Methods of monitoring the training and match load and their relationship to changes in fitness in professional youth soccer players (2012)
Journal Article
Akubat, I., Patel, E., Barrett, S., & Abt, G. (2012). Methods of monitoring the training and match load and their relationship to changes in fitness in professional youth soccer players. Journal of sports sciences, 30(14), 1473-1480. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2012.712711

Previous studies examining methods of monitoring the training and match load in soccer players have simply compared those methods to each other, not to changes in fitness. Training and match load measures from nine professional youth soccer players w...

The effects of a constant sprint-to-rest ratio and recovery mode on repeated sprint performance (2011)
Journal Article
Abt, G., Siegler, J. C., Akubat, I., & Castagna, C. (2011). The effects of a constant sprint-to-rest ratio and recovery mode on repeated sprint performance. Journal of strength and conditioning research, 25(6), 1695-1702. https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0b013e3181dbdc06

It is unclear if a constant sprint-to-rest ratio allows full performance recovery between repeated sprints over different distances. This is important for the development of sprint-training programs. Additionally, there is conflicting evidence on whe... Read More about The effects of a constant sprint-to-rest ratio and recovery mode on repeated sprint performance.

Intermittent exercise alters the heart rate-blood lactate relationship used for calculating the training impulse (TRIMP) in team sport players (2011)
Journal Article
Akubat, I., & Abt, G. (2011). Intermittent exercise alters the heart rate-blood lactate relationship used for calculating the training impulse (TRIMP) in team sport players. Journal of science and medicine in sport / Sports Medicine Australia, 14(3), 249-253. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2010.12.003

Objectives: The training impulse (TRIMP) quantifies training dose by weighting heart rate according to the relationship between fractional elevation in heart rate (Delta HR) and blood lactate concentration (BLa). This study compared the physiological... Read More about Intermittent exercise alters the heart rate-blood lactate relationship used for calculating the training impulse (TRIMP) in team sport players.
