Special Report on Metabolic Power by Simone Lucchesi (Fitness Coach at Fc Sampdoria)

For many years athletic training has evolved thinking that the player was a middle-distance runner or a marathon runner. 

Football is a game of constant running called better "metabolic power constant".

In that idea, the accelerations and sprints have a crucial role. 

The concept of power is rarely used, 
introduced in football by prof. Di Prampero.

The power is the product of speed x acceleration (function), 
in other words is the summary of both parameters.

If we evaluate the match analisys of Fc Barcelona,  
considering the sprint race, 
we will see a game focused on acceleration (calculated on 3-5 meters), 
playing on short distances and rarely touch the 19.44 km / h on distances of 15-20 meters.

There are 5 areas of power Metabolic
MP1 = 0-10 W / kg
MP2 = 10-20 W / kg
MP3 = 20-35 W / kg
MP4 = 35-55 W / kg
MP5 => 55 Watt / kg

MPHI = MP3 + MP4 + MP5 is the work of High Intensity
MP2 is equivalent to 16 km / h and is considered the aerobic limit.

With the video analysis we built the model for each player.
A model  based on their role and the tactical deployment.
