A comparison of internal load between friendly matches and a conditioned game in professional football players

The aim of the present study was to compare internal load between friendly matches (FM) and a small-sided game (SSG) with a tactical component (STG: 6 vs. 6 + 2 neutral players) in professional football players. Ten players were assessed by Heart Rate (HR) monitors in 5 FM and 3 sessions of a SSG. T...

Resumo:The aim of the present study was to compare internal load between friendly matches (FM) and a small-sided game (SSG) with a tactical component (STG: 6 vs. 6 + 2 neutral players) in professional football players. Ten players were assessed by Heart Rate (HR) monitors in 5 FM and 3 sessions of a SSG. The relative internal training load (ITLR) was quantified in accordance with the proposal of Stagno (TRIMP modified/minute). The results showed that the ITLR obtained in FM was substantially greater than in the STG (3.75 ± 0.45 vs. 3.44 ± 0.61 TRIMPMOD/min, respectively). The inter-subject variability in physiological response was similar in both situations (CV: 12.35 ± 4.62% vs. 11.13 ± 2.56%, respectively). Moreover, significant large relationships were found between TRIMPMOD/min obtained in the STG sessions and the values recorded in FM (CC: 0.61 [0.09 a 0.87] and CCI: 0.62 [0.15 a 0.86]). The STG would not appear to be an appropriate training stimulus to provide the players with similar physiological demands to those required in the most intense phases of the competition. The high physiological variability suggests advising against use of the STG to provide the players with a sufficiently unified ITL, to ensure most of them receive an appropriate training stimulus
