Game basic analysis with Di Prampero approach to metabolic power

Approaches and level of analysis of the physical demonstration of professional soccer players. Level 6 (part 4).

We continue this week with Di Prampero approach to metabolic power analysis, looking at the comparison between the mechanics of running on a slope surface at constant velocity and an accelerated level run. This basic approach to the issue is then applied to the analysis of italian professional soccer games, and just gives us a basic comparative on the implications of doing the analysis with a traditional velocity and distance approach, in which there is a little % of total distance ran of higher intensity (velocity), or with the metabolic power approach, in which the % of higher intensity performed by the players is much more elevated.

All the graphs and information has been used with permission of the authors, and it comes directly from the Colli's group, in Italy, who are doing a really great effort in giving a different view of the issue of specific conditioning.
