Over the past few decades, performance analysis has started to become a lot more predominant in the game and is the fastest growing area in soccer. The reason for this is that match analysis is a vital part of players and coaches learning. It has been found (Franks,1997) that performance is improved by getting task related feedback. It can be provided before, during or after a performance to either the team or a player. Furthermore, (Hughes, 2004) found that feedback is a vital part of coaching and is needed when educating both players and coaches Hughes et al. (2012). Physical analysis is an important part of match analysis as it allows soccer clubs to prevent injury, to look into which players are working the hardest and also what positions …show more content…
However the players positions can be a big factor and what type of prerequisites are required. A full back will generally need to be fast, have a good cross and will also need a high aerobic capacity. Over the past few years the demands in soccer have become much greater, more so in certain positions. It was found that High-intensity running distance increased in the final season (2012-13) versus the first season (2006-07) in all playing positions with full backs displaying the greatest increase (36% higher in 2012–13) Bush et al. (2015). Football is a high intensity, intermittent sport which means that players do a lot of walking, jogging and high intensity running. The thing that influences these the most is that the distance players cover within the game can vary a lot depending on their playing position. Midfield players tend to run more at slow speeds compared to forwards and defenders, however there is no difference between the different positions when you compare the distance covered at high speed …show more content…
However, players that played in a 4–5–1 generally made less very high-intensity runs when their team was in possession with the ball although they made more very high intensity runs when their team was not in possession. The biggest difference is that the study found that attackers in a 4–3–3 made 30% more high intensity runs compared to attackers in 4–4–2 and 4–5–1 formations. Another finding was that the formations 4–3–3 and 4–4–2 were generally physically demanding on players than a 4–5–1 formation. This could be because there are more players that have a defensive role in this formation which therefore means they are occupying a smaller area of the pitch. This can therefore have a negative impact on the amount of high intensity runs during a game Bradley et al. (2011). This is because towards the end of a match high intensity running distance is reduced and temporarily after intense periods (Mohr, Krustrup and Bangsbo, 2003). The opposition’s formation and tactics can also affect the amount of high intensity runs covered. This can be down to a team set up, for example, if the opposition are sitting back then this can lead to having fewer high intensity runs. Formation can also have an effect on high intensity runs. A study was conducted which found that when a team was in possession against a 4-4-2 formation compared to a 4-2-3-1 formation players in total covered a greater

The two main component of fitness used extensively in football is cardiovascular and muscular endurance. Cardiovascular endurance is mainly focused on the respiratory system and it determines how effective your heart is in pump blood and oxygen to the muscles. It also focuses on what level your heart rate is at (bpm) and how much oxygen you physically need when playing sports. Muscular endurance mainly focus on the muscular system and it determines how long you muscles can be physically working for, at both lower and higher intensities, when playing a sport. It is the speed which your muscles take to tire and fatigue. In football, you are having to constantly running around the pitch to either receive passes, create space, run back to your
Imagining myself as a high school soccer coach, I would like to optimize my team’s kicking performance. Some players consistently kick the ball successfully with the correct use of power and accuracy. To ensure that all players are able to achieve the same optimal kicking habits, this paper will document (1) the effective and ineffective habits of kicking, (2) describe biomechanical based kicking assessments, (3) describe how these assessments will measure the effective aspects of kicking and expected findings, and (4) provide suggestions on how I may modify programming based on the insights gained from these assessments.
Hours before a match, athletes in all corners of the world tend to freak out due to all the psychological factors that accompany performance in sports. Stop for a quick second and imagine becoming a Manchester United Striker or a Denver Broncos Wide-Receiver. For those who did not know already, these two positions are among the hardest in the sports world to play. Not only must the person assigned to these positions stay up until the early hours of the morning studying plays and formations so they might better assist their team come match day, but they also act as the main way the teams they play for get any points. If the expectation of being the team’s top scorers isn’t enough, they must also act as an inspiration to every other teammate that plays alongside them. Even though most people say psychological factors have no effect on an athlete’s performance in sport, athletes are negatively affected by the psychological aspects because of pre-game jitters they may experience, the relationship each athlete has with the stadium crowd, and the toll each match has on the athletes’ bodies.
Though this movie was made to portray the life in Korea 110 years ago, it really resonated with me because I found it very similar to life in present-day Nigeria—where I am from. The impoverishment of the people and the clear distinction in the social classes was all too familiar. I also observed similar customs as well as unity of the people through a sport. This paper would be addressing the similarity and some of the factors in the movie that I could really relate to or have personally experienced.

Even though football and soccer often share a name, the two sports are vastly different: they both contain their own merits though; each has its own athletes, rules, and fan base. Athletes in both sports are incredibly fit and in control of their bodies although they can differ. In soccer, all positions require speed, agility, and leg dexterity in order to out run their opponent and maneuver the ball while in football the variety of positions require different attributes. Height is only beneficial in soccer for some defenders and mid-fielders in order to gain an advantage to jump for heading while it can act to slow attackers who need speed and quickness above jump height. Speed, in both running and ball control, is required above all else to chase or lose the other team. To wrestle control of the ball from opponents, defenders in soccer must simply be stronger than the lightweight sized attackers. Only goalies need hand-eye coordination while the rest of the team needs only foot finesse. In football the many positions require their own set of needs. Quarterbacks must be tall to see the field over the lineman and have a good arm to throw the ball. Lineman must be as large and strong as possible to block or move the opposing line man. Runningbacks need speed and quickness to out run and dodge while having enough strength to break tackles and hold on to the ball. Receivers are similar except that they also need hand-eye coordination to catch passes and height to outreach the defense. Linebackers must be the most versatile, with strength to take down ball carriers and a combination of speed and coordination to keep up with receivers. Defensive backs need to keep up with receivers to stop passes. Mentally, it is demanded that players...
During practice optimal motivation and excitement need to be given to players to not only insure they progress in their skill aptitude, but also to make the environment fun, creative, and innovative for all athletes involved. Martens specifically describes the “flow experience” as an “optimal” time where players aren’t too anxious or under motivated to perform (Martens, 108). Coaches can heed this advice by planning light, medium, and intense exercise drills, changing the modes of exercise, changing the environment, or through utilizing the teaching principle called the “games approach” (Martens, 154). If the “games approach” is used then the monotony of training will decrease because fun tactical activities based around in game situations will be used instead of repetitive technique drills that often bore players and inspire them to quit a sport early in season. Shaping of play with different teammates or rules, focusing of play through freeze play drills, and enhancing play through different techniques are all effective ways to utilize the games approach to improve tactical sport awareness (Martens, 156). For instance, instead of practicing soccer free kicks repeatedly, the players could do 3 on 3 games utilizing half of the field, they could limit the game to midfield and freeze at times to see whoever gets the most
Soccer has a high significance in building strength, health, and endurance (“Soccer Health Benefit”). To be able to soccer a goal onto the other side, one must be able to run and kick the ball. These two gestures in turn build the persons strength and cardiovascular health. When I stopped playing soccer in my transiti...
Not much is known about the origin of soccer. However, the Greeks and Romans played football and ball kicking games. The London Football Association developed the first sets of rules in 1863. British sailors and settlers brought the game to India, South America and Europe.
Gaelic football place a range of demands on players who must possess the necessary fitness to cope. The fitness requirements for Gaelic games are multifactorial. (Collins K). Speed and agility are important characteristics in winning possession and evading opponents and for chasing opponents in possession of the ball. Endurance and
Urban Neglect and Its Consequences In Melanie Rae Thon’s Xmas, Jamaica Plain, the narrative develops in a way that particularly highlights societal neglect, bringing to light the harsh realities endured by those existing on the outskirts of society. Through the view of the protagonist and Emile, Thon shows a darker side of urban life, making the readers think about the consequences of systemic failures. Despite the attention gained by its portrayal, the story is commonly viewed as lacking hope or redemption, serving as a difficult yet true reflection of the consequences of societal neglect.
Soccer is a sport that is all about motion and how to use movements most effectively. Speed and velocity are very important when it comes to motion because with out them there would be no motion. When playing soccer speed is essential to being a productive player. The game is fast paced and so the players must also be quick on their feet. Soccer players may not know that velocity is essential to being able to control their movements. But physics proves that both are essential to soccer. Speed and direction are b...
due to the nature of the game and the fact that there is continuous movement with lots of short bursts of more intense activity. Some positions require higher levels of anaerobic fitness than others, some. require more aerobic fitness. A midfield player is required to cover a lot of ground during a game and needs a good aerobic engine. A striker on the other hand requires short bursts of repeated activity and requires more speed and anaerobic fitness.
In game play, players make an effort to create goal scoring occasions through individual control of the ball, such as dribbling, passing the ba...
