About this trial

Over the recent years, the increased competitive demands in elite competitive athletes has sparked a heightened interest in monitoring fatigue. Given the nature of the soccer game, athletes may experience low-frequency fatigue. Until recently, this assessment was restricted to in-lab. However, the emergence of new instruments aiming to allow low-frequency assessment to be carried out on a daily basis, in the context of professional teams. This study aimed to analyze the recovery of low-frequency fatigue, jump height and perceptual responses following competition and investigate possible associations between the objective and subjective parameters.
