Application Of An Integrated Metabolic Power Paradigm In Elite Soccer
type: CreativeWork
description: The aims of this thesis were to: 1) to assess whether different frequencies of GPS systems can influence the measure of distance while accounting for different speeds; 2) to determine the differences in energy cost of straight (Cr)- and shuttle-running (Csh) in soccer players vs. marathoner runners by applying di Prampero’s approach; 3) to assess energy cost of straight-running (Cr) in elite professional soccer players in their ecological setting and determine whether changes in Cr can be established; 4) to investigate the average metabolic power (MP) on a soccer-specific test through direct (K4b2, PV̇O2) and indirect (GPS, PGPS) measurement of O2 consumption by di Prampero’s approach and modifying Minetti’s equation of C; 5) to investigate how different systems of play effect soccer outcomes with special attention to high-intensity; 6) to evaluate the existence of significant correlations between physical and physiological performance data on elite soccer database of matches and training sessions. When reviewing the literature, it became apparent that smaller and smaller margins determine the outcome of a game. As a result, highly scientific processes are being developed to help players, managers and sport scientists gain an understanding and advantage in soccer. Through time-motion analysis it has been observed that players perform a multitude of physical activities, that consist of sprinting, turning, stopping and jumping, and the amount of time spent during these actions. Since the introduction of GPS, there has been a rapid uptake of GPS technology within soccer and numerous studies have examined the validity and accuracy of GPS systems to establish the accuracy of measuring physical data. Although faster GPS systems have been validated for team sports, some doubts continue to exist on the validity and accuracy of these. To address this problem, a pilot study was performed to assess the validity of GPS technology using a laser speed gun by tracking the movement…
