| Summary: | The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of half-time simulated soccer matches on the sprint kinematics of amateur soccer players. This study was a pilot experimental study with a pre-test/post-test design. Eighteen amateur-level soccer players (age: 22.88±4.19 years) attending a preparatory camp for the senior national championship were recruited for the study. Baseline assessments of sprint kinematics using a 30 m linear sprint test were conducted before the simulated soccer match. The F-V profiling of the participants was the dependent variable. Post-assessments were conducted immediately after the simulation protocol. Although there were no statistically significant changes (p = 0.12 to 0.65) observed from pre-to post-test, trivial to small effect sizes were found, with percent changes ranging from 0% to 3.7%. The results showed that half-time simulation had a negative effect (i.e., trivial to small) on sprint kinematics in amateur-level soccer players. The findings of this study suggest that half-time simulated soccer matches negatively affect sprint kinematics in amateur-level soccer players. |
