An investigation into performance characteristics of elite male and female soccer players in training and competition environments.

该项目的目的是确定足球表现的关键决定因素，以改善澳大利亚球队参加国际比赛的准备。建议进行三项研究。研究一将利用澳大利亚体育学院十年来男女足球运动员的体能表现和人体测量数据，确定精英运动员特有的体能表现标准。研究二将包括比赛分析，以描绘个人和团队表现的关键体能、技术和战术方面。研究三将确定优秀守门员特有的特征，这些特征可用于监测对训练和比赛的反应。

The aim of the project is to identify critical determinants of soccer performance that will improve preparation of Australian teams for international competition. Three studies are proposed. Study One will utilize a decade of physical performance and anthropometric data on male and female soccer players at the Australian Institute of Sport to identify physical performance standards characteristic of elite players. Study Two will comprise match analyses to delineate crucial physical, technical and tactical aspects of individual and team performance. Study three will identify characteristics specific to elite goalkeepers that may be used for monitoring responses to training and competition.
