armstrong, Till, Datson, Myhill, & Emmonds, 2022 ; Hulton, Malone, Clarke, & MacLaren, 2022 ; Sarmento et al, 2022 ). While the findings, especially at elite level, are not consistent, it is evident that data from one population group may not be relevant to other population groups ( Palucci Vieira et al, 2019 ; Saeterbakken et al, 2019 ; Reynolds et al, 2021 ; Forcher et al, 2022a ).…”
