• A comparison of match-physical demands between different tactical systems: 1-4-5-1 vs 1-3-5-2 

      Baptista, Ivan; Johansen, Dag; Figueiredo, Pedro; Rebelo, Antonio; Pettersen, Svein Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-04)
      The team tactical system and distribution of the football players on the pitch is considered fundamental in team performance. The present study used time-motion analysis and triaxial-accelerometers to obtain new insights about the impact of different tactical systems (1-4-5-1 and 1-3-5-2) on physical performance, across different playing positions, in a professional football team. Player performance ...
    • Football training specificity - Training individualization within the collective periodization 

      Baptista, Ivan (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-02-04)
      Within the literature, different playing positions present different external load profiles in match-play and are associated with the individual variation in activity profiles. In contrast to detailed information regarding matches, few studies have focused on the training practices in football. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to assess the levels of specificity that different playing-positions ...
    • Position specific player load during match-play in a professional football club 

      Baptista, Ivan; Johansen, Dag; Seabra, André; Pettersen, Svein Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-24)
      There is a rapid growing body of knowledge regarding physical aspects of a football match due to studies using computer-assisted motion analysis. The present study used time-motion analysis and triaxial-accelerometers to obtain new insights about differences in physical profiles of elite football players across playing-positions. Player performance data in 23 official home matches from a professional ...
    • Positional Differences in Peak- and Accumulated- Training Load Relative to Match Load in Elite Football 

      Baptista, Ivan; Johansen, Dag; Figueiredo, Pedro; Rebelo, Antonio; Pettersen, Svein Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-23)
      Quantification of training and match load is an important method to personalize the training stimulus’ prescription to players according to their match demands. The present study used time-motion analysis and triaxial-accelerometer to quantify and compare: a) The most demanding passages of play in training sessions and matches (5-min peaks); b) and the accumulated load of typical microcycles and ...

    • Quantified Soccer Using Positional Data: A Case Study 

      Pettersen, Svein Arne; Johansen, Håvard D.; Baptista, Ivan; Halvorsen, Pål; Johansen, Dag (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-06)
      Performance development in international soccer is undergoing a silent revolution fueled by the rapidly increasing availability of athlete quantification data and advanced analytics. Objective performance data from teams and individual players are increasingly being collected automatically during practices and more recently also in matches after FIFA's 2015 approval of wearables in electronic ...
