effect of recreational soccer on the physiological parameters and risk of injuries in adult males

Aims: the purpose of this study was to evaluate gps daily dependability to establish the consistency of vo2max, hrmax, total distance, decelerations and accelerations done, metabolic power, relative velocity, high-speed running, and high-intensity metabolic power distance in recreational soccer. instrument & methods: in 2022, this descriptive study recruited 30 adult males with no specific diseases. the soccer matches (four vs. four) were played on an artificial grass outdoor field (pitch size 40×43m). participants finished the match in 60 minutes and repeated the identical match a week later. several criteria were included in the analysis (vo2max, hrmax, total distance, decelerations, and accelerations, metabolic power, relative velocity, high-speed running, and high-intensity metabolic power). typical measurement error and interclass correlation were used to evaluate the absolute hr data between the two matches, and spss 23 software was used for statistical analysis. findings: the high levels of dependability were observed in total distance (icc=0.56), accelerations (icc=0.53), mean hr (icc=0.71), high-speed running (icc=0.65), and metabolic power (icc=0.54). conclusion: recreational soccer improves the physiological parameters and decreases the risk of injuries in adult males.
