“…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.…”

“…Conflicting research debates the total distance travelled throughout a match; the concluded distance players cover is 8-12 km, with distances at elite levels reaching 14 km. 20,16 Collective studies, conclude midfielders performing the largest total distance in comparison to other playing positions. 3,10 External midfielders previously recorded distances covering 11990+776 m whilst central midfielders recorded distances of 12027+625 m throughout the duration of a 90-minute 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.

Purpose. This study aims to estimate the relevant maximum aerobic speed performance and its relationship with volleyball game motor power-explosive abilities. Shown in rugby and soccer science literature, maximal aerobic speed is considered as a critical factor for improving the athlete’s ability to recover from high-intensity and fatiguing actions. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, we categorised the motor abilities (vertical jump, spike approach, block jump, 20-meter sprint, T-Test (agility) and standing triple jump) results of 60 elite male players (age 23 ± 1.56 with playing experience up to 5 years in the Oran elite leagues). We based ourselves on their MAS results in two levels (+ or – 4 m/s) in 1200 m Shuttle Test as a valuable test to measure player maximal aerobic speed profile. Results. Our results approved the performance level of maximal aerobic speed archived at up to 4 (m/s) as the enhanced level directly related to notable levels of players’ motor abilities studied in the present study. Conclusions. Our protocol of maximum aerobic speed performance confirmed level 4 (m/s) as the relevant MAS level positively related to motor abilities components such as agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction, and speed, contrary to its lows.

As a conventional device to establish the specific player training and to allowing trainers to monitor training loads more accurately (9). Aimed at the present study, through levels of (MAS) as a protocol to test their relations with skills fitness abilities.…”

Part B (26/01/2017). ABSTRACT Aim:The study aims to study the impact of Maximal Aerobic Speed (MAS) levels on the growth of skills fitness among volleyball. Methods: To achieve this objective, we assess the levels of MAS for 60 elite male volleyball players (ages 22 to 25 years with +5 years' experience in elite championships). Tested by volleyball Alberta tests and standing triple jump and T agility tests to estimate the effect of coordination abilities on players body adaptations to recover from the highintensity and fatiguing actions as a result of levels of endurance. Results: Backup on statistics applied, centred on MAS levels as protocol. We confirmed that a high-level of MAS enhanced skills fitness. Admitted by the inverse correlation between the levels of MAS in compares with speed, power and explosive abilities. In the benefits of players with elevated levels of MAS as a beneficial condition to improve skills fitness (Serve-attack/Spike/Block) among volleyball players.Conclusion: our protocol supports the development of MAS at 4 + (m/s). Agreed as minimal components of physical condition allied to neuromuscular system adaptations, which permit players not only to improve their speed and power components. But also, their ability to recover from highintensity and fatiguing actions.
