Los Juegos Reducidos NO lo entrenan todo. Ni la fuerza, ni la velocidad, ni todas las conductas tácticas que necesitas en el partido. Un consenso científico de 20 expertos (Beato et al., 2026) cuestiona una creencia muy extendida en el fútbol. Te explico qué dice y cómo aplicarlo. 🧵

⚽️ From external load (EL) to training decisions: using DJ metrics ⚽ 💥Ind analyses revealed link between EL & DJ metrics (ACC, DEC) in acute & chronic period; Contact time & jump height should be interpreted separately💥 👉 Sierra-Casas 2026 🇪🇸 🗂️ doi.org/10.1186/s13102-025-0…

⚽ New paper: How are high-intensity actions monitored and trained in professional football? 27 practitioners, from the Premier League to League Two: 📡 GPS is standard 💨 Sprint & HSR prioritised 🏟️ Large-sided games rated best 🔗 Better context, not more data is needed

Hamstring sliders are an absolute staple in my programs. The cues I use: • Hips up high. • Slow & controlled on the way out. • Pull your toes towards your head. Once people get good at them, I also like them to dig their heel into the ground for 1sec in the long position 🔥

⚽️ Submaximal intensity periods (SIP) in game-based drills (GBD) vs. match demands (MD) ⚽ ❗️Sub Acc = GBD > MD, especially in possession drills with small ApP: HSR, HMLD, & sprint events ️matches > any drill❗️ 👉 Caro et al 2026 🇪🇸 🗂️ https://10.3389/fspor.2025.1666652

⚽️ Can We Replicate Most Demanding Periods (MDP) of Matches with LSG? ⚽ ❗️LSG did not = match HSR, high-ACC & DEC values. Pos data = ↗️ values in MDP, except mid- & low DEC. Add tasks are required to meet match demands❗️ 👉 Casamichana et al 2026 🇪🇸 🗂️ doi.org/10.3390/jfmk10040410

Regular strength and aerobic exercise are associated with a better-functioning brain in middle age. Women who did resistance training regularly had faster reaction times than those who did aerobic exercise or no exercise at all. Regular exercise of any type was associated with better working memory, with the clearest association among older participants. This was a cross-sectional study of women aged 35-63. But it's hardly specific to this female age group. Brain health is one of the main reasons I exercise. And, as I’ve discussed, the older brain remains capable of responding too. In a separate randomized trial I cite often, a year of aerobic exercise increased hippocampal volume by about 2%. That’s a region critical for learning and memory. All types of exercise deserve a spot in the conversation about brain health, though it's interesting to see there may be some domain-specific effects!

【ハムストリング損傷後、スプリントはいつ再開するべきか？】 2026年のJOSPT掲載研究。 欧州・中東のプロクラブ5チーム、男子選手95名を対象に、ハムストリング損傷後のフィールドリハビリと再受傷リスクを調査。 興味深い結果が報告されています。 高速走行（HSR）、スプリント、高強度加速をリハビリ進行の後半（60％以降）に導入した選手では、再受傷リスクが低い傾向にありました。 また、スプリントの総量よりも、導入するタイミングや段階的な負荷設定が重要である可能性が示されています。 考えたいのは、 ・いつ高速走行を再開するのか？ ・いつ最大スプリントに近づけるのか？ ・加速、減速をどの段階で導入するのか？ ・再受傷せずに競技パフォーマンスを戻せるのか？ 復帰を急ぐことと、復帰の準備が整っていることは同じではありません。 ハムストリング損傷を繰り返す選手のリハビリを考える上で、非常に興味深い研究です。 原著論文： doi.org/10.2519/jospt.2026.1…

Lactate is often blamed for athletic fatigue. Now we recognise lactate as an important fuel during exercise. But what about lactate supplements? Do they live up to the claims that are being made and what does the evidence really tell us? Read the blog: mssa.app/ggg #lactate

Raising blood lactate to ~4 mM during moderate exercise blunts whole-body lipolysis by ~25% without reducing fat oxidation, dissociating lactate from the intensity-driven fall in fat use. exolactate.com/exogenous-lac…

⚽️ How Age Affects Physical Performance ⚽ ❗️Players > 32 experienced declines in HI- & explosive actions, endurance remained rel stable with age. Peak = around 25.7 (speed), 24.8 (endurance), & 26 explosiveness❗️ 👉 Branquinho et al 2026 🇵🇹 🗂️ doi.org/10.3390/jfmk10040385

This is such an underrated perspective. 250ms is useful…as long as you have context of the bigger picture. It wasn’t meant as everything under 250ms is “good” and “plyometric” It’s all part of the continuum. All models are flawed, but some are useful.

¡Seguimos cerca de los clubes de nuestro fútbol! ⚽🇪🇨 Como parte de su agenda de trabajo, integrantes del cuerpo técnico de la Selección Mayor visitaron a SD Aucas, donde compartieron un espacio de diálogo e intercambio de experiencias. Agradecemos a su DT Norberto Araujo, cuerpo técnico y al personal del club por la apertura y la cálida recepción.
