Abstract: Modern football demands a series of dynamic and unpredictable movements. This study aimed to assess changes in the physical performance of players across two consecutive periods (2021/22 and 2022/23) and evaluate their levels according to field position and match outcome. Fifty players from one team of the National Greek League-2, a new institution in Greek football, participated in this study. Data from 672 measurements of physical performance were collected using Global Positioning System (GPS) during 58 matches. The measurements included Total Distance (TD), High-Speed Running (HSR), Very High-Intensity Speed Running (VHS), Maximal Sprining (MS), Distance/Time (D/T), High Metabolic Load Distance (HMLD), sprints and accelerations-decelerations. Non-parametric tests were used for evaluation. The players had a mean age of 20.5±1.1yrs. Defenders and midfielders accounted for 44.0% of the study subjects, with the majority of the 672 measurements (23.8%; k=160) were recorded in April. Almost all measurements showed a decrease in 2022/23 compared to 2021/22 (p<0.05), or were lower when the match outcome was a defeat compared to a draw/win (p<0.05). Defenders covered a greater mean TD (8236meters) than midfielders/forwards (7426 & 7255meters) (p=0.006) and had higher mean participation time (p<0.001). Midfielders demonstrated greater mean measurements of VHS, MS, HMLD, and sprints compared to defenders/forwards (p<0.05). The findings indicate that the time period, filed position, and match outcome significantly impact GPS measurements. These factors should be considered when planning and preparing teams for the league season.

Abstract: The judicious use of any resources has always been a primary concern of every institution in the country and around the world. This study aimed to assess the extent of implementation of cost-effective electrical initiative activities implemented by the University; identified the perceived level of implementation along manpower resources, electrical distribution system, policies and budgetary allocation of teaching personnel, non-teaching personnel and students; revealed the effectiveness of the said activities in the energy consumption of the University since 2014; and suggested other measures to enrich the implementation of cost-effective electrical energy management program of SORSU. It used descriptive-quantitative research design with 432 teaching, non-teaching and student-respondents. Document analysis, researcher-made survey questionnaire, interview and observations were used as data gathering instruments. The University has implemented several cost-cutting measures from July-September 2014 up to present. The perceived level of implementation was moderately implemented. Effectiveness of the cost-cutting measures was found to be effective due to the decrease trend in kilowatt usage during the period of implementation of the cost-cutting measures. Enhancement on the implementation of the cost-cutting measures is recommended.

Keywords: Cost effective, electrical energy management program, descriptive.
