“…This team sport involves periods of high-intensity activity, interspersed with lower intensity actions (Strauss, Sparks, & Pienaar, 2019), as well as technical and tactical components (Raiola & D'Isanto, 2016). Recent studies have pointed out that football players cover between 8000 m and 14000 m during a match (Aguiar, Botelho, Lago, Maças, & Sampaio, 2012) showing that several physical skills such as running, kicking, dribbling, and tackling can affect a player's performance (Filetti, D'Ottavio, Ruscello, Manzi, & Moalla, 2016;Chang & Dong, 2016). These efforts increase the physical demands of the players and contribute to the characterization of football as a sport with high metabolic and physiological demands (Iaia, Rampinini, & Bangsbo, 2009;Arslan et al, 2017).…”
