Amateur vs professional collective conditional exertion in soccer games

Approaches and level of analysis of the physical demonstration of professional soccer players. Level 7 (part 9).

And following the last post, in which we analyzed the collective conditional demonstration of professional soccer players during a pre-season game, based on the metabolic power approach, today I want to present you that same analysis, but done during an amateur in-season soccer game (a derby!).
Fortunately, players and staff agreed to go on with the game monitoring, in order to get some insight of their conditional performance, and how to use this information to modify some methodological characteristics of their training sessions.

Remember that in this video you are going to see the data of the first time of each game (am-pro).

After the analysis, you will see that, in this case, the basic difference in the collective conditional demonstration between amateur and professional soccer players is the interval time during which they are able to maintain a higher collective conditional exertion, that in professional soccer players is higher as an average.
Also, and directly related with it, professional soccer players show a higher amount of total time of higher collective conditional exertion during a game.

How to use this data: this is the key question! My proposal is that it depends on the target of the specific task used on training session: if the main target is developing the conditional structure of the players, then probably is more interesting to use lower interval durations, while if the main target is on tactical development, then probably is better to use longer interval duration on the specific tasks ...

There are more aspects to handle for a better use in the specific tasks programming, but this is another issue ...

Hope you enjoy!
