Players\u2019 external load was tracked with GPS technology (20-Hz), and heart rate (HR), blood lactate concentration (BL<jats:sub>c<\/jats:sub>), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were used to characterize players\u2019 internal load. Individual peak BL<jats:sub>c<\/jats:sub> was assessed with a 30-s all-out test on a nonmotorized treadmill (NMT).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared with SSGs, the RDs had a greater effect on external load and BL<jats:sub>c<\/jats:sub> (large and small, respectively). During SSGs players covered more distance with high-intensity decelerations (moderate to small). Muscular RPE was higher (small to large) in RDs than in SSGs. The production mode exerted a moderate effect on BL<jats:sub>c<\/jats:sub> while the maintenance condition elicited higher cardiovascular effects (small to large).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of this study showed the superiority of generic over specific drills in inducing LSA-related physiological responses. In this regard production RDs showed the higher postexercise BL<jats:sub>c<\/jats:sub>. Individual peak blood lactate responses were found after the NMT 30-s all-out test, suggesting this drill as a valid option to RDs. The practical physiological diversity among the generic and specific LSA drills here considered enable fitness trainers to modulate prescription of RD and SSG drills for LSA according to training schedule.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2016-0565","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,2]],"date-time":"2017-03-02T17:20:53Z","timestamp":1488475253000},"page":"1256-1263","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Long-Sprint Abilities in Soccer: Ball Versus Running Drills"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Carlo","family":"Castagna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Francini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Susana C.A.","family":"P\u00f3voas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"D\u2019Ottavio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"100","container-title":["International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/view\/journals\/ijspp\/12\/9\/article-p1256.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/downloadpdf\/journals\/ijspp\/12\/9\/article-p1256.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,19]],"date-time":"2022-05-19T18:31:24Z","timestamp":1652985084000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/view\/journals\/ijspp\/12\/9\/article-p1256.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,10]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1123\/ijspp.2016-0565","relation":{},"ISSN":["1555-0265","1555-0273"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1555-0265","type":"print"},{"value":"1555-0273","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,10]]}}}
