Kinetic analysis of change of direction simulating a defensive action in soccer players with and without acute fatigue

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: ) trials. The results indicated a decrease in braking time (p = 0.01), impulse associated with the braking phase (p < 0.01), and impulse during body weight lifting (p = 0.01) under acute fatigue conditions. These changes suggest that, under acute fatigue, soccer players may not decelerate sufficiently in the initial direction of the run and may raise their body less in the first step after the change of direction. Maximum force values and force rates did not show significant changes; however, they were sufficiently high to suggest a potential injury risk in both conditions.
