I need primary studies on the topic of periodization in soccer for a thesis paper. Thanks!
Relevant answer
Answer
There are several approaches you can take:
Academic Databases: Use keywords such as "periodization," "soccer," "football," and "training" to narrow down your search. You can also combine these keywords with terms like "performance," "fitness," or "physiology" to focus on specific aspects of periodization.
Journals: Look for specific journals that publish research on sports science, exercise physiology, or soccer-related fields

At least every half day of school day must be sports related !
"The documented history of sports goes back at least 3,000 years. In the beginning, sports often involved the preparation for war or training as a hunter, which explains why so many early games involved the throwing of spears, stakes, and rocks, and sparring one-on-one with opponents."

I studied for two years in a sports technology high school, where we had various sports modules including football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, swimming, athletics, and more. It was one of the best experiences of my life; every day involved engaging in physical activities. We even had extra-curricular hours, so promoting sport high schools is definitely worthwhile.

Studies (e.g., Ötting, Deutscher, Singleton, & De Angelis, 2023) showed that red cards are by far the most meaningful events to impact football match outcomes, and as a team receiving a red card reduces their chances of winning.
Is there study showing that red cards generate psychological momentum ?

Answer
Psychological momentum may be more of an illusion than a reality. Weinberg & Gould's Foundations of Sport Psychology text nicely overviews the literature on this concept in the self-confidence chapter

What is the difference between mixed physical preparation and traditional physical preparation for football players?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Doctor
"Basic physical capacities depend fundamentally on energetic processes and are the physical capacities necessary to carry out physical activities.
The basic physical qualities are: strength, endurance, speed, flexibility.
Strength is the physical quality that allows us to improve the rest of the qualities (speed, resistance, power...). This makes sense insofar as being stronger will allow us to be faster, since, the greater muscle strength, the more speed we can generate and the more resistant we become (the stronger a muscle is, the more resistant it will be to fatigue) or more power we will be able to generate.
According Tudor Bompa In the sports training process, strength exercises should begin that accentuate the participation of the trunk muscles and not so much of the upper extremities. Here it is worth mentioning the importance of starting to work from the first year of childhood with exercises aimed at strengthening the middle zone.
The recommendation to start with strength work is with work with high and systematic loads, since there is no adequate age to start with strength work when the work is not aimed at maximum strength. The beginning of the strength work intended to seek an enlargement of muscle mass would be given by the height growth peak. Prior to this, strength training should be devoted to teaching exercise techniques.
Doing proprioceptive work on the lumbo-pelvic area, together with strengthening and making the central area of the body more flexible, will allow later to develop strength work with greater safety. According to Ozolin NG (1915) "physical preparation is aimed at strengthening the organs and systems of the organism and at raising their physiological possibilities that will guarantee the development of motor qualities." Therefore, exercises with free weights offer a greater training stimulus, emphasizing the work of proprioception, the sense of balance, stability and coordination. In addition, Feigenbaum ensures that so far there is no scientific evidence that systematically applied strength exercises with children can cause acute or chronic injuries. Neural abilities cannot develop if they are not stimulated, which is why coordination and balance work are of great importance at this stage."

Football needs attention. What kind of attention do goalkeepers need in football?
Relevant answer
Answer
Goalkeepers play a crucial role in football, as they are responsible for protecting their team's goal and preventing the opposing team from scoring. In order for them to perform at their best, they need several kinds of attention:
  1. Technical attention: Goalkeepers need to have excellent technical skills, such as shot-stopping, handling, diving, and distribution. Coaches and trainers need to focus on developing and refining these skills through regular practice sessions.
  2. Tactical attention: Goalkeepers also need to understand the tactical aspects of the game, such as positioning, communication with defenders, and reading the game. Coaches should help goalkeepers to understand these aspects and develop strategies to execute them effectively.
  3. Psychological attention: Goalkeeping can be a high-pressure position, and goalkeepers need to have a strong mental attitude to perform at their best. They need to be able to handle the pressure of important matches and make quick decisions under pressure. Coaches can help by providing support, encouragement, and confidence-building exercises.
  4. Physical attention: Goalkeeping requires a high level of physical fitness, agility, and strength. Goalkeepers need to maintain their physical condition through regular training and conditioning exercises.
  5. Equipment attention: Goalkeepers require specific equipment, such as gloves, to help them perform their duties. Coaches and teams need to ensure that goalkeepers have access to high-quality equipment that fits properly and is well-maintained.
Overall, goalkeepers need a combination of technical, tactical, psychological, physical, and equipment attention to perform at their best in football.

Dear Colleagues,
I have a very generic question, more prone to be a discussion. As you know, the number of papers devoted to modular networks (networks with communities or partitioned networks) is increasing. The majority of research is about detection of communities. My curiosity is the following: There are papers dealing with the problem of ranking nodes across communities. For instance, a generic ranking can be obtained as an aggregate form of rankings locally obtained within each community (using some centrality measures). When you aggregate rankings obtained within different communities, you can use for instance "primus inter pares" style. For instance, you can compare nodes in different communities only if they have earned the same rank in their different communities. This is a simple idea and, for sure, not the unique idea. I have been searching for papers dealing with those types of conceptualisation or applications on modular networks but I haven't found very much on this issue. For instance, Something similar is done when they compare teams in different European football leagues (communities) since they have to form "qualification groups" for the final part of the Champions league (across communities). But they use scores obtained within the specific football league. Thanks very much for your attention.
Relevant answer
Answer
Thanks everyone. Anna Cristina Brisola I am trying for it. I have discovered that those types of problems have some significance in information retrieval. In that area, you need to rank pages and results and you need to preserve a certain balance among different clusters. Why? You have to optimise searching results against the lack of knowledge of users' preferences. You must play mixed strategies on different clusters and within the cluster you rank by network centrality. Actually, those problems are somehow met also in the theory of fusion or aggregation of simple one-criterion rankings.

Pawel Chmura , the research in this specific format is not so large as comparing with bigger formats. Nevertheless, the majority of the studies prescribed 1 to 3 min of exercise, with a ratio 1:1 of work-to-rest (Clemente et al. 2014; Little 2009).
Two to four bouts for a total volume of 16 min (maximum) is recommended for this kind of task (Clemente et al. 2014a).
The few studies that analyzed this format revealed a blood lactate
concentration of 9.4 (greater than lactate threshold) and intensities *86 % HRmax (Köklü et al. 2011; Owen et al. 2004; Williams and Owen 2007). No study analyzed the time–motion profile of players in this format. The unique technical analysis carried out on this format revealed a bigger tendency to do dribbles, turns, and headers in comparison with bigger formats (Owen et al. 2004).
Only one study (Owen et al. 2004) compared different sizes of the field in 1 versus 1 format, as far as we know. The heart rate analysis revealed that the biggest areas (75 and 150 m2) increased the beats per minute (bpm) in comparison with the smaller area (25 m2). A difference of 6 bpm was identified between the smaller and the bigger formats.

Hello everyone! I have just started a Master programme in Business Intelligence and I need your help.
I am currently writing my problem statement proposal for my final thesis and I am a little bit confused. My initial idea was that of analysing KPI (key performance indicators) in football, and trying to understand how reliable they are and how much do they reflect reality. An extra idea was that of developing a prototype index that may include different additional factors etc.
After a first contact with my supervisor, he (and then me) realised that it is possible that my thesis will not bring anything new, mostly because there are plenty of infos on the internet regarding my subject. He proposed to investigate more in depth..
There are two ideas that now are running into my head, and I would like to know your opinion.
1. Develop a KPI based on Braveness/courage/(additional synonyms). This may be an interesting subject, especially when defining the variables we should take into consideration. It is a little bit scary so I was wondering if you have any idea on what your path would look like if you were the ones that had to investigate in the matter.
2. The influence a yellow card can have on a player / team / match.
These are the ideas I had to make my thesis more "unique". What are your thoughts? Additional topics (also related to VAR, especially considering that it is a novelty to be discovered) or further considerations are well appreciated.

2) How does parental pressure impact teenage performance and metal skill in football.
Relevant answer
Answer
As a parent, it’s only natural to want to expose your kids to certain activities and steer them in a particular direction. But there’s a line between pushing your child toward a certain sport and being a “stage parent.”
Everyone knows the parent that is trying to live vicariously through their kid and push them to be a professional athlete. They’re typically the ones screaming at refs, coaches, other players or even worse their own child.
Nothing good ever comes from this and it just puts unfair pressure on the child. It’s embarrassing for them and helps build insecurities, as they always envision their parent screaming at them from the stands. It also puts them in a bad position with their coach.
It’s important to remember that the whole point of youth sports is for kids to have fun, be exposed to new things and learn valuable life lessons. There are simple, fundamental skills that athletes learn at the youth level that are taken for granted as the skill level increases.
So when the games revolve around only the best players or the best players are held back from exploring new sports, it hinders the growth that young athletes need.
And when youth sports are clouded by intense pressure, kids stop wanting to participate all together.
Remember, elite skill isn’t the only thing that makes a pro athlete. Passion for the sport plays a major role too; and the quickest way to burn an athlete out is by putting too much pressure on them.
Kids have enough pressures, particularly when it comes to youth sports. It’s important to let young athletes explore new sports, try different positions and learn fundamental skills. After all, keeping things fresh helps to keep them engaged. Let Young Athletes Explore More Options. SEE THIS ARTICLE.

Kicking ability represents the most important soccer-specific skill, since it is used not only in passes, crosses, clearances, and also to score goals.
The ability to kick equally with both the preferred and non-preferred leg leads to an advantage for soccer players, since it increases the number of scoring opportunities. In modern football, this ability is becoming even more important as there is less space and time for players to decide what we do with the ball. In fact, there is positive relationship between player’s salary and ability to use two feet in professional soccer.
However, ball velocity is significantly lower after a kick with the non-preferred leg in comparison to the preferred one.
It’s known that two-footedness can be developed, to some extent, by training. But it would be possible to develop two-footed players in soccer club academys? Why don't we teach our soccer players to use both feet equally well?
Relevant answer
Answer
It is not only possible but totally necessary: that the soccer player have high bilateral motor skills allows their technical executions to be better. This improvement in sports performance leads to a decrease in the incidence of injuries since by optimizing bilateral movement patterns we are avoiding positions or gestures prone to injury.

Uday CH Hasan, I'm sorry if this disappoints you, but there are more than 6,000 citation / referencing systems, with possibly around 2,000 (maybe more) that are of the author-date (i.e., Harvard) type that yours seems to be primarily based on.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you which of those two-thousand or so Harvard systems is the one you are seeking - a system that strikes me as being quite unusual because it combines alphabetic with number sequencing. I wonder, therefore, whether it might be easiest for you to work initially with a "good" author-date system and then add the numbers to the reference list entries at the end.
Whether that works nicely or not might depend on how you indicate citations in the body of your text. If you use an author-date system in the body of your text, the numbers can be inserted into your reference list entries at the end of everything.
If you work accurately, that could be achieved, I suspect, in about 10 minutes (or less) for about 30 reference list entries.
Sometimes doing things manually takes a lot less time and effort than trying to work out how to do things with automation.
Incidentally, I have put an article about referencing under my name onto RG. I'm aware that article is a little outdated by now (e.g., because I refer to the APA 6th, not APA 7th, system of referencing), but it might be helpful.

I want to examine the relationship of various physical qualities (jump height, change of direction, linear sprint, etc.) on agility performance. Because I am interested in the combined effect of these qualities, I am led to believe that multiple regression is the correct approach to take.
I am also interested in evaluating how the relationships of these physical qualities change across age/maturity (my sample is youth soccer players aged 10-17yrs). For example, linear speed may contribute most at younger ages, but become less important as the athletes get older/more mature.
Would this be entering age/maturity as a covariate, or is there another way to examine this question?

However, the responsible organization (Hong Kong Jockey Club) closed down all the branches since COVID-19. There is a short period in between that it was re-opened, and many gamblers grasped the time to go in to refill or retrieval their accounts' money.
Unluckily, under social distancing rule, race course is banned for entry even for horse owners.
As a citizen, I can feel how broken hearts these horse racing gamblers are. And with time of few months, I feel that horse racing is falling out of colour.
Besides, football legends all over the world is closing as well. And bars for alcohol are all closed down by law too.

Creo que hace referencia fútbol profesional, y tendrían que considerarse varios aspectos para vender el equipo como una marca comercial. Por ejemplo, tener la venta de los boletos asegurados (la mayoría ya vendidos por toda la temporada), esto traería una buena venta de productos en el estadio, como las bebidas o alimentos. Si el equipo logra identificarse con sus aficionados, la venta de camisetas y souvenirs estaría asegurada. Gestionar unas buenas ganancias por la transmisión de los partidos, conseguir un buen número de patrocinadores, y que la directiva logre vender sus jugadores a un buen precio, y adquirir a los nuevos a bajo precio. elaborar convenios de colaboración con instituciones deportivas, con el fin de hacer uso de esas instalaciones a cambio del respaldo de la marca del equipo; patrocinar actividades deportivas incluso aquellas que no sean afines al fútbol (es una inversión). Sacar provecho de los jugadores lideres o carismáticos para diversas actividades ya sean altruistas o comerciales. La suma de estos aspectos reo que lograrían hacer sumamente rentable al equipo de fútbol.
En el caso del fútbol amateur, se tendría que gestionar patrocinios, convenios con instituciones deportivas con el apoyo de los padres de familia.

Hey guys! Looking for some statistical advice to anticipate review response.
I have done an intervention with 3 groups, 2 of which are in the intervention and 1 that is control. The 2 intervention groups are completeing sled training to potentially increase sprint performance, but they only differ with training load (heavy vs very heavy). The control group continues with normal practice (another team within the same pro soccer league that does not use systematic acceleration training).
All groups have been divided evenly so that initial sprint performance (mean + CI) is similar, therefore we are using pre sprint performance as a covariate in the ANCOVA. There is only one factor (one time point), therefore One-way.
One of my study questions is whether training with heavy sleds is better than doing nothing concrete (i.e. non systematic acceleration training). Therefore, my question is, would it be statistically appropriate to pool the heavy and very heavy sled groups to answer this question, also considering sample size is only 9 (sled 1) + 9 (sled 2) + 10 (control).
The second study question is whether heavy or very heavy worked better, where a simple independant t-test will suffice.
Opinions?
Thanks for all the help!

Hi Johan!!
In my opinion, the Generalized estimating equation (GEE) method (in SPSS) can be chosen in order to better apply the correct principles of analysis of longitudinal data in clinical trials. Considering that this method was designed to analyze paired and longitudinal data (Liang & Zeger, 1986), and that in your study you have two factors (3 groups and 2 moments of data collection), the GEE seems to be the most appropriate test to be performed. In addition, some advantages of this method contributed to the choice, for example?
(i) the GEE could be applied regardless of the distribution of data;
(ii) the assumption of sphericity between all the different moments is very difficult to be achieved in studies with performance outcomes in humans, and the GEE method does not have this requirement;
(iii) GEE can handle missing data in longitudinal studies under the assumption that such data are missing completely at random;
(iv) using GEE, the possible missing data of any participant will automatically be imputed without the interference of the researchers (this procedure contributes to avoiding the selection bias and the choice of traditional imputation methods in which the researcher could influence the data and results) (Ballinger, 2004; Liu & Zhang, 2006).
So, to test your primary hypothesis, GEE methods show a robust statistic method and you don't need to use other analyses.
I see just now your question, but I hope to contribute to this discussion. If you need a question about GEE, I can help you!
Cheers!

Answer
I agree with Dragan Marinkovic , you should check if your variables are normally distributed. If it is so, you should use unpaired t-test comparison, in your specific case. The difference is quite simple: unpaired t-test is used to compare means that are detected on independent samples, like in your case. Paired t-test is used when you have measures detected on the same sample (pre-post observations) or in samples that could influence each others (mother-son, wife-husband).

2, If I myself look for objects to create AUT, what should I pay atention to? For example, should the heterogeneity of object be noted?

Firstly, I plan to collect AUTs scattered from previous literature, and select the common used objects in Chinese culture (objects specific to other culture will not be used). if 40 have been collected, that is enough, if not, I will search some other additional objects that commonly used in everyday life of Chinese people.
Secondly, to do an ERP study, all the 40 objects have to be used for each participant, I am sure of it.
Thirdly, I also learn the second paper you recommend. I try to access the 420 objects in the paper but receive no email reply. Anyway, this paper is very useful to tell me how to collect objects from everyday life.

Dear Hein,
We cannot ever overgeneralize. As a psychologist, I thing that all things being equal, women are fairer in football (soccer) than men. This is so because of several reasons. Chiefly among them are the following.
1. In principle, men are more competitive that women. Because of this, the satge is set for men to be less fair than their female counterpards in the context you refer to.
2. When compared to men, women tend to me more emotional than men. Men are thought to be more instrument. In other words, when playing football, for example, women are concerned with others' well-being than men are. Because of this, tend to cheat less than men do.
3. It is worth mentioning that, for example, both S. Freud and Carol Gilligan spoke of the emotional status on the part of women and the instrumental status on the part of men.
