Optimizing the soccer players' match preparation is one of the most relevant concerns of coaches for strength and conditioning training. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the effects of three pre-match warm-up structures on the physical condition of male professional soccer players.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Seventeen male professional soccer players (age: 20.9 ± 2.4 years) of one Tunisian Professional Soccer League team participated in this study. Players performed three times a typical pre-match warm-up (WU) [aerobic phase (AE); neuromuscular phase (NM); velocity phase (VL); and ball-specific phase (BS) variating the order of the included phases/exercises: WU1 (AE + BS + NM + VL); WU2 (AE + NM + VL + BS); and WU3 (AE + VL + BS + NM). After each warm-up phase, players completed the following physical fitness tests: linear sprint test, countermovement jump test, 15-m ball dribbling agility test and ball shooting test. Additionally, the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) was registered after each warm-up.
The results indicated significant differences between WU1 and WU3, with better results in the ball shooting test and RPE in WU3. In addition, there were no significant differences in the other variables and between other warm-up structures. These findings could be of great interest for coaches to the strength and conditioning coaches for professional soccer teams in order to improve the players physical performance and perceived exertion.
优化足球运动员的比赛准备是教练最关注的问题之一，特别是在力量和体能训练方面。因此，本研究的目的是分析三种赛前热身结构对男性职业足球运动员身体状况的影响。
本研究共有 17 名来自突尼斯职业足球联赛的男性职业足球运动员参与，他们的年龄为 20.9 ± 2.4 岁。球员们进行了三次典型的赛前热身（WU）[有氧阶段（AE）；神经肌肉阶段（NM）；速度阶段（VL）；和专项球阶段（BS），变化包括的阶段/练习的顺序：WU1（AE + BS + NM + VL）；WU2（AE + NM + VL + BS）；和 WU3（AE + VL + BS + NM）。在每次热身阶段后，球员们完成了以下体能测试：直线冲刺测试、反跳测试、15 米带球变向敏捷测试和射门测试。此外，在每次热身结束后记录了运动员的主观疲劳感知（RPE）。
结果表明，WU1 和 WU3 之间存在显著差异，在 WU3 中，射门测试和 RPE 的结果更好。此外，其他变量和其他热身结构之间没有显著差异。这些发现可能对教练和体能教练非常有意义，以便为职业足球队提高球员的身体表现和主观疲劳感知。
