Methodological Insights Into the Acceleration–Speed Profile: Optimizing Data Analysis for Reliable Application in Elite Female and Male Football
The most reliable acceleration-speed profiles can be obtained from 2 consecutive microcycles, each including 5 or more sessions and at least 1 MD or MD + 1. These findings support the integration of in situ sprint profiling into applied performance monitoring without the need for isolated testing.
