An understanding of physical demands during official competitions is essential to achieving
the highest performance in handball. The aim of this systematic review was to summarise …

Rapid horizontal accelerations and decelerations are crucial events enabling the changes of
velocity and direction integral to sports involving random intermittent multi-directional …

High-intensity horizontal decelerations occur frequently in team sports and are typically
performed to facilitate a reduction in momentum preceding a change of direction manoeuvre …

The study aims were to describe positional differences in the acceleration and sprint profiles
of professional football players in match-play, and analyse start speeds required based on …

Purpose The aim of this review is to summarize the current scientific knowledge about
acceleration and deceleration demands during football training. Methods A systematic …

Data were collected through time-motion analysis from soccer players participating in the
English Premier League using a modified version of the Bloomfield Movement Classification …

The aims of this study were to:(1) identify the representative external load profile of match-
play in Spanish professional soccer players by principal components analysis (PCA), and …

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced most activities in Italy, including soccer, to
cease. During lockdown, players could only train at home, with limited evidence regarding …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess running load trends (total distance (TD),
high-intensity distance (HID;> 5.5 ms− 1) and sprinting distance (SprD;> 7ms− 1)) in the …

(1) Background: Training load monitoring has become a relevant research-practice gap to
control training and match demands in team sports. However, there are no systematic …
