This study investigated exposure to periods of match congestion in regular starter players in a professional soccer team across 4 competitive seasons (2009-2013). Players were divided into 2 groups: club players (club match exposure only, n = 41) and national team players (club and national team exposure, n = 22). The frequency of congested periods that players were potentially exposed to per season was initially determined: 2-match cycles - potential exposure to 2 successive matches separated by a ≤ 3-day interval calculated immediately from the end of play in match 1 to the start of play in match 2 occurred on 12.5 ± 5.1 and 16.0 ± 4.7 occasions for club and national team players, respectively. Multiple-match cycles: potential exposure to 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-matches played successively within a ≤ 4-day period commencing from the day after each match occurred on 8.5 ± 2.1, 4.3 ± 1.7, 3.0 ± 0.8 and 1.8 ± 0.5 occasions for club and 11.5 ± 2.4, 6.5 ± 0.6, 4.5 ± 1.9 and 3.0 ± 1.4 occasions for national team players, respectively. With regard to actual exposure in club and national team players, respectively, participation in both matches in 2-match cycles attained 61.2% and 59.3% while 90-min play in both matches was only completed on 38.2% and 40.5% of occasions and ≥75-min play on 47.6% and 50.0% of occasions, despite availability to play in both groups being >86%. While availability to play in all players was frequently >70% for multiple-match cycles, a trend was observed for a sharp decline in participation as the number of matches in the cycles increased. Therefore, the present players were not extensively exposed to periods of fixture congestion.
本研究调查了一支职业足球队的常规首发球员在4个竞争赛季（2009 - 2013年）中遭遇赛程密集期的情况。球员被分为两组：俱乐部球员（仅参加俱乐部比赛，n = 41）和国家队球员（参加俱乐部和国家队比赛，n = 22）。首先确定球员每个赛季可能遭遇的赛程密集期频率：两赛段周期——从第1场比赛结束到第2场比赛开始间隔≤3天的连续两场比赛，俱乐部球员和国家队球员分别有12.5 ± 5.1次和16.0 ± 4.7次。多赛段周期：从每场比赛次日开始的≤4天内连续进行3、4、5或6场比赛，俱乐部球员分别有8.5 ± 2.1次、4.3 ± 1.7次、3.0 ± 0.8次和1.8 ± 0.5次，国家队球员分别有11.5 ± 2.4次、6.5 ± 0.6次、4.5 ± 1.9次和3.0 ± 1.4次。关于俱乐部和国家队球员的实际参赛情况，两赛段周期中两场比赛都参赛的比例分别为61.2%和59.3%，而两场比赛都完成90分钟比赛的比例仅为38.2%和40.5%，≥75分钟比赛的比例为47.6%和50.0%，尽管两组球员的参赛可用性均>86%。对于多赛段周期，所有球员的参赛可用性经常>70%，但随着赛段比赛场次增加，参赛比例呈急剧下降趋势。因此，目前的球员并未广泛遭遇赛程密集期。
