Abstract
This study examined positional differences in the intermittent nature of efforts during professional football matches and compared two analytical models: one using a fixed metabolic power threshold (Pmet20) and another based on the relationship between oxygen consumption and metabolic power (VO2–Pmet). Data were collected from 24 First Division players in Cyprus across 50 matches during the 2022–2023 season using GPS technology (WIMU Pro System). High and low metabolic load efforts were analyzed.
