In teamsports, Global Positioning Systems (GPS) technology is probably the most used monitoring tool torecord workloads during training and competitions (Akenhead and Nassis, 2016).In soccer, the training load (TL) has previously been defined as the input variable that ismanipulated to elicit the desired training response (Impellizzeri et al., 2019) and it can bedifferentiated into external and internal loads (Jaspers et al., 2017). While external TL refers to theoverall activities of a player, internal TL encompasses the psycho-physiological stress imposed onthe player’s body (Jaspers et al., 2017). Both internal and external TLs represent the cumulativeexposure of each player to training and competitions (Jaspers et al., 2018). TL can be assessedby means of internal and external measures (Impellizzeri et al., 2019). For internal measures,heart rate or rating of perceived exertion have traditionally been applied (Owen et al., 2015).For external measures, GPS data have proven to be a valid and reliable means (Nikolaidis et al.,2018). GPS measures time motion parameters represented by the distance covered and the numberof efforts at different running velocities (e.g., up to 25.2 km/h), as well as bouts of accelerationand deceleration throughout an activity (e.g., up to 3 m/s² or −3 m/s², respectively) at differentintensities (Akenhead and Nassis, 2016) over a few meters which are too short to reach high speedrunning (Varley et al., 2017).
