Analysis of the quantity of running of one croatian soccer team during the match

The aim of this study was to quantify and compare the distances covered by football players in a match of the Croatian first division. The distances sum were divided according to running velocity (slow, moderate and fast) and team position (defender, midfielder, attacker). The ANOVA revealed no statistically significant differences between players at different team positions for any running speed category as well as for overall running distance (p>0, 05). However, the distance sum in the second half (1477&plusmn ; 310 m) was significantly lower than the distance sum in the first half (1800&plusmn ; 243 m, p<0, 01), mostly for the higher quantity of slow running in the first half of the matches. Correlations between match success and running distance sums are not statistically significant (p>0, 05) although presence of tendency with moderate and overall running sum. The most often players repeated section of running on 10 m and minimum number of times section of running on 50 m.
