Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Various factors contribute to elite performance and recovery in soccer. Additionally, numerous methods are employed to track and monitor athletes’ performances and their subsequent recovery periods. These methods have gained acceptance in the elite soccer environment; still, practitioners continuously seek to gather appropriate data supporting player-centred decision-making processes to further enhance performance.
While many of these training and recovery methods have been implemented to improve technical and physical performances in acute and chronic periods, there is still a need to optimize athletic excellence and provide practitioners with contemporary methods for data collection, analysis, interpretation and intervention. It is vital that practitioners have up-to-date, useable and applicable information about a variety of techniques so that optimal protocols may be selected and employed according to the needs of differing athletic populations. This Special Issue will supplement the existing body of knowledge providing contemporary research on various aspects of elite adult soccer.
