Abstract

The objective was to study the physical response to conditional performance in competition of different game formats in football taking into account the demarcation of players. Four external load variables were recorded in 16 semi-professional players in four types of tasks played (4vs4 [JRP], 6vs6 [JRM] and 8vs8 [JRL]) and training matches (10vs10 [PE]) for a total of 467 records. The physical variables analyzed were the following: (a) DTmin, total distance in absolute values per minute of activity, (b) %DT, total distance per minute in values relative to the profile of demands in competition, (c) PLmin, player load in absolute values per minute of activity, and (d) %PL, player load per minute in values relative to the profile of demands in competition. The results were that in the JRP and JRM formats for the variables DTmin and PLmin the values were similar between demarcations, but not being the same for the variables %DT and %PL. On the contrary, the differences between the different game positions were minimized in the large formats (JRL and PE) when the %DT and %PL variables were analyzed, as opposed to DTmin and PLmin, where there were more differences between demarcations. The conclusion was that, depending on whether the physical variables are considered in absolute terms or in relation to the competition, the differences between demarcations are not uniform: small formats equal the conditional response in absolute terms, while large formats equal the conditional response between players in terms of the individual profile in competition.
