The aim of this study was to examine whether match physical output can be predicted from the workload applied in training by professional soccer players. Training and load records two teams belonging Spanish First Second Division were collected through GPS technology over a season ( N = 1678 2441 records, respectively). factors playing position, period, quality opposition, category formation considered into analysis. level significance set at p ≤ .05. prediction models yielded conditional...
Previous studies investigating running distance in high performance soccer have led to contradictory evidence, potentially due ignoring contextual information during match phases. The present study therefore examined the relationship between and goal scoring a football for standardised score line. In sample of 302 matches from first German Bundesliga, was modelled as function teams’ team strength using logistic regression. Goodness fit assessed by prediction accuracy model utilising...
ABSTRACTVisual attention capacity impacts performance in different laboratory and real-world tasks positively. The present field-study extends for the first time gains from individuals to team performance. Our study examined of 88 soccer players create low vs. high teams (LACT HACT) who competed a controlled field-study. Positional data were gathered using player tracking systems (1 Hz) standardised 11 game. Key indicators (KPIs), which have been established match analysis research, measured...
Abstract The aims of this study were to analyse the physical responses professional soccer players during training considering contextual factors match location, season period, and quality opposition; establish prediction models sessions. Training data was obtained from 30 Spanish La Liga using global positioning technology (N=1365 performances). A decreased workload showed weeks prior home matches, showing large effects in power events, equivalent distance, total walk distance low-speed...
Abstract Two highly relevant aspects of football, namely forecasting results and performance analysis by means indicators, are combined in the present study analysing value in-play information terms event positional data further course football matches. Event from 50 matches, including more than 300 million datapoints were used to extract a total 18 indicators. Moreover, goals 30,000 additional matches have been analysed. Results suggest that surprisingly do not possess any informative on...
Abstract Scrutinizing public opinion is one of the central goals science as divergence between and scientific evidence can have negative consequences. The present study aims to further investigate alleged English ‘penalty curse’ determine if it be linked prevalent stereotype ‘English goalkeeper problem’. We analyzed a large sample 2379 penalty kicks that 629 different goalkeepers faced in World Cups European Championships, well Champions Europa League by comparing success rates nations...
