SOCCER

Question 1

There are 2 methods used to quantify a players movement profile during a soccer game;

Answer 1

1. time spent performing the action (duration)

2. distance covered during the action.

Question 2

MOVEMENT SPEED IN SOCCER 
Standing - \_\_\_\_\_km/h
Walking - \_\_\_\_\_\_km/h
Jogging - \_\_\_\_\_\_km/h
Running-\_\_\_\_\_km/h
High-speed running-\_\_\_\_km/h
Sprinting-\_\_\_\_km/h

Answer 2

Standing-0-0.6
Walking -0.7-7.1
Jogging-7.2-14.3
Running-14.4-19.7
HSR-19.8-25.1 
Sprinting>25.2

Question 3

The average recovery time between maximal sprints range from ___-___ seconds; players statistically perform a high speed run every 30 secs.

Answer 3

65-75 seconds

Question 4

When it comes to soccer the greatest relevance is that is the fact that game outcomes are actually based on ________________actions.

Answer 4

ANAEROBIC-DRIVEN

Question 5

It should be clear that although the total distance covered during a soccer match is an acceptable general reference, the best indication as to the conditioning of the team is gained by observing the _______________________________.

Answer 5

Total distance covered at high intensities

Question 6

Elite soccer players execute on average , ____% more high-intensity running that their moderately -skilled counterparts.

Answer 6

28%

Question 7

____ and ____ players cover a greater distance than defender (CD and ED) and forwards(f) .

Answer 7

CM & EM

Question 8

______ covered shorter distances than that of any other group.

Answer 8

CD

Question 9

___ did not significantly differ from forwards

Answer 9

External defenders

Question 10

The average HR during the game indicates that players perform at intensities close to _________ (is. 80-90% of HRmax)

Answer 10

80-90%

Question 11

The average estimated oxygen consumption during the game is about ___% of VO2MAX , although estimations are limited by the use of HR to predict oxygen consumption and the interplay between anaerobic and aerobic metabolism.

Answer 11

70%

Question 12

The numerous, brief, high-intensity actions draw on immediate and intermediate sources for sufficient energy. This underscores the need for __________________________ exercise for the promotion of sport-specific metabolic efficiency.

Answer 12

Explosive and high-tension exercises
