“…Heading incidence in training of Under‐15 males is comparable to rates in the literature (IR: 2511) 16 . The number of headers per player per training in Under‐11 males, Under‐19 males, and Under‐17 females is similar to that of other observational studies with Under‐13 males, 19‐year‐old males (1 header per player per training), and Under‐16 females (approximately 1.4 headers per player per training) 26–28 . However, incidences in Under‐11 are much lower in the present study, compared to the Under‐12 in Beaudouin et al (IR: 5007) 16 .…”

“…Despite canceled training sessions and matches due to pandemic situations, the number and exposure time of observed training sessions is much higher compared to previous studies 16,26,27,37 . Single training sessions showed at times very high heading exposures, due to sessions focusing on heading training.…”

“…Also, our data might represent more realistic heading exposures, compared to cross‐sectional studies with an assessment of only one training session per team. Unfortunately, studies examining heading exposure in training are rare so far, despite the proportion of training sessions being much larger compared to matches 2,26,27 . The (rapid) increase in IR from Under‐11 to Under‐15, specifically in training might partly be explained by an increase in field size in these age groups as the number of players per team in matches increased and differing training plans.…”

ObjectiveConcerns about short‐ and long‐term consequences of repetitive heading contributed to heading restrictions in youth football in some countries. This prospective longitudinal cohort study aims to describe heading exposure in children's and youth football over two seasons using standardized video analysis.MethodsAll matches and training sessions of a male Under‐11 (n = 29), Under‐15 (n = 28), Under‐19 (n = 38), and female Under‐17 (n = 39) team were videotaped during the seasons 2019–2020 and 2020–2021. Heading frequencies and characteristics were analyzed. Individual heading exposure is presented as average incidence rates (IR) per 1000 match/training hours.ResultsIn 275 matches and 673 training sessions, 22 921 headers were observed. Heading IR per player in matches was 1256 (Under‐11 m), 1608 (Under‐15 m), 1050 (Under‐17 f), and 1966 (Under‐19 m). In training sessions, IR per player was 739 (Under‐11 m), 2206 (Under‐15 m), 1661 (Under‐17 f), and 1419 (Under‐19 m). Five Under‐15 males headed the ball five to eight times per training on average. Most headers were performed without heading duels. Flight distance was predominantly 5–20 m (54%) in matches and <5 m (65%) in training. While head impact location most frequently was at frontal areas, one‐third of all headers in Under‐11 in matches hit temporal, parietal, and occipital parts of the head.ConclusionHeading incidence was low in the youngest age group, whereas (predominantly five) Under‐15 males showed very high heading exposures in training. In assessment and regulation of heading burden, training sessions and individual heading behavior should specifically be addressed. Recommendations for heading the ball in practice should account for individual and age‐related differences.

“…15 Whereas, it has been reported that 38% of training time in youth soccer practice is in situations where duels may occur, resulting in players being involved in one duel every 6.4 min. 16 Similarly, in adult football, it is estimated that 50% of all injuries are due to contact or foul play. 17,18 Although injuries resulting from contact cannot be prevented, research suggests that improving strength and stability will increase players' resilience to injuries across youth and adult populations.…”

Strength and conditioning (S&C) is implemented across various sports and levels, but there is limited understanding of the personnel responsible for this, including their S&C practices and perspectives. Whereas recent evidence has shown that coaches and players are often tasked with the responsibility. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate: 1) the personnel responsible for delivering S&C across different levels of soccer, 2) the practices and perspectives of soccer coaches and players, and 3) to ascertain whether the practices employed align with contemporary evidence and guidelines. Forty-two soccer coaches and 30 soccer players completed an online survey with six sections: (a) informed consent, (b) background information, (c) education, qualifications, and prescription, (d) views on S&C, (e) exercise selection and preferences, and (f) issues and improvements. Frequency analysis was used to report responses to fixed-response questions and thematic analysis for open-ended questions. Most respondents reported S&C to be ‘important’ to ‘very important’ for all soccer, physical fitness, and injury parameters, with perspectives being predominantly aligned with S&C guidelines and research in soccer. Although S&C coaches were mostly responsible for delivering S&C sessions, over 60% of respondents disclosed S&C sessions were delivered independently or by support staff. This is problematic given only four coaches held S&C qualifications, and issues and improvements were mostly regarding a lack of S&C expertise and education. This study provides valuable information for S&C and soccer organizations. Particularly regarding the additional support required to ensure those responsible for delivering S&C in soccer have the appropriate knowledge and qualifications.

“…Research by Zen G has shown that the metabolic stress induced by 6 weeks of football training in the pre-match phase has a significant effect on the internal blood parameters of football players [3]. Experiments by Uebersax J assessed the structure, content, contact and intensity and incidence of headers in Swiss under-13 football training sessions [4]. Aleksieva M's research confirmed that after the game method was applied to football education, students' interest in football increased significantly [5].…”

Soccer is a sport in which the feet are mainly used to control the ball. Football today generally refers to modern football, which originated in China's "Cuju". It is an official event of the Olympic Games and a national sport that the public loves more. This paper aims to research and analyze the practice of football training and physical education through the football and related information obtained by big data artificial intelligence technology, so as to obtain practical conclusions. This paper gives a general introduction to the big data artificial intelligence technology, analyzes the relevant information of athletes in football training and actual physical education, and combines big data artificial intelligence technology with practical research in football training and physical education. Based on the experiments in this paper, it can be seen that the training intensity of the coaches arranged twice a week in the X football club was 85%. The coaches who arranged 3 times a week had a moderate to high exercise intensity of 65%. For coaches who arranged 4 or more times a week, the moderate exercise intensity was 50%. The results of this paper showed that the analysis of practical research in football training and physical education based on big data artificial intelligence technology was more abundant and scientific than the data obtained using traditional analysis methods.
