AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Analysts and coaches in soccer sports need to investigate large sets of past matches of opposing teams in a short time to prepare their teams for upcoming matches. Thus, they need appropriate methods and systems supporting them in searching for soccer moves for comparison and explanation. For the search of similar soccer moves, established distance and similarity measures typically only take spatiotemporal features like shape and speed of movement into account. However, movement in invasive team sports such as soccer includes much more than just a sequence of spatial locations. We propose an enhanced similarity measure integrating spatial, player, event as well as high level context such as pressure into the process of similarity search. We present a visual search system supporting analysts in interactively identifying similar contextual enhanced soccer moves in a dataset containing more than 60 soccer matches. Our approach is evaluated by several expert studies. The results of the evaluation reveal the large potential of enhanced similarity measures in the future.

A new injury prevention program 'FUNBALL' improves cognitive performance of young football (soccer) players: A cluster randomized controlled trial.
Psychol Sport Exerc

Institute of Sport Science, Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany. Electronic address:
The youth football injury prevention program 'FUNBALL' contains exercises requiring high cognitive demands, which are performed concurrently to the training of the respective motor task. This study evaluates whether the program increases cognitive performances of young football players. 1253 football players (aged 13-19 years old) were randomly assigned to either a control (CON) or an intervention (INT) group.

We adapted the percentage intensity approach to monitor accelerations and decelerations allowing players' individualisation. Forty-two players were monitored during four microcycles via global navigation satellite system devices. Raw velocity and time data were collected to calculate acceleration and deceleration magnitudes according to specific starting speed intervals, and the efforts intensities were established as very low (<25% of the maximal effort), low (25-50%), moderate (50-75%) and high (>75%).

The majority of a football referee's time is spent assessing open-play situations, yet little is known about how referees search for information during this uninterrupted play. The aim of the current study was to examine the exploratory gaze behaviour of elite and sub-elite football referees in open-play game situations. Four elite (i.

Background: Soccer boots are produced with different stud patterns and configurations to provide players with extra traction on specific surface types to minimize slipping and improve player performance. Excessive traction, however, can lead to foot fixation injuries, particularly anterior cruciate ligament tears.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to explore the translational traction properties of 5 different outsole configurations moving in 4 different directions across both natural grass and artificial grass (AG) playing surfaces.
The influence of multiple cognitive workload levels of an exergame on dorsal attention network connectivity at the source level.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how performing a cognitive task on a balance board impacts brain connectivity in the dorsal attention network while young adults engage in a soccer ball-moving exergame.
- - Results indicated significant changes in brain connectivity during different levels of cognitive workload, especially in the alpha band frequency, with notable enhancements between regions like the right inferior temporal and left middle temporal gyri.
- - The findings suggest that integrating cognitive tasks with physical activity may enhance brain function and improve decision-making, which can be beneficial for developing personalized rehabilitation strategies.
