Methods<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Match minutes and days since last match prior to NT arrival were collected for match exposure. Travel duration and time-zone difference were included as travel demands. Perceptual fatigue, soreness, sleep quality, and stress scores were collected via self-report questionnaire on arrival to NT. Musculoskeletal testing on day 1 of NT included knee to wall and hip internal and external rotation. Relative TL across the first 3 days of NT camp was measured via total distance, high-speed running\u00a0distance, very high-speed running distance, and accelerations and decelerations per minute. Linear mixed models determined the influence of independent variables on respective TL metrics, with the player included as a random effect. Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Total distance, high-speed running, very high-speed running, and decelerations per minute were all highest on day 3 (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u2009.001). Small relationships existed (R<\/jats:italic>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009<\u2009.15) between decreased total distance per minute and increased soreness (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.037), while decreased high-speed running per minute was associated with increased fatigue (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.017). Small associations existed between decreased accelerations per minute, increased hip internal rotation\u00a0(P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u2009.001), fatigue (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.033), and knee to wall (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.016), while decreased decelerations per minute were associated with increased soreness (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.001), knee to wall (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.024), and days between recent match and arrival (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.003). Conclusions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Very small relationships existed between fatigue, soreness, musculoskeletal screening, and prior match exposure with TL. The larger influence of camp day suggests that deliberate periodization of training is a major factor for prescription on arrival into NT duties.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2023-0418","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,28]],"date-time":"2024-10-28T20:13:32Z","timestamp":1730146412000},"page":"1500-1507","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Factors Informing Training Load During the Transition From Club to National Football Teams"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Joshua J","family":"Gould","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health, University of Technology Sydney, Ultimo, NSW, Australia"},{"name":"Football Australia, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4697-7784","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ewan","family":"Clements","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health, University of Technology Sydney, Ultimo, NSW, Australia"},{"name":"Football Australia, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabian","family":"Ehrmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Football Australia, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5641-1314","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rob","family":"Duffield","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health, University of Technology Sydney, Ultimo, NSW, Australia"},{"name":"Football Australia, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"r1","series-title":"J Sci Med Sport","first-page":"948","article-title":"Transitioning from club to national teams: training and match load profiles of international footballers","volume":"22","author":"Noor D","year":"2021","unstructured":"Noor D, McCall A, Jones M, Duncan C, Ehrmann F, Meyer T, Duffield R.
