Relationship between decelerations and velocity

Approaches and level of analysis of the physical demonstration of professional soccer players. Level 4 (part 7).

Just in order to let you know some of the findings about decelerations in soccer players, I show you these data in which you see the relationship between acceleration and velocity in accelerated and decelerated runs performed with and without ball (in shuttle sprints of different intensity and in small sided soccer games).

During this and next posts, I'll try to comment about different parameters that affect the performance and the load experienced by the players when decelerating.

Hope you enjoy!
