ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The aim of the present systematic review was to profile soccer
players' anthropometric, physiological, and physical attributes relative to different …

Over the years, soccer has become more physically demanding; the number and frequency
of high-intensity actions have increased, and these activities are decisive in determining the …

Purpose: Assessing biological maturity in studies of children is challenging. Sex-specific
regression equations developed using anthropometric measures are widely used to predict …

We quantified the acceleration and high-velocity running of elite Australian soccer players.
We hypothesised that high-intensity activity would be underestimated when excluding …

The purpose of this study was to quantify match play intensity distribution in young soccer
players in relation to age, playing position and physical fitness. Distance covered and heart …

The relative age effect (RAE) and its relationships with maturation, anthropometry, and
physical performance characteristics were examined across a representative sample of …

In young athletes, demands of sports are superimposed on normal growth and maturation. It
has been suggested that this causes a temporarily increased vulnerability for injuries. We …

The aim of the present study was to examine, in highly trained young soccer players, the
mechanical horizontal determinants of acceleration (Acc) and maximal sprinting speed …

This study assessed the relationship between peak match speed (PMS) and maximal
sprinting speed (MSS) in regard to age and playing positions. MSS and absolute PMS (PMS …

Background Short-sprint (≤ 20 m) performance is an important quality for success in the
football codes. Therefore, develo** an evidence base for understanding training methods …
