Relative intensities and compositions of multifactorial peak kinematic and mechanical demands in elite youth soccer
Practitioners should consider both the relative intensities and compositional structures of MDPk and MDPm when evaluating multifactorial peak demands in soccer. Analyzing kinematic and mechanical MDP as multifactorial constructs offers critical insights into the contribution of specific locomotor demands across various durations. This approach emphasizes the importance of duration-specific analyses in optimizing training, recovery, and match preparation strategies, thereby facilitating targeted training interventions and enhancing player readiness for competition.
