Lecture 1 : Soccer Player Testing & Monitoring - Real Evidence
Professor Darren Paul
In this lecture you’ll explore soccer specific player testing & monitoring strategies based around real evidence. Then take a further look at the coach & players considerations when it comes to monitoring, plus considering the different monitoring & testing protocols possible.
Lecture 2 : Injury Reduction Strategies in Professional Soccer
Dr. Patrick Orme
This lecture is built around key injury reduction strategies that are currently associated and used within professional soccer. You will then discover the link between the physical stimulus required to keep players healthy and available to train, whilst also finalising this area with key soccer process planning and scheduling.
Lecture 3 : Considerations & Applications of Training Load Management in Elite Soccer Players
Dr. Vasilios Kalaporthakos
In this lecture the considerations and applications of training and monitoring in soccer are discussed further along with the theoretical models surrounding training load management & understanding more about the internal and external methods used.
Lecture 4: Soccer specific monitoring: Weekly microcycle, planning and performance
Dr. Dawid Golinski
In this lecture, we deep dive into load monitoring methods used functionally within the game so that you can explore weekly training microcylces, specific soccer strategies for planning and performance & how you can implement them in your work with your team.
Lecture 5 : External Load Monitoring in Professional Soccer - GPS Tracking
Dr. Xinji Ji
In the lecture, we will examine in more detail, the role of external load monitoring processes in professional soccer and understanding GPS tracking systems.
Lecture 6 : Testing and Monitoring in Soccer: Training & Games
Dr. Berni Guerrero
Understand the difference between testing and monitoring while further looking at the internal and external methodologies used within this particular area. You’ll then explore the practical application of testing and monitoring and how it can be put in place within a soccer specific environment.
Lecture 7 : Soccer Specific Monitoring: Subjective Effort Assessment
Dr. Dawid Golinski
This lecture further examines the subjective load analysis and discusses the RPE or effort assessment from a soccer specific process. We will discuss the monitoring tools approach and wellness monitoring, microcycle planning with more detail, whilst integrating some of the recent literature around the acute versus chronic workload principle.
Lecture 8 : Competitive Soccer Training Microcycle: Structure & Justification
Dr. Adam Owen
This final lecture brings the appliance of science into an applied setting with a detailed case study example in elite soccer. As the flow of the course concludes, we will examine soccer specific training load management within a high-performance setting & philosophy, with specific indicators of injury reduction of risk factors from a player and coach centred perspective.
