Objectives: Soccer is amongst the most popular sports in the world, and also it is one of the sports in which physical injury occurs most. The aim of the present study was to investigate soccer players’ pre- and post-season physical injury-related parameters, to analyze the effectiveness of the training program, and to evaluate changes in their physical performance throughout the season. Methods: In the present study, 16 soccer players (mean age: 18.87±0.61 years) and 16 sedentary individuals (mean age: 20.93±4.48 years) were recruited. In both groups, proprioception, functional endurance, and coordination were assessed. Soccer players were assessed twice: pre- and post-season, while the sedentary group was assessed only once. Results: Pre-season concentric and eccentric coordination levels of the soccer players were found to be higher than those of the sedentary group (p<0.05). In addition, post-season concentric coordination levels of the soccer players were higher than those of the sedentary group (p<0.05). In terms of proprioception levels, no statistical difference was observed between pre- and post-season in the soccer group and between groups (p>0.05). When the pre-season values were compared with the post-season values in the soccer group, while there was a significant decrease in concentric coordination values (p<0.05). There was a significant increase in concentric endurance values (p<0.05). Conclusion: Pre- and post-season detailed evaluations of the soccer players would be beneficial in terms of not only identifying their physical needs and the shortcomings in their physical fitness but also they would be beneficial in designing the training programs.

COVID-19 caused a total halt in sport competition during 2020. The purpose of this study was to analyze the changes between pre- and post-lockdown competitive periods in the players’ workload variables in competition. Seventeen professional football players were monitored using a WIMU PRO® inertial device throughout the 2019-20 season. Anthropometric and physical fitness were assessed with the aim to relate possible associations between these characteristics and the workload changes in the pre- and post-lockdown periods. During the lockdown, players carried out an 8-week guided self-training. There was a general decrement in the players’ physical workload demands in competition, and the parameters related to high-intensity actions as accelerations and decelerations (-8.96% [ES: 0.64] and -11.04% [ES: 0.77] respectively; p < .05), Ind HSR (-35.57% [ES: 0.92]; p = .002), HMLD (-8.58% [ES: 0.66]; p = .016), PLOAD (-7.03% [ES: 0.54]; p = .047) and Vmax (-3.80% [ES: 0.65]; p = .016) can be highlighted. The results showed high negative correlations between match workload variables prior to the lockdown and the percentage of change in these variables after the lockdown period. Individual percentages of change showed high variability in players’ changes. Individual self-training programs should be reviewed to minimize the impact of a “detraining” period in players’ physical performance during possible new lockdown periods.
