Sports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(7), P. 196 - 196

Published: July 19, 2024

Performance analysis in sports is a rapidly evolving field, where academics and applied performance analysts work together to improve coaches' decision making through the use of indicators (PIs). This study aimed provide comprehensive factors affecting running (RP) soccer teams, focusing on low (LI), medium (MI), high-speed distances (HI) number runs (NHI). Data were collected from 185 matches Turkish first division's 2021-2022 season using InStat Fitness's optical tracking technology. Four linear mixed-model analyses conducted RP metrics with fixed factors, including location, team quality, opponent ball possession, high-press, counterattacks, central defenders, forwards. The findings indicate that high-press quality affect MI (d = 0.311, d 0.214) HI 0.303, 0.207); influences 0.632); location counterattacks impact 0.228, 0.450); defenders affects NHI 0.404, 0.319); possession LI 0.287). forwards did not influence any metrics. provides valuable insights into influencing soccer, highlighting complex interactions between formations physical, technical-tactical, contextual variables. Understanding these dynamics can help coaches optimize strategic making.

F1000Research, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13, P. 392 - 392

Published: Jan. 13, 2025

Background Understanding the epidemiology of soccer injuries during specific international competitions is essential for customizing preventive strategies. Several studies have reported outcomes related to but, best our knowledge, there has been no investigation into injury patterns any African Cup Nations (AFCON) tournaments. This study aimed analyse incidence and characteristics 2021 (AFCON), which took place in Cameroon from January 9 February 6, 2022. Methods A video-based analysis covering 52 matches was conducted by two independent consultant physicians. They reviewed replays determine ( i.e. ; mechanisms, body location, match moment, player substitution, absence next match, referee decisions). Results The tournament involved 519 male players, comprising 275 (ALP) 244 Non-African (NALP) league players. Eighty-seven occurred, with incidences 1.7 48.8 per 1000 hours, respectively. Injury rose competition stages, particularly contact mechanism injuries. Non-contact (23/87) predominantly occurred after 60 minutes play (19/23), thigh being most frequently affected part (18/87). Older age playing time significantly correlated occurrence (p=0.032 p<0.001, respectively). NALP midfielders forwards were notably injured mechanisms (36/45) attacking zone. Although non-contact more common ALP than (13/42 vs. 9/45), difference lacked statistical significance (p=0.240), a higher rate muscle 10/45, p=0.001). Conclusion Muscle prevailed among professional players AFCON, older identified as key associated factors. prevalent compared NALP.

Tyrosine supplementation is ineffective in facilitating soccer players’ physical and cognitive performance during high-intensity intermittent exercise in hot conditions

PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 20(1), P. e0317486 - e0317486

Published: Jan. 16, 2025

Tyrosine has been proposed to potentially provide ergogenic benefits cognitive and physical performance in physiologically demanding environments. However research into its effectiveness on during exercise the heat revealed mixed findings. This study examined effects of a commonly employed dosage tyrosine supplementation soccer players' decision-making performance, appraisal, affective states, prolonged high-intensity intermittent hot conditions. Eight trained male players completed 92-minute cycling sprint protocol whilst responding soccer-specific tasks at various time points 32°C (50%rh), two counterbalanced conditions; (150mg.kg-1) placebo. No differences were found for peak power output (p = .486; 715 ± 98W vs 724 98W, respectively), .627; 86.9 10.7% 88.6 7.0%, appraisal .693, 0.90 0.42 0.88 0.39, respectively) nor states .918; 1.15 1.55 1.14 1.70, between placebo Also, no condition by interaction noted these outcomes. In sum, was ineffective facilitating (self-paced) activity, decision-making, alleviating perceptual strain, exercising heat. However, future may wish consider alternative approaches (e.g., timing, dosage) or induce heightened physiological strain extend

Acute fatigue in indoor court-based team sports: A systematic review

PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 20(2), P. e0316831 - e0316831

Published: Feb. 14, 2025

Fatigue in team sports has been widely researched, with a number of systematic reviews summarising the acute (i.e., within 48-hours) response outdoor sports. However, fatigue to indoor court-based is likely differ due smaller playing fields, harder surfaces, and greater match frequencies, thus should be considered separately Therefore, this study aimed conduct review on team-sport, identify methods markers used measure fatigue, describe responses. A search electronic databases (PubMed, SPORTDiscus, MEDLINE CINHAL) was conducted from earliest record June 2023. Included studies investigated either physical, technical, perceptual, or physiological taken before after training, match, tournament play. One-hundred eight were included, measuring 142 fatigue. Large variability methods, timeline measurements present. Cortisol (n = 43), creatine kinase 28), countermovement jump 26) testosterone 23) most frequently examined markers. Creatine displayed consistent trend, increasing 10–204% at 24-hours across There large determine responses Future researchers focus that display high reliability transfer practice. The robustness may increased by ensuring appropriate timescale marker measurement are used. Further research required which combination best describes response.

Journal of Lifestyle and SDGs Review, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 5(3), P. e05922 - e05922

Published: March 13, 2025

Objective: Soccer requires athletes to possess strength and physical endurance, involving running, jumping, occasionally, injury. Injuries stimulate the body's synthesis of anti-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6 creatine kinase, which can influence an athlete's performance. Elevated concentrations kinase impair metabolic system. To avert this, interventions such as cold water immersion are frequently employed. This study seeks evaluate impact on levels, facilitating recovery post-soccer match in female athletes. Theoretical Framework: is based physiological theory, emphasizes role therapy reducing muscle inflammation, fatigue, oxidative stress. It also incorporates molecular response framework, highlighting how Cold Water Immersion (CWI) influences biochemical markers related recovery. By combining these perspectives, research provides a comprehensive understanding CWI’s effects both performance cellular adaptation soccer players.

While motor and technical skills are typically assessed through field-based soccer tests, cognitive usually evaluated in controlled laboratory environments. The Skills.Lab Arena is a newly developed testing training device that enables motor, technical, assessments soccer-specific setting. This study the reliability usefulness of technology. In test–retest design (7 days, 1 month), 31 young players (age, 13.5 ± 0.5 years) performed 10 trials motor-cognitive tests. Absolute relative intersession were determined using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) variation (CV). Bland-Altman analysis was used to assess agreement, mean differences, limits agreement (LoA). A repeated-measures ANOVA applied identify potential learning effects between test sessions. smallest worthwhile change typical error (TE) calculated tests demonstrated good absolute reliability, with ICC values ranging from 0.75 0.89 for time-based tasks 0.71 0.91 accuracy-based tasks. revealed minimal differences acceptable 95% LoA.
