“…Significant associations were found between CMJ, muscle soreness, stress, sleep quality and fatigue after the last match of the championship in the U16 category. To date, numerous studies have shown how these variables directly influence the player's performance and the possibility of suffering an injury (Huggins et al, 2019;Romero-Moraleda et al, 2020). However, the context in which this study is carried out shows how the increase in fatigue, muscle soreness and stress were significantly more relevant after the three matches were played.…”

“…However, the context in which this study is carried out shows how the increase in fatigue, muscle soreness and stress were significantly more relevant after the three matches were played. This could be explained since the accumulation and congestion of matches has been associated with the influence on well-being, fatigue and performance (Huggins et al, 2019;Maughan & Swinton, 2020), which seems to have more preponderance in young players and players with a lower competitive level (Rampinini et al, 2011;Romagnoli et al, 2016).…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of playing several friendly matches on consecutive days affects neuromuscular fatigue evaluated with countermovement jump (CMJ), session rate of perceived effort (sRPE) and wellness in young male soccer players. Participants: Forty-four young male soccer players from Under 16 (U16) (N= 23; age: 14.70 ± 0.48 years) and U19 (N= 19; age: 17.63 ± 0.52 years) participated in this study. Method: The evaluation of CMJ and Wellness was carried out pre-and post-match. sRPE was recorded 30 minutes after the end of each game. Effect sizes (ES) were calculated using Cohen’s and statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: [U16 group]: differences between CMJ values after the last match and first (p < 0.001) and second (p < 0.001) matches. Differences in fatigue, soreness and stress (p<0.05) were observed. [U19 group]: Differences in CMJ were observed when baseline values were compared with post-match values (p < 0.001) and also when the last match were compared to the first (p < 0.001) and the second (p < 0.001) matches. We only noticed differences between the second and third matches were observed in sleep, stress and humor variables (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In this scenario of competitive tournaments in young players, it is important for fitness coaches to propose practical solutions for reducing the accumulation of fatigue, since this could influence the state of well-being and physical performance of players, and the possible increase on injuries.
