Quadriceps and hamstring muscle EMG activity during a football match
2012
Roudi Kalema (2012). Quadriceps and hamstring muscle EMG activity during a football match. Department of Biology of Physical, University of Jyvaskyla. Master’s Thesis in Exercise Physiology. 58 pages. Fatigue represents a reduction in the ability of muscle to generate force and in the context of football, it has been often related with injury. Surface electromyography is a valuable technique for evaluating muscle activation and fatigue but it has never been applied during a football match. The development of washable textile electrodes has opened up possibilities to investigate muscular activity in non-laboratory settings, without skin preparation and wires hanging around the body. It has a…
Ātruma īpašību attīstīšana futbolistiem 9-11 gadu vecumā
2022
Kvalifikācijas darba nosaukums: “ Ātruma īpašību attīstīšana futbolistiem 9-11 gadu vecumā”. Sporta spēles mūsdienās prasa no spēlētājiem ne tikai augstu tehnisko, taktisko un psiholoģisko sagatavotību, bet arī izcilu fiziskās sagatavotības līmeni. Futbols nav izņēmums – ātruma, spēka, izturības, koordinācijas, lokanības īpašībām jābūt augstā līmenī. Tieši ātruma īpašību attīstīšana ir svarīgs faktors vispusīgās fiziskās sagatavošanas procesā. Darba autors analizējot teorētisko bāzi un praksē strādājot ar 9-11 gadu vecumoposma futbolistiem, izstrādāja vingrinājumu kopumu ārtruma īpašību attīstīšanai, ko pielietoja treniņprocesā, testēja futbolistus un veica analīzi. Kvalifikācijas darba aut…
The role of leadership in a national team’s success
2022
Every elite football team wants to maximize their success. Especially in international football, smaller footballing countries need to perform well as underdogs when pursuing qualification to the group stage phase of international tournaments. With limited player options, development of leadership within the team might be one solution to achieve better results. The purpose of this study was to find out team members’ perceptions on what kind of leadership behaviours and leadership structures occur in a men’s football national team participating in the UEFA Euro 2020 and how those are connected to the team’s success. Due to the precise nature of the target sample, we applied a qualitative app…
Adherence to an Injury Prevention Warm-Up Program in Children’s Soccer : A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial
2021
This study examined the impact of high adherence to a neuromuscular training (NMT) warm-up on the risk of lower extremity (LE) injuries in children’s soccer. Twenty U11–U14 youth clubs (n = 92 teams, 1409 players) were randomized into intervention (n = 44 teams) and control (n = 48 teams) groups. The intervention group was advised to perform an NMT warm-up 2 to 3 times a week for 20 weeks. Team adherence, injuries, and exposure were registered throughout the follow-up. Primary outcomes were the incidence of soccer-related acute LE injuries and the prevalence of overuse LE injuries. Intervention teams conducted mean 1.7 (SD 1.0) NMT warm-ups weekly through follow-up. The seasonal trend for a…
Possession Zone as a Performance Indicator in Football. The Game of the Best Teams
2017
Possession time in football has been widely discussed in research but few studies have analyzed the importance of the field area in which possession occurs. The objective of this study was to identify the existence of significant differences in the field zone of ball possession between successful and unsuccessful teams and to acknowledge if the match status modulates the possession model. To this end, 2,284 attacks were analyzed corresponding to the matches in the final phase of the UEFA Euro 2016 France, recording possession time and field zone in which possession occurred. Video recordings of matches were analyzed and coded post-event using notational analysis. We have found that successf…
Referee Bias in Professional Football: Favoritism Toward Successful Teams in Potential Penalty Situations
2020
Past studies have indicated that multiple factors may influence sport referees' decisions, such as pressure from spectators and athletes' reputation. Grounded in the social impact theory framework, this study examined whether Norwegian Premier League (NPL) referees are biased by a team's success when awarding penalties. Using video footage (similar to video assistant referees), an expert panel (EP) of four NPL referees evaluated all potential penalty situations (N = 43) involving either of two successful teams during an entire NPL season. Fifty-five potential penalty situations from matches without successful teams were also rated. Overall, the match referees identified 73.3% (22 of 30) of …
Muscular Strength Imbalances Are not Associated with Skin Temperature Asymmetries in Soccer Players
2020
Although strength imbalances using isokinetic dynamometer have been examined for injury risk screening in soccer players, it is very expensive and time-consuming, making the evaluation of new methods appealing. The aim of the study was to analyze the agreement between muscular strength imbalances and skin temperature bilateral asymmetries as well as skin temperature differences in the hamstrings and quadriceps. The skin temperature of the anterior and posterior thigh of 59 healthy male soccer athletes was assessed at baseline using infrared thermography for the identification of hamstrings-quadriceps skin temperature differences and thermal asymmetries (>
Possession in Football: More Than a Quantitative Aspect – A Mixed Method Study
2019
The aim of the present study was to identify and differentiate the factors that determine the possession times of successful and unsuccessful elite football teams, with the purpose of identifying a more effective possession model. For this, match corresponding to the round of eighth-finals, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the 2016 UEFA Euro France in which 2,636 offensive sequences occurred, were analyzed. Video recordings of matches were analyzed and coded post-event using systematic observation. The performance indicators recorded and analyzed were: phase; match period; type of start-up; interaction context; intention; field zone; possession time, passes, attack outcome; match st…

Posługa kapelana w klubie piłkarskim
2018
Sport w ostatnim czasie staje się nieodłączną częścią kultury, a organizacje różnego rodzaju imprez sportowych przyciągają tłumy. Na współczesnych sportowcach rywalizujących o najwyższe cele wywiera się coraz większą presję wyniku. Jest to bardzo widoczne w klubach piłkarskich. Zawodnicy potrzebują wsparcia psychicznego, ale też tego, które płynie z wiary w Boga. Dlatego przy wielu piłkarskich klubach w Polsce istnieje instytucja kapelana. Jest nim ksiądz, który zazwyczaj sam jest zagorzałym kibicem, a poprzez swą posługę pastoralną potrafi przybliżyć Boga piłkarzom, działaczom i kibicom.
