Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze the day-to-day variance of a typical weekly external training workload of two professional soccer teams from different countries. Twenty-nine players from two professional teams from Portugal and the Netherlands participated in this study. The players’ external load was monitored for 7 weeks, by means of portable GPS devices (10 Hz, JOHAN, Noordwijk, Netherlands). Results revealed that match day -1 (MD-1), i.e. the training day before a match, had significantly (p = 0.0… Show more

“…The lack of differences between positions for TD found in the present study are in line with the results found in an observational study that analyzed 30 matches of the Spanish league and champions league [17]. However, they only analyzed the match distances in which players covered 10.000 m, although the same lack of differences were found when considering weekly sessions of training, showing TD covered between 4.500 m to 7.000 m and HSR distances reaching up to 1.000 m per training session [33], which are approximately the weekly mean values reported in the present study for the TDs, however, it was found greater weekly loads for HSR (up to 2416.7 m) in the present study.…”

“…When comparing the TL across different MD-days during a microcycle, it was found that TL was lowest on MD-1 in agreement with previous studies in professional soccer players. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] In addition, there appeared to be a progressive reduction in TL (e.g. HSR distance and TD) from MD-5 to MD-1, which suggests an element of TL tapering in line with previous studies.…”

“…Previous research in professional soccer has typically reported the lowest TL on MD-1 within the microcycle, with variations in loading patterns on the other remaining training days. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Despite the available literature relating to professional soccer players, to the authors knowledge there are no current studies that have systematically quantified the external TL of semi-professional soccer players. Such data would be useful for coaches and practitioners in order to provide reference values for training practice and insight into periodization strategies.…”

“…Game day +1 is devoted to recover from matches, specifically those players who played ≥60 min, while players who played ≤30 min perform a compensatory training session. This figure presents published data from teams in the Netherlands and Portugal (Clemente et al, 2019a), game day +3 and game day +4 are the most important days in terms of external TL whereas an important reduction in external TL is programed for game day −1.…”
