This thesis aims to provide a new proposal to monitor accelerations and decelerations, by addressing those challenges: the use of minimum effort duration, the utilization of fixed and arbitrary thresholds, and by highlighting the importance of accelerations and decelerations efforts in agility, change of direction speed, and speed displacements.engCarga de treinamentoVelocidadeThe role of acceleration and deceleration in agility, change of direction speed and running in soccer players’ movementsdoctoral thesis
