Because physical demands are surging in football (soccer, USA), clubs are more and more
seeking players who have a high capacity to perform repeated intense exercise. High …

Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) are one of the most common injuries in sprint-based sports.
In soccer, the ability to sprint is key, not only because of its relation to performance but also …

Objective: The study aimed to compare the physiological characteristics and acute fatigue
associated with position-specific speed endurance production (SEP) and maintenance …
