Abstract
Match play competitive in team sports requires players to perform actions resulting in frequent intense acceleration and deceleration. Accordingly, these accelerations and decelerations make up a substantial part of the high-intensity external workload, imposing distinctive and disparate internal physiological and mechanical loading demands on players. The aim of the present study is to compare the difference between the load characteristics of five league matches. Twenty-eight (n = 28); (age = 22.0 years ± 5.9) young professional players participating at least five games during their examined period. The observation of the players took place in the five weeks following the changes in their training, which also meant a fundamental change in training stimuli. Data was collected through electronic performance tracking systems (“Catapult Vector”).The combined team-level results [explosive efforts (EE), sprint distance (SD) and high-intensity running (HIR) total player load (TPL)] of the five matches and their weekly differences were compared with the Repeated measures ANOVA with Tukey HSD post hoc method, the level of significance was set at p ≤ 0.05.The characteristics of the three matches following the coach change showed a significant difference. Sprint distance (SD) and high-intensity running (HIR) shows a significant difference between (1–2; 1–3; 1–4); (p < 0.001) matches. The same is true for team-level averages of total player load (TPL); (p < 0.05). The findings of this study provide meaningful information regarding explosive efforts (EE), sprint distance (SD), high-intensity running (HIR) as well as total player load (TPL) profiles of professional football matches.
