Alexandersen, A., Pettersen, S. D., Johansen, D. “…This study investigated the potential of self-reported wellness data from a player monitoring system and its predictive power of individual match performance among a female professional football player cohort. …”

Otero-Saborido, F. M., Torreblanca-Martinez, S., Torreblanca-Martinez, V., Nevado-Garrosa, F., Nuñez-Campos, M., González-Jurado, J. A. “…Scientific research on tactical formations in football is scarce and the studies that do exist focus on aspects linked to physical conditioning. …”

Rumpf, M. C., Jäger, J., Lochmann, M. “…Variables associated with higher external load such as total distance, total number of sprints, and distances in high-intensity speed thresholds (>14.4 km/h) as well as player load and acceleration variables decreased during CSSG. Little research opposes this idea reporting increased physical demands with the identical variables. …”

Layouni, S., Ksibi, S., Ach, T., Elmtaoua, S., Ceylan, H. I., Ghali, H., Tiss, B., Ajili, M. A., Jemni, S., Muntean, R. I., Dergaa, I. “…Background: Adolescence represents a critical period for growth and athletic development, yet young athletes frequently demonstrate significant gaps in nutritional knowledge that can impair performance and long-term health outcomes. Limited research exists on comprehensive nutrition education interventions for adolescent soccer players in North African populations. …”

Wilmot, K., Dello Iacono, A., Macpherson, T. W. “…There is no research exploring agreement of training load (TL) between players and coaches in female soccer, therefore, we examined agreement of perceived TL between professional female soccer players and their coaches. …”

Castillo, D., Marqués-Jiménez, D., Bertollo, M., López-Flores, M., Bovolon, L., De Fano, A., Pompa, D. “…The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine, consolidate and summarize the research on the effects of various IPPs on injury incidence in youth soccer players. …”

Lipcák, A., Lipková, L., Kalina, T., Michaelides, M., Parpa, K., Paludo, A. C. “…Identified gaps in the literature point out the necessity for further investigation in future research.…”

Alimoradi, M., Alghosi, M., Iranmanesh, M., Moinuddin, M., Relph, N. “…However, there is still a lack of research in this population, especially in female referees.…”

Afonso, P., Forte, P., Branquinho, L., Ferraz, R., Garrido, N. D., Teixeira, J. E. “…These findings reveal a fragmented approach to player monitoring and a lack of conceptual integration between physical, psychological, tactical, and technical indicators. Future research should prioritise multidimensional, standardised monitoring frameworks that combine contextual, psychophysiological, and performance data to improve applied decision-making and support player health, particularly in sub-elite and youth populations.…”

Peek, K., Ross, A. G., Williamson, P. R., Georgieva, J., Andersen, T. E., Meyer, T., Gouttebarge, V., Dahlen, S., Clarke, M., Serner, A. “…However, understanding header exposure during matches and training sessions, as well as comparing header incidence between studies is currently challenging given the lack of standardisation in descriptors, definitions, and reporting methods. This Delphi study aimed to establish a consensus on the descriptors, definitions, and reporting methods for heading in football research to improve consistency and quality. …”

Caicedo-Parada, S., Ortega-Toro, E., Palao, J. “…The evolution in the results of this research showed different trends for the different age groups. …”

Gu, L., Wang, W., Plakias, S., Zhang, S. “…., k-means) to classify teams by playing style and analyse their associations with match outcomes or tactical patterns over a season. Second, research is heavily concentrated on soccer (84%), with limited investigation in other sports such as rugby and basketball, restricting the generalisability of findings. …”

Michel-Kröhler, A., Berti, S. “…. - We report on an experimental procedure that combines the induction of state rumination with a football-specific performance test (e.g., ball juggling) in the context of regular training sessions as a research tool in sport and exercise psychology…”

Springham, M., Singh, N., Stewart, P., Jones, I., Norton-Sherwood, C., May, D., Sharma, S. T., Salter, J., Strudwick, A., Shaw, J. “…Our finding is likely explained by the compromising effect of match-induced muscle damage on maximal neuromuscular performance, limiting CMJ performance. Though previous research reports that NMF can manifest as a change to CMJ movement strategy measures independently of changes to JH (Gathercole et al, 2015), our finding supports the use of CMJ JH measures for signalling match induced NMF in U-18 academy football players.…”

Gualtieri, A., Vicens-Bordas, J., Rampinini, E., Ferrari Bravo, D., Beato, M. “…This scenario requires teams to play more than once a week in national and international competitions [1]. Previous research reported a gradual reduction in training volume as match day approached [2], but limited information is currently available about shorter microcycles` training load distribution. …”

Smith, A., Donnelly, J., White, A., Scobie, N. “…INTRODUCTION: With the growth in professionalism, popularity and revenue in women`s soccer, greater investment is being made throughout academy environments to ensure young players can reach the physical, physiological, and mental demands of the sport. However, limited research at the youth level creates ambiguity when determining differences in physical loading between academy and senior players. …”
