Description/Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of this research was to identify the percent difference and statistically significant differences in the weekly training schedule (match, M-1, and M-2) for GPS derived loads. METHODS: GPS data from matches and training were analyzed to identify relative percent difference between matches and training. Several MANOVAs were used to evaluate statistically significant differences in GPS loads between matches, M-1, and M-2. RESULTS: There are large differences between GPS variables for M-1 and M-2 as compared to match loads. There are statistically significant differences between M-1, M-2 and Matches for all GPS variables. Discussion: M-1 has the lowest training volumes, most likely for the management of fatigue and reduction of injury risk the day before a match. Differences between matches and training demonstrate a high degree of variation in weekly training. This variation prevents monotonous training from occurring, potentially resulting in a greater degree of adaptation from the training stimulus.
