Thus, duration (i.e., number of days) of the specific non-competitive periods (i.e., off- plus pre-season, off-season, pre-season, summer camp), the number of games (i.e., friendly, official and polled games) and days between games (i.e., \u2264 3, 4-5, or \u2265 6 days between two consecutive games) of the entire non-competitive period were recorded and compared by clubs participating in the European Championships (EU), only \u2018Serie A\u2019 (A) and promoted from \u2018Serie B\u2019 (B) during five and single seasons (i.e., 2009\/10-2013\/14). Due to the short B off-season duration (2009\/10-2013\/14, 2010\/11, 2011\/12, 2012\/13, 2013\/14, p\u2264.001), effects between clubs emerged also for the off- plus preseason (2009\/10-2013\/14, EU vs A, p\u2264.01, EU vs B, p\u2264.01, A vs B, p\u2264.001; 2011\/12, 2012\/13, 2013\/14, p\u2264.001). Nevertheless, no difference between clubs resulted for the pre-season. Reduced duration of summer camps was reported by the EU (i.e., 2009\/10-2013\/14, 2009\/10, 2013\/14, p\u2264.001). A higher number of official games were played by EU than A (i.e., 2009\/10-2013\/14, p\u2264.001; 2010\/11, p\u2264.01). No effect emerged for the days between games. Therefore, despite the longer \u2018Serie B\u2019 schedule and EU preliminary UEFA games that determined the off-season restriction, clubs demonstrated the tendency to guarantee satisfactory pre-season duration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/hukin-2015-0151","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,15]],"date-time":"2016-04-15T21:28:42Z","timestamp":1460755722000},"page":"145-155","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Preseason Strategies of Italian First League Soccer Clubs in Relation to their Championship Ranking: A Five-Year Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Fabio Massimo","family":"Francioni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Movement, Human and Health Sciences, University of Rome \u2018Foro Italico\u2019, Rome, Italy"}]},{"given":"Antonio Jose","family":"Figueiredo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Corrado","family":"Lupo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Motor Science Research Center, School of Exercise and Sport Science, S.U.I.S.M., Department of Medical Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy"}]},{"given":"Daniele","family":"Conte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Movement, Human and Health Sciences, University of Rome \u2018Foro Italico\u2019, Rome, Italy"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Capranica","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Movement, Human and Health Sciences, University of Rome \u2018Foro Italico\u2019, Rome, Italy"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Tessitore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Movement, Human and Health Sciences, University of Rome \u2018Foro Italico\u2019, Rome, Italy"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021040712132119538_j_hukin-2015-0151_ref_001_w2aab3b8c75b1b7b1ab2ab1Aa","unstructured":"Bompa TO.
