Sažetak
The aim of the study was to profile and compare the time-motion, physiological, and neuromuscular responses of both national youth league (NYL) and UEFA Youth League (UYL) matches with those of an experimental game-profile-based training (GPBT) protocol. Time-motion traits and physiological, perceptual, and neuromuscular responses were investigated in 24 male soccer players across 14 matches and 6 GPBT training sessions, for a total of 420 samples. The GPBT had a greater influence on time-motion traits and perceptual responses than the NYL and UYL matches (all p< 0.001). No significant GPBT vs. matches differences were found for mean heart rate (%HR) or BLa (F= 1.228, p= 0.304 and F= 0.978, p= 0.385, respectively). Finally, the GPBT protocol led to greater impairment of the neuromuscular explosive performances when compared to those of the post-match scores (SJ: F= 19.991, p< 0.001 ; CMJ: F= 61.703, p< 0.001). Results identified the GPBT protocol as characterized by relatively greater high-intensity workloads than official NYL and UYL matches, requiring increased demanding efforts. In light of these outcomes, the GPBT protocol can be considered an advantageous training method for elite soccer players, capable of stimulating the physical effort and physiological capabilities required during a match. This approach is favorable when designing a training intervention according to the principle of sport specificity, as it is based on the specific metabolic demands.
