The effects of active breaks on sustained attention among sports college students
Objective: This study aimed to analyse the acute effects of active breaks (AB) on vigilance among sports college students in Portugal. Methods: Thirty-two students following a sports degree programme (24 males and 8 females, aged 20.7 ± 2.5 years) voluntarily participated in this crossover randomised study. All participants completed a psychomotor vigilance task (PVT), a reaction time task widely used to assess sustained attention and alertness, …
The defensive playing style was associated with match-running performance and team success in the Fifa Women's 2023 World Cup
Introduction Currently, there are no data in the women's soccer literature about playing style without ball possession and its impact on match-running performance or competitive success. The main objective of this study is to verify whether there was a relationship between match-running performance, team success, and playing style without ball possession in the FIFA Women's 2023 World Cup. Methods Twenty-one variables related to tactical and tech…
Effects of physical activity breaks on cognitive function in undergraduate students
Physical activity is known to have several cognitive benefits. As a result, many teachers introduce short bouts of physical activity (active breaks) during their lessons. However, active breaks are less common in the university context, where students tend to remain passive during lessons. Therefore, there is a paucity of literature on active breaks and their benefits for undergraduate students. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 10…
Active Teaching Methodologies Improve Cognitive Performance and Attention-Concentration in University Students
The scientific literature shows a beneficial association between active methodologies and cognitive variables in university students. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between active methodologies in Physical Education and attention and concentration in a group of university students A total of forty-four undergraduate students from Pontifical University of Comillas of the Balearic Islands, Palma de Mallorca, Spain, p…
A Data Analytics Approach to Assess the Functional and Physical Performance of Female Soccer Players
The study followed a cohort design. Sixteen female soccer players competing in the second division of the Spanish league were monitored during the first days of the pre-season. These players were evaluated three times during the preseason of the cohort period. The dataset showed a negative moderate correlation between time and percentage of difference in hip angle and another positive moderate correlation between maximal sprint and percentage of …
Within-Week Variations and Relationships between Internal and External Intensities Occurring in Male Professional Volleyball Training Sessions
The purpose of the study was to test the within-week variations of the internal and external training intensity outcomes organized by days of the week. An 8-month observational period was conducted during the 2020-2021 season. The training sessions and matches of an elite volleyball team were monitored daily. The data comes from 14 players (two setters, five middle blockers, five outside hitters, and two opposites) of an elite team from the Portu…
Exploring the Determinants of Repeated-Sprint Ability in Adult Women Soccer Players
This study aimed to explore the main determinants of repeated-sprint ability (RSA) in women soccer players considering aerobic capacity, sprinting performance, change-of-direction, vertical height jump, and hip adductor/abductor isometric strength. Twenty-two women soccer players from the same team participating in the first Portuguese league were observed. Fitness assessments were performed three times during a 22-week cohort period. The followi…
An Exploratory Data Analysis on the Influence of Role Rotation in a Small-Sided Game on Young Soccer Players
The aim of the present study was to analyze the behavior of players in a standard small-sided game (SSG) according to the role played (offensive (OF), defensive (DF), and wildcard (W)) and its relationship with physical demands (PHYD), technical performance (TP), and internal load (RPE). A total of 24 young highly trained male soccer players (under 16: n = 12; under 19: n = 12) participated. During the SSG, the players alternated the three roles …
Effects of a 10-Week Combined Coordination and Agility Training Program on Young Male Soccer Players
The current literature has shown how working on coordination and agility produces effects on specific aspects in team sports. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a ten-week coordination training program applied to soccer on different tests that evaluate speed (30 m speed test), agility (Illinois Agility Test (IAT)) and lower body strength (countermovement jump (CMJ)). Forty U16 male soccer players from two nonprofessional team…
