This presentation was delivered to defend my MSc research project. The study looked at quantifying the running demands of a single fixture microcycle in football. The key findings were:
✅ The key theme of the session (extensive/intensive) may elicit higher distances within the top velocity zone.
✅ Match performance exhibits the highest running load of the macrocycle. This is significant for non-starters as these players may not be exposed to insufficient loads throughout the week therefore, may require top up sessions to ensure match readiness.
✅ The only noticeable variation in running demands occurred on MD-1, thus questioning the periodisation strategies in place with potentially insufficient variation in load typically associated with existing periodisation models.
