Training and match analysis

This research line aims to analyze internal and external training and match loads in football players of different competitive levels, genders, and age groups across various leagues, while also considering technical and contextual factors. More specifically, it seeks to compare training exercises with match-specific situations and to develop training strategies that enhance their specificity and compatibility.

Most Intense Period (MIP)

Research focused on identifying and analysing the most demanding passages of play in football matches, quantifying peak physical outputs such as distance covered, accelerations and metabolic power within short time windows to better understand the maximum match demands placed on players.

Transition Games

Research examining game situations characterised by rapid transitions between attack and defence, analysing the physical, tactical and decision-making demands that occur immediately after ball possession changes in football.

High-Intensity Actions Analysis

Research dedicated to the identification and analysis of high-intensity football actions, including sprinting, accelerations, decelerations and explosive movements, to understand their frequency, distribution and contribution to match performance.

Top-ups

Research exploring the use of additional training stimuli performed outside regular team sessions, designed to compensate for reduced match exposure or training load in certain players and ensure appropriate physical conditioning across the squad.

Starters vs. Non-starters

Research analysing the physiological, physical and training load differences between players who start matches and those with reduced playing time, with the aim of optimising training strategies and maintaining squad readiness throughout the season.
