We are finishing the experimental design to start a new research and we are in doubt about the best test to evaluate the kinetics of physical performance after a football match. We are evaluating between 10m, 20m, 30m, Vertical jump, Change of Direction (COD) tests.
Nice effort. Well done! You may also consider including the rate of force development and a reactive agility test. Wish you the best of success with your project! Kind regards George
Try the:
Vertical jump test,
Broad jump test
Rate force development
countermovement jump test
1 mile run
I suggest to assess performance according to the demand of playing positions.
You may want to investigate some of the US ODP testing we conducted and published in the article I've attached with this response. (Vanderford ML, Meyers MC, Skelly WA, Stewart CC, Hamilton KL. Physiological and sport skill characteristics of Olympic Developmental soccer athletes. J Strength Cond Res. 2004;18(2):334-342)
Also, I would suggest being more specific on certain assessments--for instance, with the vertical jump--you may want to decide on using either the squat jump (VJS) or the countermovement jump (VJC). Both have their pros and cons. Looking forward to seeing your results.
accelerations and decelerations contribute to neuromuscular fatigue.
Potentially looking at the relationship between the change of direction and reactive strength from 10/5 repeated jump test (harper .2011) may be of interest.
If players are wearing GPS you can look at acceleration and deceleration data and see how the volume and intensity of both impact reactive strength and change of direction performance.
Nice responses!
I would like to add that power/velocity values against same absolute loads may inform of acute state of fatigue.
I propose that sprinting ability would be better measured using tests that include direction changes, rather than with linear tests used traditionally.
Repeat sprint ability.
30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test.
Probably, in the future, the measurements shall be carried out to assess performance according to the demand of playing positions.
To me, depend on playing position, age-category and performance level. In this sense, this is my stantard battery test to assess performance in highly-experienced soccer players:

Thanks Michael C. Meyers , 9+we opted for the two jump tests (VJS, VJC), sprint tests, in addition to the GPS measurements. We are working with a professional team and we still do not have equipment to measure ventilatory thresholds. We appreciate your help. Your paper has been forwarded to my work team.
HI Diego,
I'd compose the following test battery:
1) 30-15 IFT
2) Speed in 10-20-30-40m
3) 5-0-5 test obtaining COD deficit and Assymmetry
4) CMJ and SJ
5) Rate of force development
6) Body composition in general...
Hope to have contributed and wish all the best.
Regards,

It is clear that the match provides the most specific training stimulus. Then, it is self explenantory that the match itself can also be considered as the most specific test. In my opinion, „it is all in the match“…and you can get all relevant information via player tracking technology.
I used, for evaluating the performance of soccer players, several questionnaires:
-Game performance assessment instrument
- Battey of Physical abilities: strenght, indurance, flexibilty and speed
- Tecnichal test
I suggest this @Alberto Filter Ruger's perfect answer.

We need to rate the players on athleticism by grading their physical qualities such as speed, aggressiveness, and strength, and you will also want to rate their technique by grading their ball handling skills, passing ability, and shooting skills
Repeated sprints and some agility tests can be used as well to assess their performance status. Also, highly recommend Alberto Filter Ruger 's suggestions.
In my opinion, we can assess the performance by the category of shots make on the target, defensive error or positive, accuracy passing and team work played.
