The chosen sport for the case study was Football, and the study was to see the impact the four disciplines had on a footballer at the professional level. The four disciplines are as follows: Physiological, Psychological, Nutritional and Biomechanical. The study is to see how each discipline impacts professional footballers. Also how it can affect the body when it comes to their performance level.

A major discipline is physiology; football requires this discipline in many ways. A specific thing that can affect a footballer during a match would be how quickly a footballer fatigues. During a match on average an elite footballer would cover between 10km and 13km (Bangsbo 2014). This is primarily made up of walking and light running, with segments of high intense running. A very important physiological demand is the positions played in football, because when it comes to football the amount of distance a midfielder may cover would be more than what a central defender would cover (Mohr et al., 2003). When it comes to this physiological demand it is particularly important because when the ball is in possession the high intensity running would mainly be covered by the central attacking midfielders (Bradley et Al., 2013b) in comparison to a central defender who wouldn’t so a …show more content…

Biomechanics is a major demand in regards to football because, without biomechanics a footballer wouldn’t be able to understand the correct technique in kicking a ball. Biomechanics is key in terms of understanding what a beneficial role having the arm in a horizontal position(Shan G, Westerhoff, 2005) has in relation to keeping balance when kicking a football. Another key element biomechanics holds in regards to football is the types of controlled movement a footballer makes. On average premier league footballers make approximately 700 turns in a 90 minute game, (Bloomfield al

Using the Virtual Reality Training created by EON Sports, teams can prepare for what they will go against, but the players still have to work on technique for important skills like footwork, throwing, catching, etc. “The benefits could be significant from spending more time on non-contact, mentally focused training to limit wear and tear. But football requires physical technique work as well--and even the avatars won't ever be able to hit back. ’ You still need to go work on footwork, hand placement and all that, so we're that middle ground of being able to read

Head injuries have evolved into such a heavy topic, that many football programs are starting to take initiative, to show players in any level of football, the basics of how to properly tackle the opponent. For unknown reasons, defenders have forgotten the correct way to tackle and this has led to most of the injuries that have been accumulating over time. Nowadays, squaring up, thrusting your hip into your target and wrapping up, has been out the window. This tactic is overwhelming, as defenders have now become human torpedoes. By forcibly launching themselves into their target, they are putting both players at high risk of serious I hurt.

Touch football, is a sport that can be played anywhere at any time and the aim of the game is to score more touchdowns than your opponents by placing the ball in your opponent’s ‘touchdown zone’. Similar to most team sports touch football uses all 3 energy systems, ATP-PC, lactic acid and aerobic system throughout the sport. The body uses the 3 energy systems to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is used to contract or extend muscles to run or pass the ball. According to Amezdros (Queensland senior physical education 3rd edition, (2010) during a game of touch 80% of the energy produced is from the ATP-PC system while lactic acid system produces 8% , and aerobic system produces 12% of the bodies energy.

Due to the fact more force is needed for more acceleration, a player could continuously work on leg strength to better their shot on goal.
