Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated how the perceived wellbeing of young female soccer players (ages 15-17) affects their running performance in terms of distance covered and speed during different time intervals.
- - Key wellbeing factors measured included stress, fatigue, muscle soreness, and sleep quality, which were linked to running performance metrics like total distance and high-speed running.
- - Findings indicated that lower stress and fatigue levels corresponded with better running performance, suggesting that improving player wellbeing could positively impact their physical output in games.
Coaches consider substitute players to be a substantial factor in influencing the outcome of a soccer match. Substitute players are expected to make physical impact on the match by superseding the running output of the player they replaced and are a key tool for managing in-game fatigue and influencing the outcome of a game. This study investigated the physical impact and internal response of substitute players, compared to starting and full-match players.

- The study compares the movement demands of various-sided training games (VSGs) to competition matches for elite youth male soccer players, focusing on total distance (TD) and high-speed running distance (HSRD).
- Data was collected from 29 matches and 22 VSGs using GPS technology, highlighting how relative movement in VSGs was generally greater than in matches for most player positions.
- While some positions showed similar HSRD in specific VSG types, no type of VSG matched or exceeded the peak movement demands found in matches, indicating that additional high-speed running training is needed to prepare players adequately.
