AB - The aim of this study is to analyse the distances travelled by professional players in friendly
matches using individualized intensity thresholds and to differentiate them by specific playing
positions, in order to use the results of the competition as a reference for the subsequent analysis
of task and training sessions conducted using GPS technology.
21 professional field players (28 ± 3.8 years, 179 ± 4.5 cm, 4.2 kg 75.2 ±) have been monitored
using 10 Spi Elite units with GPS receiver, triaxial accelerometer and integrated HR chip receiver
(GPSports Systems, Pty. Ltd., 2003, Australia). The results are shown for half of the match. The
total average distance covered (DTOT) has been 5052 ± 536m, the distance travelled at a speed
higher than vVO2max (DAI) is 351 ± 175m, the distance above the maximum speed threshold
(Dist. Z6) is 42 ± 37m. We conclude that: considering the differences observed between players
and between positions on the distance travelled in different specified areas, it highlights the
importance and the need to individualize the monitoring of the competition, in order to
individualize the training monitoring, and properly prepare the players according to the demands
of competition.
