Collective metabolic power exertion in soccer training: Possession game 5x5 (intro and part 1).
Are you ready for more?
I hope you are, because today I start to share with you some more data based on the collective metabolic power concept applied to the analysis of a typical possession game 5 against 5 players, performed by a professional first division spanish soccer team, during an in season competition week, as the last part of a wednesday session (official games on sunday).
As explained in the video, there are two pitches in where 20 players are divided in 4 teams of 5 players each, and they compete all against all during 3 sets of around 4 minutes.
The size of the pitches are 30x30m during the first set, 30x40m during the second set, and finally 30x50m during the third set, and the basic rules are: maximum 2 touches of the ball consecutively by the same player, and a team score goal after ten consecutive passes by the same team players.
Enjoy,
