Background: This study compared the effects of performing different unilateral combined training interventions on diverse vertical and horizontal jumping performance parameters, change of direction, concentric and eccentric mean power, and their associated inter-limb asymmetries in young soccer players.

Methods: Forty-seven young male soccer players (age: 15.5 ± 0.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzed the physical demands and tactical actions of professional soccer players, focusing on how these factors differ based on game location (home vs. away) and match outcomes (win vs. loss).
  • - Data were collected from 21 male players using GPS and accelerometers to measure various performance metrics, including sprint distance and number of accelerations, while tactical actions were assessed through video analysis tools.
  • - Results indicated that players experienced different physical demands when playing at home, particularly noting increased distances and defensive activities during losing matches, while suggesting that training in tactical actions may enhance team performance and increase chances of winning.

Background: The present study compared the effects of performing the lateral squat exercise in three different formats from eccentric overload training on concentric/eccentric peak/mean power and inter-limb asymmetries in young soccer players.

Methods: Forty-five young male (U-17) soccer players were distributed into three groups. Two groups performed the same training volume with both legs, beginning with the weaker leg (SVW, = 15) or with the stronger leg (SVS, = 15).

The aim of this study was to examine the differences in the physical demands and technical-tactical actions encountered by soccer players between two playing formations (1-4-2-3-1 and 1-4-4-2) for each playing position. Twenty-three professional male soccer players who played 31 official matches participated in this study. Players were classified according to their playing position: central defenders (CD), wide defenders (WD), central midfielders (CM), wide midfielders (WM), offensive midfielders (OM) and forwards (FW).
