| Resumo: | Monitoring a Soccer's load impact is essential for sporting performance. There are numerous methods of quantifying training load, both for internal and external loading is a key factor to improve the performance of soccer player. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no previous studies investigating soccer wellness with questionnaires at least in young soccer player and in a championship of four continuous days. This study aimed to explore the wellness of young soccer players during the final phase of an autonomic championship. A total of 18 U14 young, male soccer players of Andalusian autonomic soccer team aged 13.11 ± 0.32 years old agreed to participate. All the players performed the wellness questionnaire three hours before the match during four continuous days. Repeated measures ANOVAs showed significant different during the championship in Sleep quality (p=0.01), stress (p=0.01), and Fatigue (p=0.04). Positive moderate correlations were found between percentage of change of Sleep Quality and percentage of change of Stress (r=.48, p=.047). In addition, multilinear regression analysis revealed that percentage of change of sleep quality was a predictor of the percentage of change of stress, F (1.15) = 4.69, p = 0.04, r = 0.48, r2 = 0.23, adjusted r = 0.18, SE= 0.22. Sleep quality, psychological stress, and fatigue are sensible variables to young players´ exposure to congested fixture calendars such as tournaments. In addition, sleep quality is useful to predict players´ stress. Therefore, coaches from teams in formation should use wellness questionnaire to take decisions in load progression previous to the tournaments, or team line up and substitutions during them. |
