Use of the external load data for the design of the weekly and monthly training plan
Keywords:
training load, accelerations, decelerations, weekly training planAbstract
The systematic recording and use of training load data with GPS technology are common practice in professional football. The individual activity profiles of the players and their playing position are taken into account in the design of the training program on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Periodization of training load is necessary in order to maintain players’ performance at a high level during the entire season. This is achieved by selecting drills and games with a set number of players and pitch dimensions, in which a selected training load variable is maximized, e.g. a high number of accelerations and decelerations. By recording the individual training load and by setting certain training load targets, players may perform complementary training to achieve their daily or weekly targets.
