In this study, the effects of a prolonged period of fixture congestion (8 successive official
matches in 26 days) on physical performance and injury risk and severity in a professional …

Introduction: Competitive soccer results in acute physiological and perceptual disturbances
lasting up to 96-h, yet multiple games are often played with 72-h rest. Contextual factors …

This study aimed to analyse match availability, participation, and muscle injury incidence
and to compare the effect of time intervals between matches (3–4 versus 6–7 days) on …

It has been proposed that match congestion in elite soccer results in residual fatigue and
underperformance in ensuing competition due to insufficient recovery time. In this article …
