The effect of altered game formats on team performances during soccer practice can be harnessed by coaches to stimulate specific tactical behaviours. The aim of the present study was to analyse the influence of using (i) small goals [SG], (ii) goalkeepers [7G] and (iii) floaters [7GF] on the dispersion, shape and available space of teams during small-sided games (SSGs). Twenty-four male soccer ...

The aim of the search is to:- Recognize cohesion sports teams in football. two researchers used descriptive approach for its relevance and nature research. total research community included class (C) football coaches northern region, whose number (292) coaches, distributed over (5) governorates, namely (Nineveh, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok, Kirkuk), As main sample, it amounted to (126) trainers,...

Many studies have investigated the kinematics of sports skills with the majority describing the kinematics of the technique or investigating significant kinematic variables that affect performance. Many sports skills are complex three-dimensional movements involving many joints. However, few studies have investigated the relationships between kinematic variables during performance of such skill...

The aim of the present study is to analyse the influence of different large-sided games (LSGs) on the physical and physiological variables in under-12s (U12) and -13s (U13) soccer players. The effects of the combination of different number of players per team, 7, 9, and 11 (P7, P9, and P11, respectively) with three relative pitch areas, 100, 200, and 300 m(2) (A100, A200, and A300, respectively...

The purposes of this study were to examine the effect of between-set recovery duration on physiological responses (heart rate and blood lactate), rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and performance indices of repeated sprint sets (RSS) and to investigate their relationship with aerobic power. Twenty-four young male soccer players (age: 17.4 ± 0.32 years) performed three randomized RSS protocols ...

A rich literature shows that ethnic discrimination is an omnipresent and highly persistent phenomenon. Little known, however, about how to reduce discrimination. This study reports the results of a large-scale field experiment we ran together with Norwegian Football Federation. The federation sent email random selection 500 amateur soccer coaches, pointing towards important role can play in pro...

Abstract The paper presents a computational approach to Availability of soccer players. is defined as the probability that pass reaches target player without being intercepted by opponents. Clearly, model for this grounds on models ball dynamics, movements, and technical skills giver. Our aggregates these quantities all possible passes compute single value. Empirically, our outperforms state-of...

Background. Insufficient movement patterns may expose athletes to injury, so it is vital to recognize and rectify these movement patterns. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to assess the fundamental movement patterns and determine the effect of a four-week FIFA+11 program on functional movement screen (FMS) scores of junior soccer players. Methods. A pre-test post-test quasi-exp...

Brink, MS, Nederhof, E, Visscher, C, Schmikli, SL, and Lemmink, KAPM. Monitoring load, recovery, and performance in young elite soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 24(3): 597– 603, 2010—The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between training load, recovery, and monthly field test performance in young elite soccer players to develop training guidelines to enhance performance. ...
