“…Characterizing movement patterns and understanding the physical demands of team sports are crucial for the construction of training drills, match simulations and team strategy [7,22]. Global Positioning System (GPS) technology can be used to quantify the type, duration, and frequency of discrete movements making up the intermittent activity patterns in team sports [2,8].…”

The ability to change velocity rapidly is a key element of field-based sports. This study quantified the acceleration and deceleration profiles of soccer players during match play. Global positioning system measures were collected from 20 male soccer players competing in the Australian Hyundai A-League during 58 matches. Match data were organized into ten 9 min periods (i. e., P1: 0–9 min) and the time spent at moderate (1–2 m·s−2) and high (>2 m·s−2) acceleration and deceleration thresholds were quantified. Additionally, a novel deceleration: acceleration ratio was quantified to identify the transient nature of deceleration activity. Linear mixed models were used to model the acceleration and deceleration profiles. All acceleration and deceleration metrics displayed negative logarithmic curves within each half. There was no change in the ratio of high deceleration: acceleration; however, a significant increase in the ratio of moderate deceleration:acceleration was evident. Using negative logarithmic curves to illustrate the acceleration and deceleration decay provides a novel methodological approach to quantify the high-intensity actions during match play. A decrease in the time spent decelerating throughout a match may be attributed to a lack of opportunity. Practitioners can use the coefficients, intercepts, and deceleration: acceleration ratios to monitor a player’s deceleration profile in match play.

“…Activities of lower intensity, such as jogging and walking, tend to dominate players’ work-rate profiles, emphasising the predominantly aerobic nature of the game. However, several authors have stressed the importance of sprints and very high-intensity running for the actual outcomes of games [ 15 , 17 ]. High-intensity running is one of the most important indicators of physical activity in elite soccer because it corresponds with the decisive short and intense actions that characterise the effort made by players [ 18 , 19 ].…”

“…Current studies of motor activity by zones in male footballers are missing, except for a few (Gregson et al, 2010;Dellal et al, 2011;Bojkowski et al, 2015;Chmura et al, 2017). According to Dupont et al (2010) there is a big difference between the coefficient of variation in the individual Sprint and Running with high intensity.…”

“…This may be due to the results achieved by Castellano et al (2014), which indicate a lack of statistical reliability of the distance covered between players at different levels. According to the authors, the highly intensive actions that depend on the anaerobic energy system are those that separate the successful teams from the others (Mohr et al, 2003;Rampinini et al, 2009;Bangsbo, 2014;Broich et al, 2014;Chmura et al, 2017). Other authors, such as Green (1992), Tumilty (1993), disagree with this view, but their research was made at a time when football did not have such demands on the preparation of the player.…”

The focus of the research is the motion characteristics of the teams which participated in the World cup 2018 in Russia. For the purpose of the research we collected the data from all the matches in the knock out phase of the tournament. We divided the results for every position during the halves and calculated the total distance covered. This way we could get an idea of the intensity and the profile of elite soccer players. In the analyses we included 273 players that played in the knock out phase. As a result of the research, we found that the goalkeeper had total distance covered of 4061,59 metеrs; defenders had a 9352 metеrs; midfielders had a 10708 metеrs and strikers had a 9731 metеrs. It is interesting that the total distance covered during the second half is greater than in the first one. Conclusion of the research is that the total distance covered is different for all of the researched positions which is a predisposition for disclosing the motor profile of the players. From the study of motor activity in football at world championships we can draw the following conclusions: 1) The results are comfirmation that even at a World Cup the performance characteristics are greatly influenced by position of play; 2) The higher total distance covered during the second half suggests extremely high aero bic capabilities of elite football players.
