“…Interestingly, compared to starters, nonstarters spent significantly greater time above 90%HR max on MD-3, while several external load variables were lower. One might speculate that the smaller number of players in the nonstarters training (~9 vs.~18 in regular training) induces an increase of ball touches, dribbles (Owen et al 2011) and duels (Owen et al 2014). This could increase the internal load due to a higher need for coordination (ball control) and static strength (duels), not reflected by the external load variables that mainly quantify the players' locomotion.…”

Objectives: The aims of this study were (1) to quantify and compare the load of a professional football team's training days and matches and (2) to compare training of nonstarters the day after the match with regular training of starters and nonstarters. Methods: On-field training load during in-season training days (categorized as days before match day, i.e., MD minus) and 3 friendly matches were recorded using alocal positioning measurement system. Results: Mixed linear models showed lower load when training approached match day. Relative to match values (100%), training values for running (52 -20%; MD-4 -MD-1) and high-speed running (38 -15%) were lower than for total distance (67 -35%), and all considerably lower than match values. On average, medium and high accelerations and decelerations during training were more similar to match values (90 -39%). Load during nonstarters training was lower than during regular training for almost all variables on MD-4 and several high-intensity variables on MD-3 and MD-2. Conclusions: The results highlight that acceleration and deceleration measures complement more commonly used external load variables based on distance and speed. Furthermore, nonstarters are potentially under-loaded compared to starters, especially in terms of (high-speed) running.

“…O dispositivo de GPS foi fixado junto ao tórax dos atletas por meio de vestimenta específica. As seguintes variáveis foram consideradas na análise da demanda física: Distância total percorrida; % da distância total percorrida em velocidades entre 0-7,2 km/h (DT1), entre 7,3-14,3Km/h (DT2), entre 14,4-21,5 Km/h (DT3), e entre 21,5 km/h e 25,4 km/h (DT4), similarmente ao adotado anteriormente 27 . Já em relação às acelerações, quantificou-se o total de ações de aceleração acima de 2 m/s² (AC1Ações), e acima de 2,5 m/s² (AC2Ações) e % da distância total percorrida em acelerações acima de 2, m/s² (AC1Dist) e acima de 2,5 m/s² (AC2Dist).…”

Introdução: Pequenos jogos são utilizados no treinamento de jogadores de futebol porque replicam as demandas técnicas, táticas, físicas e fisiológicas num contexto semelhante ao do jogo. Contudo, não se sabe se esse modo de treinamento é suficiente para demandar as especificidades observadas no jogo com relação ao estatuto posicional. Objetivo: Comparar a demanda física de defensores, meio-campistas e atacantes durante a realização de pequenos jogos de futebol. Métodos: Dezoito jovens jogadores de futebol (16,4 anos) participaram do estudo, divididos em seis equipes compostas por um defensor, um meio-campista e um atacante. Realizaram-se seis sessões de coleta de dados constituídas por duas séries de quatro minutos com quatro minutos de pausa passiva. Utilizou-se equipamento de GPS de 15 Hz para coleta das informações. Os dados foram analisados por meio da ANOVA One-way e teste de Kruskal-Wallis, com nível de significância em 5%. Resultados: Observou-se diferença significativa na demanda física de jogadores de diferentes estatutos posicionais. Meio-campistas percorreram maior percentual da distância em velocidades superiores, enquanto defensores apresentaram distância total reduzida, aumento da distância na velocidade inferior e redução na realização de ações de aceleração. Conclusão: Demandas físicas variam durante a realização de pequenos jogos em função do estatuto posicional.Descritores: futebol; desempenho atlético; educação física e treinamento.

“…However, the physical-physiological response of the players in this kind of task is conditioned by manipulating certain variables , such as the number of participating players (Castellano et Rampinini et al, 2007). Nevertheless, MSG could be used by coaches as the main way to improve those technical-tactical aspects (Owen et al, 2014) such as the development of the game patterns of the team. This aim could be limited in those SSG performed by less than five participating players per team because of its lack of specific positions (Turner and Stewart, 2014).…”

This research compared the physical and heart rate demands of three medium-sided games with the same number of players per team (six) but different playing areas throughout four successive working periods. The two games played in relatively larger areas (large and medium) were performed with regular goals and goalkeepers, so the most reduced game (short) was performed without goals. Nine professional soccer players participated in this study. Meaningful differences were found (p<0.05) on the physical demand s in the three proposals, with higher values for the games performed on larger areas: maximum speed: 22.8±2.4, 19.8±2.3, and 17.6±1.8 Km/h; and distance covered/min: 120.5±13.4, 103.4±11.2, and 93.8±11.6 m/min in large, medium and short game respectively. There were no differences on the heart rate responses among them. When the physical demands were analysed during the four working periods, the differences could only be seen in large game (p<0.05). The first periods in this proposal showed higher values in distance covered/min, maximum speed, and distance/h in the speed zones 7.0-12.9, 13.0-17.9, and 18.0-20.9 Km/h, and lower values in the zones 0-6.9 Km/h, demonstrating, throughout the periods, the tendency to reduce the distance at high speed and to increase the distance at lower speed. These changes in the activity patterns, related to the period of exercising, could depend on the dimensions of the playing field, thus showing (2017). Medium-sided games in soccer: physical and heart rate demands throughout successive working periods.
