Athletic performance levels across biological maturity status in youth soccer players
Introduction Biological maturation can produce substantial inter-individual variability in physical performance among youth soccer players. However, whether its influence differs in magnitude across physical domains has been little examined within a testing battery. Methods Forty-four youth male soccer players (13.12 ± 1.75 years; U13-U16) were assessed for countermovement jump (CMJ) height, lower limb peak power, sprint speed over 10 and 30 m (r…
The exploration of immune system function changes in marathon athletes after high-intensity training by Agent-Based Model
Background Marathon running imposes substantial metabolic demand. While the acute effects of exercise are well-documented, the chronic immunometabolic alterations associated with intensified training blocks in elite populations remain characterized by complex, non-linear dynamics. Contemporary debates persist regarding whether post-exercise lymphopenia represents immunosuppression (the “open window”) or a functional redistribution of immune effec…
Match-day peaks and post-match compensation
Introduction Recent evidence indicates differences in training and match loads between starters and non-starters in women's soccer, but little is known about players in Brazil's elite leagues. This study aimed to compare the external and internal loads of professional women's soccer players classified as starters and non-starters during training sessions and matches. Methods Twenty-nine players from a professional team competing in the Campeonato…
The effect of relative pitch size on physiological, physical, technical and tactical variables in small-sided games

The Effectiveness of New Digital Technologies in Increasing Physical Activity Levels and Promoting Active and Healthy Ageing
Active healthy ageing (AHA) is a goal that several world organisations promote and is essential for modern societies where the average age is increasing. Physical activity (PA), including exercise, is a central aspect of achieving this goal, even though a high percentage of the population has high levels of sedentariness and low levels of PA. Therefore, this narrative review aimed to summarise and critically evaluate the existing literature that …
Physical predictors for retention and dismissal of professional soccer head coaches

A Novel Approach to Training Monotony and Acute-Chronic Workload Index
Load is a multifactorial construct, but usually reduced to parameters of volume and intensity. In the last decades, other constructs have been proposed for assessing load, but also relying on relationships between volume and intensity. For example, Foster's Training Monotony has been used in athletes' load management simply by computing mean weekly load divided by its standard deviation, often multiplied by session rate of perceived exertion. Mea…
