Research On Match Load Characteristics Of Shandong Luneng Taishan Football Team

This paper aims to gain a basic understanding of match load characteristics of sport matches in China's football super leagues.In this paper,football team Shandong Luneng Taishan was taken as an example for case study.GPSports System(a global sports positioning system)and Videobserver system(a match panorama recording system)were applied to real-time monitoring and data analysis for 20 warm-up matches during its winter training for 5 successive seasons of the super league from2014 to 2018.Match load characteristics of Shandong Luneng Taishan were described in detail,in order to provide football players with physical training that is scientific and of proper intensity in their daily training and improve their training quality and physical ability.In addition,this paper can also provide coaches with information about players' physical ability status and physical ability allocation law in preparation,allowing them to improve accuracy and practicability of their tactics.Meanwhile,this paper also provides valuable reference information for China's football training.Focusing on two dimensions,namely match load quantity and match load intensity,three measurable indicators,namely running distance,running speed and match heart rate,were selected to conduct a comprehensive,detailed and in-depth analysis of the20 warm-up matches.Match load conditions for the full matches,offense and defense stages,players in different positions and different match periods were described and compared.Finally,the following match load characteristics were summarized:1.In terms of match load quantity,the average running distance of players of Shandong Luneng Taishan(except the goalkeeper)for the full matches is 10,110 meters,a figure that reaches the average benchmark proposed by the FIFA,but is worse than the statistical data of international first-class leagues.2.In terms of match load intensity,football matches usually have high load intensity.For players of Shandong Luneng Taishan,in 72% of playing time,their heart rate is higher than 85% of their highest personal heart rate;only in 5% of playing time,their heart rate is lower than 75% of their highest personal heart rate.3.In terms of energy supply,running at low and middle speeds,energy of which is supplied through aerobic metabolism,accounts for the majority of full matches.However,the key to victory is high-intensity running,energy of which is supplied through anaerobic metabolism and the distance of which only accounts for 5% of the total distance.4.In terms of different positions,match load demands of different positions don't have significant differences.Running conditions and heart rates of players of Shandong Luneng Taishan all suggest that there are no significant differences in match load quantity & intensity between different positions.5.In terms of different match stages,the initial stage of each half has relatively low match load and a small proportion of high-intensity motion;the final stage of each half has relatively high match load and intensive high-intensity motions.6.In terms of the team's characteristics,the requirement of Shandong Luneng Taishan on match load for the second half tends to be stricter than the first half.Players of Shandong Luneng Taishan have sufficient energy storage and excellent running ability.So,the team has a distinctive characteristic that its overall running for the second half,especially high-intensity running,is better than the first half.In addition,the team's running allocated to offense and defense is balanced overall,with a little more running allocated to offense.Meanwhile,active acceleration in offense is much more than passive acceleration in defense.In terms of abrupt acceleration,this team has an obvious advantage compared with its competitors...
