¶ … Cooling Strategies
Price, M.J., Boyd, C. And Goosey-Tolfrey, V.L. 2009. The physiological effects of pre-event and midevent cooling during intermittent running in the heat in elite female soccer players Appl. Physiol. Nutr. Metab. 34: 942 -- 949 doi:10.1139/H09-078.
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of cooling strategies, which involved placing ice vests on elite female soccer players during simulated match play. This ice vests were placed on the soccer players at the beginning (PRE) and midpoint (MID) of exercise. Heat content and skin and rectal temperatures of the soccer players were determined at these time points and compared to no cooling (no ice vest). These temperatures were taken while the players were in a controlled heat environment, simulating hot weather. The main findings were that both cooling protocols before and during exercise were beneficial when compared with no cooling. In addition, cooling both before and during exercise was more...
The authors conclude that the extra 15 -- 20 min of cooling achieved for PRE+MID when compared with PRE-may translate into improved performance during "extra time" in soccer. According to the authors, when possible, midevent cooling in hot conditions should be considered.
The article overall was well written and understandable, placed within accessible scientific content. The questions the research addresses about adequate methods of cooling during intense exercise are definitely worthwhile answering. The approach is a well-conceived one: The use of ice vests to determine cooling strategies during activity in hot weather was well explained. The graphs nicely illustrated how temperature and heat content decreased during PRE and PRE+MID as compared to CON, although Figure 2 does not indicate what the projecting lines mean. There is adequate referencing of previous studies…
Soccer Ball Development of Soccer Ball Football is the game which has stirred the wave of craze across the globe. There is no other game which would have its fans in every part of the world.

S. than anywhere else in the world. Analysis: Observing the group as a whole and interviewing some of the individuals helped me record relevant data which could relate to the hypotheses made previously. My hypothesis about the players using the sport of soccer as a way to stay in shape was true. It allowed them to release mental stress accumulated over the day. They were however not essentially involved in any
Football and basketball may draw the spectators and cheerleaders, but soccer to me is like a chess game with my feet -- a mental and physical workout. I remember the lesson, every time I play, that like a chess game, you can't forget the presence of the many other players on your team and on the other side. My seriousness, even when playing casually, drives some of my friends
asses the advantages and disadvantages of bringing the Soccer World Cup to a city in the United States, this includes the economic, environmental and social impact. Soccer is a major sport around the world but it has yet to gain the top priority in sports among common Americans. It is widely regarded as the most watched game in different continents such as South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. There
Soccer The game that is selected for analysis in this assignment is soccer. The message of this game is that a concerted effort among disparate players (the notion of a team) is required to achieve success. That success, of course, is realized when one team is able to score more goals than the other at the conclusion of the game. However, to achieve this objective, it is necessary for 11
Racism in Euro Soccer According to numerous sources, including eyewitnesses, journalists and soccer fans, there is blatant racism, xenophobic behavior and anti-Semitism associated with Euro Soccer. This paper uses the available literature to point out instances of ugly behaviors, what people are saying about it and what perhaps can be done about it. The stories referenced in this paper were written prior to the 2012 Euro Soccer championships in Eastern Europe,
