How do the physical and physiological demands of training and official football match for recreational players compare to those of semi-professionals?

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Playing football at very different competitive levels can lead to different physical and physiological demands. Daily routines of these practitioners can also show differences in terms of leisure time, main professional occupations, among other activities. Therefore, understanding the physical and physiological demands between recreational and Semi-Professional players is crucial for designing appropriate training programs and assessing potential health benefits. We compared physical and physiological demands, particularly, considering external load at different heart rate (HR) intensity zones, between recreational and Semi-Professional football players by means of an ecological approach. We evaluated internal and external load related variables during i) a typical week of training and ii) a 90-min 11-vs.-11 official football match in recreational (
