HIGH-INTENSITY CIRCUIT TRAINING USING BODY WEIGHTFernando Farias
Traditionally, resistance training often is
performed separately from aerobic training V
typically on two or three nonconsecutive days
each week. The American College of Sports
Medicine (ACSM) recommends 8 to 12 repeti-
tions of a resistance training exercise for each
major muscle group at an intensity of 40% to 80%
of a one-repetition max (RM) depending on the
training level of the participant.
F
oam rollers and massage sticks have increased in popularity
in the fitness industry and are often recommended by
strength and conditioning professionals (5,6,10). There is
evidence that shows positive effects of foam rolling on range of
motion (ROM), recovery, and performance (8,9,10,14). Despite its
effectiveness, the mechanisms as to how foam rolling works are
not fully understood. However, it is likely that acute responses in
foam rolling are similar to those elicited by manual therapy, which
are thought to be neurophysiological in origin .
Foam Rolling for Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness and Recovery of Dynamic Perfor...Fernando Farias
After an intense bout of exercise, foam rolling is
thought to alleviate muscle fatigue and soreness (ie, delayed-
onset muscle soreness [DOMS]) and improve muscular perfor-
mance. Potentially, foam rolling may be an effective therapeutic
modality to reduce DOMS while enhancing the recovery of
muscular performance.

Melhorar ou até mesmo manter o desempenho atlético em jogadores de esportes de equipe competitivos durante o longo período da temporada é um dos maiores desafios para qualquer treinador comprometido. Tempo muito limitado está disponível entre as partidas semanais para introduzir sessões intensivas de treinamento de força e poder, com uma freqüência normal de 1-2 unidades por semana. Este fato estimula a busca de métodos de treinamento mais eficientes capazes de melhorar uma ampla variedade de habilidades funcionais, evitando ao mesmo tempo os efeitos de fadiga.
EFFECTS OF STRENGTH TRAINING ON SQUAT AND SPRINT PERFORMANCE IN SOCCER PLAYERSFernando Farias
We have demonstrated that a simple in-season strength training program resulted in an improvement in maximal back squat performance, which was reflected in improve- ments in short sprint performance, as identified by a decrease in sprint time over 5, 10, and 20 m, in professional soccer players, in line with the hypotheses. Furthermore, the changes in relative 1RM squat strength demonstrate strong associations with the changes in 5 (r = 0.62), 10 (r = 0.78), and 20-m (r = 0.60) sprint performances.
Dumbbell exercises for football training programsFernando Farias
T
his article was written in part because of a member of the
National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA)
requested an article on the use of dumbbell exercises in
the training programs for football athletes. As a strength and
conditioning coach who has been using dumbbells for football
training programs since my time as a graduate assistant strength
and conditioning coach at Fresno State University in the early
1990s, I believe I am in a knowledgeable position to respond to
this request. During my three years as a graduate assistant and
my 12 years at the United States Air Force Academy, I continued
to use dumbbell training. That emphasis on dumbbell training
has continued during my six years as the Head Strength and
Conditioning Coach at Colorado State University-Pueblo (CSU-
Pueblo), which recently won the 2014 National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division II Football National Championship.

Comparative effect of SAQ and circuit training programme on selected physical...Sports Journal
The present study was undertaken to study the comparative effect of SAQ and circuit training program on
selected physical fitness variables of school level basketball players. Thirty (30) school level basketball
players aged between 14-17 years will randomly be selected from Simpkins School Agra U.P. The
subjects were randomly divided in three groups as group A (SAQ training group), group B (circuit
training group) and group C (control group). After the pre-test with Physical fitness test Experiment
Group-A underwent a training SAQ programme of selected exercise. Experiment Group-B received a
Circuit training program of selected exercises, whereas the Control group did not participate in any
training program. Group A has gone under SAQ training program and Group has gone under circuit
training for 60 minutes three times a week except Sunday for duration of 12 weeks. Post data was
collected after 12 weeks of experimental period. Analysis of Variance (ANOCOVA) was applied at 0.05
level of significance and Post hoc mean comparison was done by using LSD test. It may be concluded
that SAQ training program was significantly better than circuit training program for speed and agility
whereas circuit training program was better than SAQ training program for abdominal, arms & shoulder
endurance being studied by the researcher. In case of explosive strength no significant difference was
found between both the training programs
Training Load and Fatigue Marker Associations with Injury and IllnessFernando Farias
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the litera-
ture that has reported the monitoring of longitudinal
training load and fatigue and its relationship with injury
and illness. The current findings highlight disparity in the
terms used to define training load, fatigue, injury and ill-
ness, as well as a lack of investigation of fatigue and
training load interactions. Key stages of training and
competition where the athlete is at an increased risk of
injury/illness risk were identified. These included periods
of training load intensification, accumulation of training
load and acute change in load. Modifying training load
during these periods may help reduce the potential for
injury and illness.
Does static stretching reduce maximal muscle performance?Fernando Farias
Kay and Blazevich systemati-
cally examined research that showed
the effects of static stretching on mus-
cle strength and other performance
measures by separating the studies into
total stretch durations of ,30 seconds,
30 to 45 seconds, 1 to 2 minutes, or
.2 minutes. Some practical and tech-
nical considerations may be helpful in
considering their conclusion that static
stretching only impairs muscle function
with longer stretches.
Short inter-set rest blunts resistance exercise-inducedFernando Farias
Manipulating the rest-recovery interval between sets of resistance exercise may influence
training-induced muscle remodelling. The aim of this study was to determine the acute muscle
anabolic response to resistance exercise performed with short or long inter-set rest intervals.
In a study with a parallel-group design, 16 males completed four sets of bilateral leg-press and
knee-extension exercise at 75% of one-repetition maximum to momentary muscular failure,
followed by ingestion of 25 g of whey protein. Resistance exercise sets were interspersed by
1 min (n = 8) or 5 min of passive rest (n = 8). Muscle biopsies were obtained at rest, 0, 4, 24
and 28 h postexercise during a primed continuous infusion of l-[ring-13C6]phenylalanine to
determine myofibrillar protein synthesis and intracellular signalling.
Is self myofascial release an effective preexercise and recovery strategy?Fernando Farias
Sports participation in youth is on the rise (35). In addi-
tion, paradigms in preventive health care are shifting focus
to the benefits of exercise in the aging population, leading
to exercise prescriptions for a previously sedentary group
(14,23,36). As more individuals become active, the number
of exercise-related injuries and conditions such as delayed-
onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is likely increasing (10).
DOMS can limit physical activity or result in pain that de-
ters individuals from continuing their exercise regimen (10).
Whether the athlete is young or old, novice or elite, regular
and/or strenuous exercise can result in DOMS and forma-
tion of fibrous tissue adhesions, leading to decreased range
of motion (ROM) (4,10,15).

4. Heat
In energy production, the largest portion of the
chemical energy released is converted into heat. This
heat has to be emitted through physical transfer,
although the most significant part is discharged
through perspiration.
Although a higher ambient temperature is a
hindrance because of the reduced physical transfer
possibilities, the bigger concern is an excessively
high level of humidity, because this makes sweating
much more difficult.
5. Heat and Precooling
The use of pre-cooling strategies prior to exercise
significantly delays the occurrence of fatigue and
improves performance (Duffield et al., 2010; Quod et al.,
2008; Castle et al., 2006).
The logic for this is that pre-cooling will extend the time
before reaching the critical core temperature (Price et al.,
2009). Although evidence for the transfer of these
findings to a valid soccer environment is limited. Precooling may reduce physiological and perceptual loads to
improve performance for soccer training and
competition in hot environmental conditions (Duffield et
al., 2013).
6. Heat and Precooling
Pre-cooling effects are largely lost during the first half. Direct skin
cooling with wet/cold towels (Marsh et al., 1999) or holding the
hands in cold water during the break is a cheap method for keeping
the body temperature as low as possible (Goosey-Tolfrey, 2008).
Drinking ice-slushies and water can also improve performance in
very warm environments (Ross et al., 2011). Duffield et al. (2013)
investigated the effects of field-based pre-cooling strategies (icevests, cold towels, and 350 mL ice-slushie drinks) for professional
soccer players during training and competition in the heat. The
researchers presented equivocal findings for the effects of precooling for professional soccer players during competitive training
and matches in the heat.
However, performance and thermoregulatory response trends
showed the same positive similarities to previous laboratory
evidence.
7. Aim
Football in the Middle East is often played in hot and
humid conditions. Thus the aim of this study was to
investigate the effect of heat and cooling strategies on
football specific intermittent endurance capacity.

football players (Al-Ahli Saudi FC) performed the Yo-Yo
Intermittent Recovery level 2 Test (Yo-Yo IR2) on two
separate occasions separated by 7 days in a randomized
crossover design. The first test (T1) was completed in 32.0
°C and 43% humidity while the second one (T2) was
executed in 26.0 °C and 17% humidity. The pre-cooling
intervention during T2 involved 300 mL ice-slushie drink
administration pre and post warm up. Nude mass pre- and
post-test and distance covered, heart rate exercise (HRex)
and heart rate recovery (HRR) during the Yo-Yo IR2 test
were recorded.

19. Results
Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine differences between the
intervention group (IG) and the control group (CG). No differences
were found between both groups for any of the variables measured. A
Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, with Bonferroni correction was used to
determine differences between the two environmental conditions (T1
and T2) for both groups. Within group differences were found between
T1 and T2 for nude mass (less sweat loss) (p IG =0,001; p CG =0,002).
However HRex and distance covered during the Yo-Yo IR2 test differed
for the intervention group but not for the control group. HRex was
lower (p=0,001) and the covered distance during the Yo-YoIR2 test was
higher (p=0,001) for the intervention group (T1= 1129 ±340m; T2=
1486±346m). Effect size was calculated (Cohen's d) to determine the
magnitude of difference of the ice slushie intervention on football
specific performance. A small to moderate (d = 0.386) effect was found.
20. Conclusions:
These results show that football specific intermittent
endurance performance was impaired during hot and
humid conditions. These negative effects can be
counteracted by ice slushie administration although
some practical issues were experienced such as “brain
freeze” (spheno palatine gangleoneuralgia), stomach
ache and time needed to consume an ice slushie.

103. Fatigue
Professional soccer players are exposed to
demanding competition schedules and can be easily
exposed to 70 games in a single competitive season
(King and Duffield, 2009).
104. Effects of match play
Playing competitive soccer involves eccentric work,
particularly during competition, resulting in varying
levels of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD).
This EIMD is characterized by delayed-onset muscle
soreness (DOMS) (Impellizzeri et al., 2008),
decreased muscle function (Jakeman et al., 2009),
impaired performance (Reilly and Ekblom, 2005),
and increased perceived fatigue (Twist and Eston,
2009).
106. Recovery strategies
Although the recovery process is initiated
automatically, it can be assisted by appropriate
recovery strategies.
The capacity to recover from training and
competition is therefore an important determinant
in soccer performance (Kellmann, 2002; Odetoyinbo
et al., 2009).
109. Recovery between high-intensity efforts
In conclusion, it seems better to recover passively
between intensive bouts during a match, but the
recommendation that players should walk or stand
still during and following bouts of repeated sprinting
needs to be coordinated with tactical windows of
opportunity.
110. Recovery post-match
Several studies have demonstrated that it takes more
than 72 hours to reach prematch values for physical
performance and normalize muscle damage and
inflammation (Andersson et al., 2008).
The magnitude of match-induced fatigue, extrinsic
factors (e.g., match result, quality of the opponent,
match location, playing surface, environmental
conditions) and/or intrinsic factors (e.g., training
status, age, sex, muscle fiber typology), could
influence the time course of recovery (Nédélec et al.
2012).
112. Timing of recovery
Recovery commences immediately after the match by
using nutritional strategies to replenish glycogen stores
and drinking water or carbohydrate beverages to restore
fluid balance. With the next competitive match 3–7 days
away, a recovery training session is often planned the
next day as well. It is still unclear whether immediate
post-match recovery offers additional benefits when
compared to a traditional next-day recovery.
Is it really necessary to start active recovery sessions
immediately after the game, or can this wait until the
next day?
113. Post match recovery
Dawson and colleagues (2005) investigated four types of immediate post-match
recoveries:
1. Control (i.e., no proactive recovery): The players were instructed to perform no
recovery procedures other than eating (fruit), drinking (water and soft drinks), and
showering.
2. Stretching: The players were led through 15 minutes of gentle static stretching
of the legs and back, involving two or three reps of 30s-held stretches across several
muscle groups and joints.
3. Pool walking: The players were taken through 15 minutes of easy walking
(moving forwards, backwards and sideways) in the shallow end of a 28°C
swimming pool.
4. Hot/Cold cycling: The players alternated between standing in a hot (~ 45°C)
shower for two minutes and standing waist deep in icy water (~12°C) for one
minute, repeated until five hot and four cold exposures had been completed.
Additional ice was added to the cold water as required to maintain a constant
temperature.
The authors concluded that performing any form of immediate post-match recovery
did not significantly enhance the recovery of muscle soreness, flexibility and power
within the first 48 hours following a game when compared to just performing a
“next-day” recovery training session.
114. Recovery between mid-week matches
The recovery time between two matches in a week
seems sufficient to maintain levels of physical
performance, but it is not long enough to maintain a
low injury rate. Adequate recovery strategies are
necessary to maintain a low injury rate among soccer
players during periods of congested match fixtures
(Dupont, 2010).

Gregory Dupont, Mathieu Nedelec, Alan McCall, Derek McCormack, Serge Berthoin and Ulrik Wisløff
Effect of 2 Soccer Matches in a Week on Physical Performance and Injury Rate
116. Active recovery
Active recovery (Baldari et al., 2004; Tessitore et al.,
2007):
• reduces muscle soreness (Reilly, 1998)
• increases muscle-damage recovery (Gill et al., 2006)
• prevents venous pooling in the muscles after maximal effort
• restores metabolic perturbations (Bangsbo et al., 1994;
Bogdanis et al., 1996)
• increases lactate clearance. (Maximum clearance occurred at
active recovery close to the lactate threshold (Menzies et al.,
2010). However, for team sports like soccer, lactate removal is
not a determining factor, as matches are generally 3–9 days
apart.)
117. Running activities
Running activities followed by static stretching could
reduce delayed onset muscle soreness. However, the
research is inconclusive about the effects of lowintensity running exercises on recovery.
118. Pool sessions
Exercising in water has been suggested by some
researchers (Dowzer and Reilly, 1998; Oda et al.,
1999; Suzuki et al., 2004).
The advantages of running in water (aquajogging or
deep-water running) over normal running are
numerous:
• It avoids excessive eccentric actions, especially in deep water.
• It naturally massages the muscles (via the water turbulence).
• It reduces mechanical load on the joints.
• It aids recovery from musculoskeletal fatigue.
• It increases the physiological and psychological indices of
relaxation.

Andersson, Helena ; Raastad, Truls ; Nilsson, Johnny ; Paulsen, Gøran ; Garthe, Ina ; Kadi, Fawzi
Medicine and science in sports and exercise, 2008, Vol.40(2), pp.372-80
122. Stretching
Sometimes recommended as a recovery strategy in order
to prevent delayed onset muscle soreness and improve
range of motion.
Contradicted findings were published by Wessel and
Wan (1994) who found that stretching before or after
exercise did not improve DOMS.
Coaches should be careful in applying stretching after
intensive training or match play. This causes exerciseinduced muscle damage, and post-exercise stretching can
potentially cause further trauma.
In conclusion, serious stretching after an intensive
training or game is contraindicated for recovery.
124. Cold-water immersion (CWI)
These are the possible mechanisms of post-exercise
cooling:
It reduces pain and swelling, having an anti-inflammatory effect and
reducing the potential for DOMS.
It causes vaso-constriction, which increases blood flow and
metabolic transportation post-exercise.
Additionally, CWI may decrease nerve transmission speed (Wilcock,
2006) and alter the receptor threshold, leading to decreased pain
perception.
There may also be a psychological mechanism whereby the body feels
more “awake” and perceives a reduced sensation of fatigue after
exercise (Cochrane, 2004).
Based on the available literature, the recommendation is
for a whole-body immersion lasting 10–20 minutes in a
water temperature of 10–15°C (Halson, 2011).
126. Compression garments
Various research has suggested that CGs:
increase the removal of cellular debris,
moderate the formation of oedema associated with EIMD,
attenuate muscle oscillation,
change sub-maximal oxygen usage during exercise,
alleviate swelling, and
reduce perceived muscle soreness during post-exercise recovery
offer mechanical support (dynamic casting effect) to the muscle,
allowing faster recovery following damaging exercise (Kraemer et al.,
2001).
In conclusion, wearing CGs might support recovery and reduce DOMS,
and no detrimental effects have been reported. Players could be
encouraged to use compression socks during recovery or taper,
particularly when travelling by car or plane.
127. Sleep
Research speculates that sleep supports improvements in
sport performance, because during phases of deep sleep,
growth hormone is released.
Sleep deprivation:
• reduces the ability to store glycogen
• reduces decision-making quality and reflexes
• increases stress hormones (cortisol)
• negatively affects recovery. (Skein et al. (2013) examined the effects of
overnight sleep deprivation on recovery following competitive rugby
league matches. They found that sleep deprivation negatively affects
recovery, specifically impairing CMJ distance and cognitive function.)
• lowers levels of growth hormone needed to help repair the body
128. Recommendations for females aged 18+ and
males aged 19+ (Samuels, 2008)
Ensure a comfortable sleep environment when travelling and
competing.
Monitor for competition stress and anxiety insomnia.
Observe sleep to identify sleep disorders.
Maintain a regular sleeping and napping routine.
Monitor for a delayed sleep phase, such as difficulty falling asleep
and waking up for school.
Get early-morning light exposure for 30 minutes daily.
Maintain reliable nutrition routines. Breakfast is the most
important meal of the day.
Focus on reducing sleep debt. Get 56–70 hours of sleep per week.
Do not train if unrested and sleep deprived.
Avoid technology (e.g., PCs, smartphones, tablets) before bed.
129. Psychological strategies
In this regard, the athlete has been described as a
“psychosocio-physiological entity” (Kenttä and
Hassmén, 2002).
Venter (2012) investigated the perceptions of team
athletes on the importance of recovery modalities.
The results from this study demonstrated that team
players do perceive psychosocial aspects to be among
the most important recovery modalities.
131. Psychological strategies
Organize a debriefing after each game.
Set realistic goals.
Social networks can help players deal with the problems, disappointments, joys and
stresses of life (Quinn and Fallon, 1999).
Appoint players carefully for media demands and sponsor needs.
Reframe goals if long-term goals look difficult to reach.
Give players space to develop effective pre- and post-match strategies.
Social support may increase performance (Freeman and Rees, 2008).
Try to protect players from the negative impact of stressors (Botterill and Wilson,
2002; Rees and Hardy, 2004).
Encourage players to create a playlist of music they enjoy that generates a range of
moods and atmospheres so as to produce a stimulating or calming effect (Calder,
2000).
Do not force players into post-match recovery strategies that are perceived as
stressful.
Encourage friends and teammates to provide listening and emotional support;
challenge evaluation of attitudes, values and feelings; express appreciation; and
motivate other players to greater excitement and involvement (Barefield and
McCallister, 1997).
132. Massage
There is limited scientific evidence showing that massage might
assist in recovery strategies (Monedero and Donne, 2000).
Recent research by Jakeman et al. (2010) reported that a combined
treatment of a 30-minute manual massage and a 12-hour lowerlimb compression significantly decreased perceived soreness at 48
and 72 hours after plyometric exercise when compared to passive
recovery or compression alone. This was confirmed by Hilbert et al.
(2003) when they reported moderated muscle-soreness ratings 48
hours after exercise when a massage was administered 2 hours after
eccentric exercise.
Massage should be carefully administered after intensive training or
match play, since massage can possibly counter the natural recovery
process of the body. Some researchers even suggest that a massage
should not be applied after training or a match because postexercise massage could cause further trauma when training or
match play has caused EIMD (Barnett, 2006).
Finally , it seems that the training level of the therapist affects the
effectiveness of massage (Moraska, 2007).
133. Recommendations:
Replenish glycogen stores immediately after a match (intake of
carbohydrates). (Metabolic window)
Consume proteins to assist muscle regeneration.
Don‟t drink alcohol before or after a match.
Warm up properly, because this will decrease post-match
DOMS.
Restore fluid balance.
Do not use massage immediately after the match
Replenish electrolytes.
Sleep a minimum of 10 hours for each of the two days following
a match (sleep extension).
134. Recommendations:
Take a daily nap of 25 minutes after lunch (between 1pm and 4pm).
Avoid any eccentric work in the two days following the match.
Avoid explosive actions, such as sprinting or shooting drills, in the 48 hours
after a match.
Organize a debriefing and set realistic goals after the match.
Organize whole-body, cold-water immersion lasting 10–20 minutes at a
water temperature of 10–15°C. (This may be after the game or the day
after.)
Avoid stressful situations.
Customize recovery and don‟t oblige players to participate in recovery
strategies that could be perceived as stressful.
Explain the use of the recovery strategies.
Focus on mental recovery after the game.
135. Take home lesson
Recovery = manipulating the autonomic nervous
system -> stimulating parasympathetic dominance
Reduce psychosocio-physiological stress
