To determine and compare the external match load, according to sport class (FT), of footballers with cerebral palsy (CP) during the International Federation of CP Football World Championships Qualification Tournament.
Forty-two international male footballers with CP participated in the data collection. The footballers with CP were classified according to their FT into 3 groups (ie, FT5/6, FT7, and FT8). External match load (ie, total distance covered, distance covered at different speeds, accelerations, decelerations, player load, peak metabolic power, and changes of directions) was collected for both halves during official matches with global positioning system devices.
Players with lower impairment (FT8) covered more distance (effect size = 0.30-0.60) at high-intensity running (13.0-18.0 km·h) and sprinting (>18.0 km·h) and performed more (effect size = 0.29-1.08) accelerations, decelerations, and changes of direction at high intensity in matches than did other players (ie, FT5/6 and FT7 groups).
Because high-intensity actions are relevant to football performance and there are differences caused by players' impairments, the International Federation of CP Football classification protocols should include high-intensity actions during the technical assessment as part of the procedures for determining the sport class of football players with CP.
在国际脑瘫足球联合会世界杯资格赛中，确定并比较脑瘫足球运动员（CP）按运动分级（FT）的外部匹配负荷。
共有 42 名国际 CP 男性足球运动员参与了数据收集。根据他们的 FT 将 CP 足球运动员分为 3 组（即 FT5/6、FT7 和 FT8）。使用全球定位系统设备在正式比赛的上下半场收集外部比赛负荷（即总跑动距离、不同速度跑动距离、加速度、减速度、球员负荷、最大代谢功率和变向次数）。
损伤程度较低的运动员（FT8）在高强度跑动（13.0-18.0km·h）和冲刺（>18.0km·h）中跑动距离更长（效应量为 0.30-0.60），在比赛中进行更多的高强度加速、减速和变向（效应量为 0.29-1.08），而其他运动员（即 FT5/6 和 FT7 组）则较少。
因为高强度动作与足球表现相关，且运动员的损伤程度会导致差异，因此脑瘫足球联合会的分类协议应包括在技术评估中进行高强度动作，作为确定 CP 足球运动员运动分级的程序的一部分。
