TI  - Quantification of training load during one-, two- and three-game week schedules 
      in professional soccer players from the English Premier League: implications for 
      carbohydrate periodisation.

AB  - Muscle glycogen is the predominant energy source for soccer match play, though 
      its importance for soccer training (where lower loads are observed) is not well 
      known. In an attempt to better inform carbohydrate (CHO) guidelines, we 
      quantified training load in English Premier League soccer players (n = 12) during 
      a one-, two- and three-game week schedule (weekly training frequency was four, 
      four and two, respectively). In a one-game week, training load was progressively 
      reduced (P < 0.05) in 3 days prior to match day (total distance = 5223 +/- 406, 
      3097 +/- 149 and 2912 +/- 192 m for day 1, 2 and 3, respectively). Whilst daily 
      training load and periodisation was similar in the one- and two-game weeks, total 
      accumulative distance (inclusive of both match and training load) was higher in a 
      two-game week (32.5 +/- 4.1 km) versus one-game week (25.9 +/- 2 km). In contrast, 
      daily training total distance was lower in the three-game week (2422 +/- 251 m) 
      versus the one- and two-game weeks, though accumulative weekly distance was 
      highest in this week (35.5 +/- 2.4 km) and more time (P < 0.05) was spent in speed 
      zones >14.4 km . h(-1) (14%, 18% and 23% in the one-, two- and three-game weeks, 
      respectively). Considering that high CHO availability improves physical match 
      performance but high CHO availability attenuates molecular pathways regulating 
      training adaptation (especially considering the low daily customary loads 
      reported here, e.g., 3-5 km per day), we suggest daily CHO intake should be 
      periodised according to weekly training and match schedules.
