Optimal Performance Factors in Intermittent Sport
- psychomotor skills
- kinaesthetic awareness
- agility
- technique
- flexibility
- endurance
- strength
- speed/power
- anthropometry
- tactics
- mental skills
- nutrition / hydration
Internal Load - Soccer Training
Physiological assessment of:
- anatomical
- physiological
- biochemical and
- functional changes
Specific to the sport discipline/ training outcome
External Load - Soccer Training
- quality, quantity and organisation of physical ex described by external work imposed by coach on athletes
- not appropriate in soccer, training based on group-based training exercises
- physiological stress / internal load induced by such training often varies in individuals
Interval Training - Fixed vs Heart Rate Recovery
- 1 min recovery vs HR less than 120bpm
- average split times fatster for HR recovery (00:40.3s) than fixed recovery (00:44.1s)
Impellizzeri et al., 2005 - Physiological Assessment of Aerobic Training Outcome and Process in soccer
- improves interpretation of physical tests used to verify the effectiveness of training programmes
- evaluate organisation of the training load to design periodisation strategies
- identify athletes that are poor responders
- control compliance of training completed to that planned by the coach
- modify training process before assessment of its outcome, optimising soccer performance
Training Outcome
- a consequence of the internal training load determined by individual characteristics (genetic factors, previous training) and the quality, quantity and organisation of the external training load
Williams 1987 - Multiple Sprint Activities
- sports involving high-intensity or max efforts interspersed with periods of incomplete recovery are termed ‘multiple sprint activities’
Field-Based Measures for Investigating Intermittent Exercise
- notational analysis (video camera) of real life patterns
- portable metabolic analysers (Lactate pro) provide additional info on metabolic pathways behind movements
- GPS characterise actual movements in match play
Lab-Based Measures for Investigating Intermittent Exercise
- models of intermittent ex (not real game play) allow precise prescription of dose of exercise to metabolic response
- lab analysis of venous bloods provide in depth analysis of metabolism
- muscle biopsy provide molecular answers on involvement of metabolic pathways
O’Donaghue and Parker, 2000 - Time Motion Analysis in Premier League
- 38 matches analysed
- work : rest ratio was 1 : 8.9 in total time
- work : rest ratio was 1 : 4.5 in-ball play
McLean, 1992 - Time Motion Analysis in 5 Nations
- all matches analysed
- work : rest ratio 1:1.1-1.9 in-ball play time
- scrum, line-out, ruck or maul occurred every 33s
- blood lactate max values ranged from 5.8-9.8mmol.L-1, suggests large contribution to exercise performance (29/80 min) was largely due to anaerobic glycolytic pathways
McInnes et al., 1992 - Time Motion Analysis in Basketball
- 10±52 high-intensity runs by elite players
- 1.7s = mean sprint duration
- high intensity run every 21s
O’Donoghue and Ingram, 2001 - Notational Analysis of Tennis
- rallies were longer in french open vs all other comps (P<0.05)
- rallies were shorter in Wimbledon vs all other comps (P<0.05)
Cronin and Templeton, 2008 - Infra-Red Timing Gates
- commonly undertaken using infra-red gates
- provide reliable measurements of sprint performance over short intervals (10m)
- offer specificity of field testing to games athletes
GPS
- estimate total work and distribution of work done on the field
- general volume considerations are what type of technology is effective with smoothing out unplanned spikes in loading
- e.g PLAYERTEK
