Effects of Bout Duration on Load, Sprint, and Jump Ability During a One-on-one Transition Task
This study examined the training load on professional soccer players during
transition games performed with different bout durations and their effects on
speed and jump tests. Fourteen young soccer players played a transition game of
different bout durations: 15 (TG15), 30 (TG30), and 60
(TG60) seconds. Total distance covered (DC), accelerations and
decelerations above 1.0 and 2.5 m·s-2, rate of
perceived exertion (RPE), maximal heart rate (HRmax) and above
90% (HR>90), distance covered between
18.0–20.9 km·h-1 (DC
18.0–20.9 km·h-1),
21.0–23.9 km·h-1 (DC
21.0–23.9 km·h-1), above
24.0 km·h-1
(DC>24.0 km·h-1), peak speed, sprint
profile, sprint, and countermovement jump tests were recorded. TG15
obtained greater DC, DC>21.0 km·h-1, Player
load, Acc>2.5 m·s-2 than TG30 and
TG60 (p<0.01) and
Acc<2.5 m·s-2,
Dec>2.5 m·s-2 than TG60
(p<0.01). TG30 showed more
HR>90 and RPE (p<0.01) than
TG15, and DC, DC>18.0 km·h-1,
Player load, Acc>2.5 m·s-2,
Dec>2.5 m·s-2, HR>90
and RPE than TG60 (p<0.01 and<0.05).
Transition games showed lower sprint and jump results after the intervention
(p<0.01). Bou...
