Italian term

scatti e allunghi

Italian to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation soccer-related
These are two separate terms but I think they should be considered together in one phrase. The source sentence: "Dal punto di vista fisico, come testimoniano *gli scatti e gli allunghi* cui [name of player] si è sottoposto negli ultimi giorni, il risultato raggiunto è buono.'' This is from an article describing a player's recovery from an injury. I think the sentence refers to the player's attempts to begin playing again, but I'm unfamiliar with these sports terms. Grazie.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 bursts (springs) and forward passes
4 sprints and lunges
4 Sprints and dashes
3 short sprints and sustained sprints

E grazie di nuovo a tutti per i vostri suggerimenti :)
Joseph Tein (asker) Jun 7, 2008:
Thank you Vittorio for your comment. I think the 'sprints and forward passes' were ways in which the player prepared himself gradually to get back into the game; a later sentence says " Adesso bisogna valutare l’impatto con il calcio vero e proprio."
Vittorio Ferretti Jun 7, 2008:
to test the fitness no "forward passes" are used, which are rather a question of skill
TrishCivitella Jun 6, 2008:
Oops! Thanks for that! I guessed soccer anyway for some reason and I stick to my answer. Cheers.

E' il calcio - the real 'football'

L'allungo nel calcio è FORWARD PASS
Lo scatto è BURST o SPRING.

Ovviamente si tratta di un errore nella trascrizione del termine, è SPRINT non SPRING

Comunque per FORWARD PASSES sono sicura al 100% perchè gli allunghi hanno traduzioni diverse in relazione ai vari tipi di sport ad esempio extended lunge per la scherma, reach per il pugilato, spurt per il ciclismo e forward pass per il calcio ( spiegazione da dizionario)
per quanto riguarda il termine scatto ho trovato questo rif:
SPRINT : IN BRIEF: A short run or race at full speed. The soccer player had to sprint to the goal to catch up to the ball.
http://www.answers.com/topic/sprint?cat=technology

Quindi in alternativa a burst puoi utilizzare SPRINT
Peer comment(s):
agree James (Jim) Davis : No springs please, bursts maybe, sprints definitely

Thanks James
neutral Giovanni Guarnieri MITI, MIL : solo una piccola considerazione a 'tempo scaduto'... gli allunghi in questo caso non sono 'forward passes' ma 'sprints'. Il calciatore si sta allenando nella corsa dopo un infortunio, effettuado appunto 'bursts' e 'sprints', senza palla!

Grazie Giovanni per il tuo intervento, i commenti sono sempre graditi, anche se rimango comunque della mia idea. Grazie mille

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Brava Olga, thanks again. I'm going to use 'sprints and passes' in my translation because this makes most sense in the context of a soccer/calcio player who is recovering from an injury, and is practicing his moves before playing full matches again."

sprints and lunges

These would be movements putting a lot of strain on an athlete, so I think they may work in most team sports.

Ciao Trish e grazie. Look above - I wrote 'soccer-related.'

Sprints and dashes

I used to run the 100 dash and 200 meters dash. Not to mention football (not the American game!).

short sprints and sustained sprints

From what I've read in football journalism, scatti are short sprints and allunghi are slightly longer but still at full pace, they are commonly used as part of the warm up training to allow players to come up to match pace and be able to change pace quickly. Definitely nothing to do with forward passes!
