“…In contrast, the necessary shots for a goal increase with more passes per possession [17]. Hoppe, Slomka, Baumgart, Weber & Freiwald [47] used the final points accumulated by each team during one season in the German Bundesliga. They analyzed the running performance with and without ball possession of the teams.…”

Background:Despite the popularity of football, the analysis of success factors in football remains a challenge. While reviews on performance indicators in football are available, none focuses solely on the identification of success factors and addresses the large and growing body of recent research up until 2016. Objective:To find out what determines success in football and to organize the body of literature, a systematic literature review analyzing existing studies with regard to success factors in football was undertaken. Methods:The studies included in this review had to deal with performance indicators related to success in football. The studies were published in 2016 or before. The initial search revealed 19,161 articles. Finally, sixty-eight articles were included in this review. The studies were clustered with regard to comparative analyses, predictive analyses and analyses of home advantage. Results:In total, 76 different variables were investigated in the reviewed papers. It appeared that the most significant variables are efficiency (number of goals divided by the number of shots), shots on goal, ball possession, pass accuracy/successful passes as well as the quality of opponent and match location. Moreover, new statistical methods were used to reveal interactions among these variables such as discriminant analysis, factor analysis and regression analysis. The studies showed methodological deficits such as clear operational definitions of investigated variables and small sample sizes. Conclusion:The review allows a comprehensive identification of critical success factors in football and sheds light on utilized methodological approaches. Future research should consider precise operational definitions of the investigated variables, adequate sample sizes and the involvement of situational variables as well as their interaction.

“…Only total distance with ball possession was a significant predictor for final points (p<0.01). They concluded that not only running performance is important for success, but rather the relation to technical/tactical skill regarding ball possession [47]. …”

“…The physical demands of match-play have been quantified in the English Premier League (Bradley et al, 2009;Di Salvo, Gregson, Atkinson, Tordoff, & Drust, 2009), Italian Serie A Vigne, Gaudino, Rogowski, Alloatti, & Hautier, 2010), Spanish La Liga (Castellano, Blanco-Villaseñor, & Alvarez, 2011), French Ligue 1 (Carling, 2010), German Bundesliga (Hoppe, Slomka, Baumgart, Weber, & Freiwald, 2015) in addition to the UEFA European Champions League (Bradley, Dellal, Mohr, Castellano, & Wilkie, 2014;Di Salvo et al, 2010). The research results suggest that the English Premier League (EPL) is one of the most physically intense Leagues in Europe (Bradley et al, 2009;Dellal et al, 2011;Di Salvo et al, 2009).…”

“…However, maximum sprint speeds are important factors in the functional assessment of players, and are specifically targeted during training interventions in soccer [41,42]. Similar arguments can be used for mid- and long-term running endurance performance [43,44]. The methodology that we describe here allows direct assessment of these performances.…”

The relationship between movement speed and duration during soccer matches

The relationship between the time duration of movement (t(dur)) and related maximum possible power output has been studied and modeled under many conditions. Inspired by the so-called power profiles known for discontinuous endurance sports like cycling, and the critical power concept of Monod and Scherrer, the aim of this study was to evaluate the numerical characteristics of the function between maximum horizontal movement velocity (HSpeed) and t(dur) in soccer. To evaluate this relationship, GPS data from 38 healthy soccer players and 82 game participations (≥30 min active playtime) were used to select maximum HSpeed for 21 distinct t(dur) values (between 0.3 s and 2,700 s) based on moving medians with an incremental t(dur) window-size. As a result, the relationship between HSpeed and Log(t(dur)) appeared reproducibly as a sigmoidal decay function, and could be fitted to a five-parameter equation with upper and lower asymptotes, and an inflection point, power and decrease rate. Thus, the first three parameters described individual characteristics if evaluated using mixed-model analysis. This study shows for the first time the general numerical relationship between t(dur) and HSpeed in soccer games. In contrast to former descriptions that have evaluated speed against power, HSpeed against t(dur) always yields a sigmoidal shape with a new upper asymptote. The evaluated curve fit potentially describes the maximum moving speed of individual players during the game, and allows for concise interpretations of the functional state of team sports athletes.
