    Professional soccer with high training loads is defined with weekly competition. The purpose of this study was to com pare external training load data of GPS derived variables that preceded a home versus away match. Twenty-two weeks of a national league meet schedule were analyzed, which included 11 home and 11 away matches. Twelve professional soccer players (age, 28.6 6 2.7 years; height, 182.1 6 8.6 cm; BMI, 22.6 6 0.7 kg/m2 ) participated in this study. All matches were monitored using GPSPORTS systems Pty Ltd. The following variables were selected: total duration of the matches and training sessions, high-speed running distance (18–23 km h21 ), sprint distance (. 23 km h21 ), maxi mal speed, body load, metabolic power, accelerations Zone1 (\ 2ms22 ) (AccZ1), accelerations Zone2 (2 –4 m s22 ) (AccZ2), accelerations Zone3 (. 4ms22 ) (AccZ3), decelerations Zone1 (\ 22ms22 ) (DecZ1), decelerations Zone2 (22 to 24ms22 ) (DecZ2) and decelerations Zone3 (. 24ms22 ) (DecZ3). The results indicated that meta bolic power showed higher values at home than away matches [p = 0.047, ES = 0.53, (20.28, 1.34)]. Furthermore, there was a higher value in accumulated external training load that preceded away matches for high-speed running and lower value [p \ 0.001, ES = 20.95 (21.79, 20.10)] for DecZ1 than home matches. In conclusion, external load variables had a higher value in home matches. However, the results showed that high-speed running was higher in away matches, which could be the discretion of the coaches to prepare players for different conditions on the oppo nent’s field.

  • Weekly wellness variations to identify non-functional overreaching syndrome in turkish national youth wrestlers: a pilot study
    Publication . Nobari, Hadi; Akyildiz, Zeki; Fani, Maryam; Oliveira, Rafael; Pérez-Gómez, Jorge; Clemente, Filipe Manuel
    The present study aimed at (i) investigating weekly variations in wellness ratings relative to Hooper indicators (HI): fatigue (wFatigue), stress levels (wStress), delayed onset muscle soreness (wDOMS), sleep quality/disorders (wSleep), and wHI across the full preparation season (PS) and (ii) comparing the aforementioned variables between three periods: early-PS, week (W) W1 to W11; mid-PS, W12 to W22; end-PS, W23 to W32. Ten elite young wrestlers were involved in this study (age, 16 ± 0.7 years; height, 163 ± 4.8 cm; body mass, 57.7 ± 9.0 kg; VO2max, 48.7 ± 1.4 mL/kg−1/min−1 ). Wellness status was monitored daily using the HI questionnaire. The main results were found in W26 (24.2 ± 3.9 arbitrary units (AU)) and W14 (17.9 ± 7 AU) with the highest and lowest wDOMS, respectively. Decreases in wDOMS were reported during the PS. For wFatigue, the highest and lowest values belong to W19 (24.3 ± 3.3 AU) and W32 (16.7 ± 3.9 AU), respectively. In the case of wFatigue, the level increased within the PS. The highest wHI was observed in W19 (88.5 ± 7.7 AU) and the lowest in W32 (72.3 ± 6.1 AU). There were no significant changes between early-PS compared to mid and end-PS, while significant changes were found for mid-PS in comparison to the end-PS. Changes in wDOMS, wStress, and wFatigue were in line with the changes in Hooper’s scoring. All PS daily monitoring results can provide a great standpoint from which coaches can determine wellness status throughout the season in elite youth level athletes. This information can be used to avoid the risk of injury, overtraining, and non-functional overreaching.
