Fitness profiling in soccer : movement pattern and energy determination.

Soccer is a highly demanding game in which the players are subjected to numerous actions that require high aerobic and repeated sprint capacity, muscular strength and endurance, speed, agility, quickness, and flexibility. Typical actions which are performed by young soccer players during a match can be classified as: 3.1% standing, 53.8% walking, 34% running in low intensity and 9, 0% running in high intensity. Obviously, soccer coaches need to find the best methods that produce specific training effects that can be used in the conditioning of soccer players. Although most of the game is aerobic, the most decisive skills, are anaerobic. Anaerobic energy is essential to perform sprints, high- intensity runs, and duel plays, all of which may contribute to the final result. Speed, agility and quickness training is suggested to enable soccer players to become better at reacting to stimuli, improve acceleration, move effectively in multiple directions and change direction or stop quickly to make a play in a fast, efficient, smooth, and repeatable manner. A team position is highly important in the interpretation of morphological and power performance data because there are specific demands for a specific play position. In this respect, positional role appears to have an influence on total energy expenditure in a match, suggesting different physical, physiological and bioenergetic requirements are experienced by players of different positions.
