Title How World Cup Athletes Gain A Leg Up In Extra-Time Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet TUN The University Network Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 12/07/18 Description Players are less likely to be involved in build-up play during extra-time and are less precise with passes and dribbles.
Small case studies have suggested that playing extra-time can affect recovery time and performance in subsequent matches, though more expansive studies are required to draw concrete conclusions.URL https://www.tun.com/blog/world-cup-athletes-gain-a-leg-up-in-extra-time/ Persons Liam Harper Title The Tricks To Playing Extra Time In The World Cup Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet eurasiareview.com Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 6/07/18 Description We have looked at a lot of the physiological responses to explain this and the main one is a change in energy substrate use. Typically, towards the end of a 90-minute game you start to reduce the amount of muscle glycogen (stored carbohydrate). So it is likely this reduces further during extra time. Muscle glycogen stores are the source that contributes most to high-intensity running and sprinting, which is crucial to successful performance in football.

Title Secret of extra time is in the gel, says expert Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet Yorkshirepost.co.uk Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 5/07/18 Description For the consequences of extra time only “intervention strategies” were likely to be able to combat the fatigue that set in after the first 90 minutes.

Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet bjsm.bmj.com Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 3/07/18 Description Interestingly, the effects of extra-time may persist until long after the final whistle. It has previously been reported that matches requiring extra-time hinder performance in tests that are typically used to monitor the readiness to train of players for at least 48 h. Indeed, a case report also highlights that when 64 h separated consecutive matches, there may be a detrimental effect of a match requiring extra-time on performance in the next 90 minute match; although the consequences for teams, as opposed to individual players, remains to be determined when squad rotations may occur. Nevertheless, it appears that extra-time has negative consequences for soccer players; findings that make the success of Portugal in the 2016 UEFA European Championships (Euro2016) even more impressive as three out of their four matches in the knockout stages, including the final, required 120 minutes of match-play.
