TL;DR: Assessing the effects of a 13-week constructivist and cognitivist training program by measuring behaviour in a 5 × 5 football small-sided game showed frequent periods with a clear trend to moving in anti-phase, as measured by players' distance to the centre of the team.

Abstract: The present study explored how football players' dynamic positional data can be used to assess tactical behaviour by measuring movement patterns and inter-player coordination. A pre post-test design was used to assess the effects of a 13-week constructivist and cognitivist training program by measuring behaviour in a 5 × 5 football small-sided game, played on a 60 × 40 m outdoor natural turf pitch. Data was captured at 5 Hz by GPS devices (SPI Pro, GPSports, Canberra, Australia) and analysed with non-linear signal processing methods. Approximate entropy values were lower in post-test situations suggesting that these time series became more regular with increasing expertise in football. Relative phase post-test values showed frequent periods with a clear trend to moving in anti-phase, as measured by players' distance to the centre of the team. These advances may open new research topics under the tactical scope and allow narrowing the gap between sports sciences and sports coaching.

Effect of Number of Touches and Exercise Duration on the Kinematic Profile and Heart Rate Response During Small-Sided Games in Soccer
TL;DR: Findings for soccer coaches are that they illustrate how different technical, tactical or conditioning objectives could be addressed by altering the length and format of the SSG used in training.

Approximate entropy as a measure of system complexity.
TL;DR: Analysis of a recently developed family of formulas and statistics, approximate entropy (ApEn), suggests that ApEn can classify complex systems, given at least 1000 data values in diverse settings that include both deterministic chaotic and stochastic processes.

Physiological time-series analysis: What does regularity quantify?
TL;DR: This work provides a formal mathematical description of approximate entropy and provides a multistep description of the algorithm as applied to two contrasting clinical heart rate data sets, indicating the utility of ApEn to test this hypothesis.

The ecological dynamics of decision making in sport
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that decision-making behavior is best considered at the level of the performer-environment relationship and viewed as emerging from the interactions of individuals with environmental constraints over time towards specific functional goals.

Validity and reliability of GPS devices for measuring movement demands of team sports
Aaron J. Coutts,Rob Duffield +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that the GPS devices have an acceptable level of accuracy and reliability for total distance and peak speeds during high-intensity, intermittent exercise, but may not be provide reliable measures for higher intensity activities.
