Representative Design and Performance Analysis in Soccer

Bruno Travassos

2014

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show how evaluation of the tactical demands of training exercises and its comparison with match performance can improve the understanding of players and teams’ performance. For that, based on the concept of representative design of practice tasks we present some issues that need to be considered to measure and compare the spatial-temporal relations that sustain the tactical behaviors of players and teams in training exercises and competition.
