Training Load and Recovery in Football – XXVIII Convegno Nazionale AIPAC
Background
The research is oriented to understand and analyze different ball exercises (SSG) with wildcard players (WP) that are carried out during the training sessions (Castellano et al.,2016; Sanchez-Sanchez et al.,2017,2018).
Aims
The aim of study is to analyze two SSG formats with WP and goalkeepers (GK).
Methods
N°12 professional soccer players (24.7±3.9years, 78.4±4.2kg, 182.9±4.5cm) performed 5vs5+2GK+6WP (Fig.1) and in 6vs6+2GK+6WP (Fig. 2) (60x35m) and were monitored with GPS (GPEXE® SYSTEM, EXELIOsrl, Udine, Italy) at 18.18Hz during 4×3′(Rec. 1′). The parameters analyzed were: total distance, maximum speed, maximum power, distance at moderate (14.50-19.90km/h) and high intensity (19.90-25.20km/h), distance at high (20-55W/Kg) and at maximum power (>55W/Kg).
Results
The results show that 5 vs 5 + 2 GK + 6 WP produces higher values in the maximum speed (26,3±1,1 vs 23,1±0,8; p<0.0005), maximum power (86,6±13,1 vs 71,1±10,6; p<0.0005), distance at moderate (302,3±59,8 vs 221,5±75,8; p<0.01) and high intensity (92,2±21,1 vs 33,3±22,1; p<0.0005), maximum power (34,6±7 vs 11,3±8; p<0.0005) than 6 vs 6 + 2 GK + 6 WP. No significant differences were detected for total distance (1658,4±101,7 vs 1603,8±178,5) and distance at high power (420,9±45,6 vs 355,2±104,9).
This study is the first one that has been concerned with analyzing the external load imposed by the 5vs5 and 6vs6 formats with 6WP and GK. The results show that the 5 vs 5 WP produces significantly higher values compared to 6vs6, showing that in terms of intensity they are completely different.
