Recent research identified that the behaviour of players and teams varies depending on the match context affecting the players' technical performance. Due to the high context variability of a soccer game, understanding the characteristics of technical performance in soccer can enable coaches to make better decisions. The present study aimed to eval...

The current brief research report aimed to investigate the influence of contextual variables on peak running performance in male elite soccer players. We analyzed matches of an elite soccer team during the Brazilian Serie A 2019. Twenty players were tracked using GPS units. Peak physical performance was determined using moving average running value...

Em um país de variações climáticas significativas, como Brasil, a prática do futebol pode ser afetada devido ao aumento na temperatura corporal. Por isso, é necessário saber a influência do estresse térmico no desempenho de jogadores em uma competição como o campeonato brasileiro. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar efeito da temperatura ambiente sob...

Elite athletes are reportedly more resistant to mental fatigue and are less negatively influenced by pre-induced mental fatigue. However, such evidence has not been verified in the context of open sports, such as football. This study investigated the effects of pre-induced mental fatigue on tactical behaviour and performance among Brazilian male el...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of contextual variables on running performance in Brazilian professional soccer players. Twenty male players from one club participating in the 1st Division of the Brazilian soccer championship were analyzed during 35 matches. Global Positioning System was used to determine total distance covered, distanc...

Backgroundː Soccer performance can be analyzed by different physical parameters such as linear speed and power. In addition, movement quality evaluations are used to assess individual functional capacity and a widely used tool is the functional movement screen (FMS). Objectives: The present study had three aims: 1) analyse the association of FMS fi...

Objectives: To evaluate trunk extensors and flexors muscle strength according to age and physical activity level, in addition to comparing inactive young women with active older women on maximal trunk strength. Methods: Twenty-eight young and thirty older women physically inactive participated in the research. They became active later, with the inc...

A new technology (BlazePod™) that measures response time (RT) is currently on the market and has been used by strength and conditioning professionals. Nevertheless, to trust in the measurement, before the use of a new device to measure any outcome in the research or clinical setting, a reliability analysis of its measurement must be established (Ko...
