“…Moreover, HSR and sprinting distances were also found to reduce towards the end of the game and temporarily after intense periods [1,9]. In particular, these periods coincide with the last 10-15 min of each half when higher frequency of goals are scored during a match [10]. On an individual level, the ability to repeatedly cope with the high-intensity demands of the match and to effectively execute their tactical role may ultimately represent an asset to gain advantages in attacking and defensive situations over the opponents [11].…”

High-speed running and sprinting training play an important role in the development of physical capabilities, sport-specific performance and injury prevention among soccer players. This commentary aims to summarize the current evidence regarding high-speed running and sprinting training in professional soccer and to inform its implementation in research and applied settings. It is structured into four sections: 1) Evidence-based high-speed running and sprinting conditioning methodologies; 2) Monitoring of high-speed running and sprinting performance in soccer 3) Recommendations for effective implementation of high-speed running and sprinting training in applied soccer settings; 4) Limitations and future directions. The contemporary literature provides preliminary methodological guidelines for coaches and practitioners. The recommended methods to ensure high-speed running and sprinting exposure for both conditioning purposes and injury prevention strategies among soccer players are: high-intensity running training, field-based drills and ball-drills in the form of medium- and large-sided games. Global navigation satellite systems are valid and reliable technologies for high-speed running and sprinting monitoring practice. Future research is required to refine, and advance training practices aimed at optimizing individual high-speed running and sprinting training responses and associated long-term effects.

“…Based on this, although the increase in the frequency of goals in the final moments of the match has been linked to the physical wear of the players [ 25 ], other aspects may also be related to this increase, such as mental fatigue, a feeling of tiredness and lack of energy experienced during the game due to the numerous decision-making situations [ 48 ]. Studies show that players under mental fatigue make more tactical mistakes and make worse decisions [ 47 , 58 ].…”

“…Thus, if the player is physically worn out, the greater the need for movement adjustments and the less qualified these actions tend to be during the game, since acute physical fatigue causes neurophysiological changes that affect the central nervous system [ 19 ] and impair movement on the motor and physical plane [ 20 , 21 ]. Given these changes, researchers have identified that physical fatigue leads to a lower frequency of movements such as accelerations and sprints [ 22 ], decreases the distance covered and the velocity of actions [ 23 ], reduces the efficiency of passes and shooting [ 24 ], and increases the incidence of goals in the final minutes of a match [ 25 ].…”

The effect of physical fatigue on the performance of soccer players: A systematic review

2022

This study aimed to carry out a systematic review to analyze, describe and discuss the effect of physical fatigue on the performance of soccer players. For this systematic review, searches were performed in Pubmed, Web of Science and SPORTDiscus electronic database until October 3, 2020, following the guidelines of PRISMA. A total of 12 articles met the inclusion criteria: i) healthy soccer players from any age group, competitive level or sex; ii) exposure to physical fatigue; iii) pre and post-physical fatigue conditions; iv) players’ cognitive, technical, physical and tactical performances and v) no restrictions regarding the study design. The results section was organized in four main dimensions: cognitive, technical, physical and tactical. Studies on cognitive performance have shown divergent results, varying according to the cognitive task employed and the physical protocol used. Regarding technical performance, negative effects of physical fatigue were found on the technical fundamentals of the pass, dribble and kick. With regard to physical performance, studies have shown a reduction in sprint capacity and distances covered at high velocity. Finally, the only study that analyzed the tactical performance in the field showed an increase in the team’s collective tactical behavior, but did not include analysis of the players’ individual tactical actions. In summary, the results of the analyzed studies show that the effect of physical fatigue on cognitive performance is inconclusive and that technical and physical performance are negatively affected. Regarding tactical performance, there is a lack of information on the topic in the current literature.

“…Goals created from positional attacks in the 2012 European Cup Championship are 60% (Mitrotasios & Armatas, 2012). The 2006 FIFA World Cup edition to the 2014 FIFA World Cup also shows that the highest shot values come from positional play (Kubayi & Toriola, 2019). The 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia also recorded the highest number of shots coming from positional play (Kubayi, 2020).…”

“…When compared with the average goals scored during the 2006 to 2018 editions of the FIFA World Cup, there are more goals scored in the 2021 League 3 of Indonesia Bali Zone. In the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany an average of 2.30 goals per match, the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa 2.27 goals per game (Njororai, 2013), the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil average 2.67 goals per game (Kubayi & Toriola, 2019), and in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia an average of 2,64 goals per game. Based on the period per 15 minutes, it can be seen that the highest number of shots occurred in the 15-30 minute period and the 30-45 minute game time is the highest number of goals scored during the league.…”

An indicator of a success football team in a match is to score more goals than its opponents. Continuous and stable victories can be achieved by applying sports science and technology, one of them in this case is analyzing team performance. The purpose of this study is to describe the pattern of shots taken and goals scored during League 3 of Indonesia Bali Zone in 2021. The research method chosen for this study is descriptive quantitative research. A total of 38 matches are observed to see the number of shots and goals scoring patterns based on time intervals (15 minutes), type of play, number of passes before shot and goal scoring, player action before shooting and goal scoring, playing zone and player position in play. The result of this study indicates that 52.9% of shots occurred in the first half and 51.8% of goals are scored in the second half. Shots (78%) and goals (77%) occurred through the open play process. 61.2% of shots and 64.7% of goal scoring come from the lowest number of passes (0-4 passes). In the central ultra-offensive zone, there are 43.7% shots and 71.2% goal scoring. Based on the playing position, the midfielder recorded the number of shots 34.5% and the striker got 39.6% in scoring goals. The findings of this study can provide information for coaches in seeing the scoring pattern of all teams playing in the Indonesia League 3 Bali Zone. Therefore, it has implications for the way the coach prepares a tactical training program that focuses on how to goal scoring. The limitation of this study is that it has not identified the part of the goal area that produces score. It is important further to examine the part of the goal area where the ball is often conceded or scored by the opponent.
