Training methods and loads in football performance assessment A review
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the sport of soccer, there are different methods regarding the approach of periodization and monitoring of loads and the assessment of neuromuscular performance. This literature review aims to identify best practices and evidence-based strategies for increasing the physical and neuromuscular abilities of players. Method; Study sources and inclusion criteria are: PubMed, Web of Science and ProQuest which were used as sources for collecting data for our investigation. The keywords used were; “Training load”, “Load monitoring”, “RPE”, “Neuromuscular assessments”, “Muscular strength” related to soccer performance in monitoring training load. Studies were selected from the last 10 years and were published in English and Spanish based on our criteria. Results; From No.102 full papers and following a more thorough evaluation, No.48 complete studies were chosen. The list was purged of studies that did not meet the inclusion requirements. Conclusion; In this literature review, we looked at several key elements that influence the improvement of soccer performance. A fuller understanding of the variables that influence the performance of professional soccer players would be possible through a comparison of these data. CMJ height continues to be the most widely used measure for assessing lower extremity strength.
