What is the exercise intensity monitored by heart rate in professional, youth, and recreational soccer players during matches and training sessions?
Heart rate monitoring reveals that soccer matches elicit high exercise intensity (80-90% HRmax), with variations by playing position and match half, suggesting the utility of interval training and small-sided games.
