The purpose of this study was to point out the characteristics of exercises and methods, and then to suggest a structure model in the preparatory stage in professional soccer. The instruments used in the research were articles published in journals indexed in Qualis CAPES, dissertations, books registered in the International Standard Book Number (ISSN). We found out that the mean of training is the exercise and the method is how to use it; practical methods have been treated with the utmost importance in sports. The discussion guides in the sense that the different exercises and methods are the practical elements of sports preparation, directly intervening in the organization of training as well as on the understanding that the greater the degree of correspondence is between the models used (exercise training) and competition, larger and more effective result its effects. Finally it is noted that in the current context of the sport, it’s necessary to show that the form of organization should seek the players’ performance in a short period of time, and preparation of professional soccer indicates the need for proposals for research involving systematic training.
