“…In recent years, it is known that the distance covered during a soccer game and the sports success are multifactor phenomenon which depend on many other variables (Barnes, Archer, Hogg, Bush, & Bradley, 2014;Bradley et al, 2015;Castellano & Blanco-Villaseñor, 2015;Tierney et al, 2016). Consequently, the search for relations between both factors should be carried out from holistic approaches which have taken into consideration the interaction between the different variables which intervene in a simultaneous way (Passos, Araújo, & Davids, 2013;Vilar, Araujo, Davids, & Button, 2012).…”

“…These conditional demands, especially those in reference to high intensity, have increased in professional soccer in recent years (Bradley et al, 2015). Multiple variables of the situation such as the location (Castellano, Blanco-Villaseñor, & Álvarez, 2011), the competitive category (Di Salvo, Pigozzi, Gonzalez-Haro, Laughlin, & De Witt, 2013), the opponent's level (Folgado, Duarte, Fernandes, & Sampaio, 2014), the tactical system (Tierney, Young, Clarke, & Duncan, 2016), the playing style (Morgans, Adams, Mullen, McLellan, & Williams, 2014), the demarcation (Andrezejewski, Chmura, Pluta, & Konarski, 2015), the origin of the players (Casamichana & Castellano, 2014) and the time with and without the ball (Da Mota, Thiengo, Gimenes, & Bradley, 2016), condition the quantity and the intensity of the efforts demanded during the competition.…”

Background: The analysis of the efforts performed during a soccer match and its relation with the competitive success still presents numerous questions. Objective: 1) To describe and compare the physical demands (total covered meters and meters covered at high speed ranges), between the teams of the Spanish First and Second Division league. 2) To determine if the distance covered of the teams is related to the sports success (final classification, the points obtained and the goals in favour and against). Method: A total of 712 games (First and Second Division) were analysed using a computerized multi-camera system (Mediacoach, Mediapro and LaLiga ©). In order to quantify the physical performance, the following distances were recorded: total distance (TD), the distance covered between 21-24 km/h (DHI) and distance covered above 24km/h) (DVHI). In order to quantify the sports success, we considered the final classification, the obtained points as well as the goals in favour and against. Results: The total distance covered by the teams of the First and Second Division Leagues was similar, however, the distance covered at high intensity and distance covered at very high intensity was greater in the teams of the First Division (p<0.05; d of Cohen >1.2). No relations were detected between the meters covered and the recorded success indicators. Conclusion: This data should be taken into account by the coaches and physical trainers when guiding the training process of

Martín-García, A, Gómez Díaz, A, Bradley, PS, Morera, F, and Casamichana, D. Quantification of a professional football team's external load using a microcycle structure. J Strength Cond Res 32(12): 3520-3527, 2018-The aims of this study were to (a) determine the external load of a football team across playing position and relative to competition for a structured microcycle and (b) examine the loading and variation the day after competition for players with or without game time. Training and match data were obtained from 24 professional football players who belonging to the reserve squad of a Spanish La Liga club during the 2015/16 season using global positioning technology (n = 37 matches and n = 42 training weeks). Training load data were analyzed with respect to the number of days before or after a match (match day [MD] minus or plus). Training load metrics declined as competition approached (MD-4 > MD-3 > MD-2 > MD-1; p < 0.05; effect sizes [ES]: 0.4-3.1). On the day after competition, players without game time demonstrated greater load in a compensatory session (MD + 1C) that replicated competition compared with a recovery session (MD + 1R) completed by players with game time (MD + 1C > MD + 1R; p < 0.05; ES: 1.4-1.6). Acceleration and deceleration metrics during training exceeded 50% of that performed in competition for MD + 1C (80-86%), MD-4 (71-72%), MD-3 (62-69%), and MD-2 (56-61%). Full backs performed more high-speed running and sprint distance than other positions at MD-3 and MD-4 (p < 0.05; ES: 0.8-1.7). The coefficient of variation for weekly training sessions ranged from ∼40% for MD-3 and MD-4 to ∼80% for MD + 1R. The data demonstrate that the external load of a structured microcycle varied substantially based on the players training day and position. This information could be useful for applied sports scientists when trying to systematically manage load, particularly compensatory conditioning for players without game time.

“…14 Secondary factors affecting external workload include the style of play and team formation. 22,20 The evolution concerning style of play within professional football has been suggested by Di Mascio and Bradley, 14 whom produced conclusions which demonstrate an increased distance covered by contemporary English Premier League players (11 km) compared to those in the original First Division (8.2 km) observed by Reilly and Thomas. 23 The increase in 2.8 km supports the physical demands of football increasing with every position involved in defensive and offensive phases across a match.…”

The purpose of the study was to examine the physiological external workload, of amateur female footballers, across varying heart rate intensities, as well as, interpret fatigue between each half of the Soccer-Specific Aerobic Field Test (SAFT 90) protocol. Methods A sample of n=24 amateur female football players (mean±SD; age: 20.7±4.0 years; stretched stature=165.6±5.8 cm, body mass=58.1±4.7 kg) were recruited during the 2016/2017 competitive season. Maximum heart rate (HR max) values were determined using the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery level 1 (Yo-Yo IR Level 1) with the SAFT 90 protocol used to interpret the physiological and mechanical demands displayed during football match. A one-way analysis of variance was applied to determine the differences between each position (defenders, midfielders, and forwards) with the level of significance set at alpha level p<0.05. Results There were statistically significant differences between each position and total external workload (F(df:23)=9.156; (p<0.05), in addition to average heart rate (HR) across 90-minutes (F(df:23)=22.317; (p<0.05). Statistical significance determined differences between each position and the duration of time spent within the prescribed HR intensity zones, including zone 1 (<70% HR max), zone 2(70-85% HR max) and zone 4(90-95% HR max) across the SAFT 90. The total distance all players completed across the 90-minutes was 10913.7±1076.7 m, whereas the shortest external workload (10020.4±1086.6 m) was completed by defenders and largest (11781.9±324.7 m) by midfielders. The average heart rate of all player's was 161.1±14.7 bpm-1 resulting in a mean intensity of representing 81% HR max. Conclusion Midfielders spent the largest proportion of time between zone 2 and zone 4. Based on these results, coaches are able to determine which type of physiological profile is needed for a specific position and use this information to design specifically prescribed training programmes to maximise the fitness development.
