The physiological demands of soccer challenge the entire spectrum of the response capacity of the biological systems and fitness requirements of the players. In this review we examined variations and evolutionary trends in neuromuscular parameters of professional players.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of tactical behavior on physical performance of the three best Spanish soccer teams.

The aim of this study was to identify the external training load (ETL) variables that are most influential on the session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE) during elite soccer training.

The study aims to investigate the effects of circuit training with a core exercise program on physical performance in competitive amateur soccer players.

Following studies were retrieved for this week:

The aim of this study was to compare the weekly training load on a standard microcycle in starters (START) and non-starters (NoSTART) of a sub-elite youth football academy.

This study evaluated the effects of an a short time warm-up consisting of a small number of intermittent high-intensity sprints on explosive muscle strength performance in soccer players and to identify recovery times after performing the sprints. Reliability of a smartphone app for jumping performance was established.

This study aimed to compare the physiological demand between three vs. three small-sided games (SSGs) with (3vs.3WITH) and without (3vs.3WITHOUT) the offside rule, as well as the within and between-session reliability.

This study aimed to quantify the external match loads (EMLs) of a Portuguese U23 soccer team, competing at the highest national level for the age group, comparing players with different starting status throughout a competitive season and specific blocks.

The genetic profile that is needed to identify talents has been studied extensively in recent years. The objective of this investigation was to approach, the study of genetic variants in several polygenic profiles and their role in elite endurance and professional football by comparing the allelic and genotypic frequencies to the non-athlete.
