“…Players' accelerations were also recorded using a built-in accelerometer which operational sampling rate was of 100 Hz, in order to improve quality of speed detection (GPS, SPElite, GPsports, Australia). Validity of the GPS system used have been reported elsewhere (3,16,17,31,33). In a recently published comparative research (37) the GPS system used in this study showed to provide distances (in match categories similar to this study) that resulted near perfectly associated (r from 0.90 to 0.94) with those detected with a semi-automatic image-recognition system (25Hz) that has been validated and it is widely used for match analysis in professional European soccer (6).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between popular endurance field tests and physical match performance in elite male youth soccer players. Eighteen male young soccer players (age 14.4±0.1 years, height 1.67±4.8 cm, body mass 53.6±1.8 kg) were randomly chosen among a population of elite-level soccer players. Players were observed during international championship games of the corresponding age categories and randomly However the Hoff test was only significantly related with sprint distance (r=0.70, p=0.04).The Yo-Yo IR1 showed very large association with MSFT performance (r=0.89, p<0.0001). This study's results showed that Yo-Yo IR1 and MSFT test may be regarded as valuable tests to assess match fitness and subsequently guide training prescription in youth soccer players.The very large relationship between Yo-Yo IR1 and MSFT suggests their use according to 3 the period of the season and the aerobic-fitness level of the players. Due to the association of the Yo-Yo IR1 and MSFT with match physical performances these tests should be considered in talent selection and development.

“…The device was activated and satellite lock established for a minimum of 15 minutes before the commencement of each match (34) . The GPS technology has been shown to be a valid and reliable way of measuring distance and movement speeds in a range of high speed, intermittent, contact, and noncontact sports (8,12,26,27,35) . Specifically, the VX Sport GPS unit has more recently been examined by Malone et al (35) for accuracy and reliability during intermittent activity.…”

“…Recent technological innovations have made GPS athlete-tracking a convenient and popular method to quantify movement patterns and physical demands in sport (2,3,4,5,6,8,14,15,16) . GPS technology has been used to quantify the running demands of sports such as rugby league (5,6,7,20,29) , rugby union (42) , Rugby 7's (40) and Australian football (2,15,16,31) .…”

km.h -1 . Players completed 184 ± 40 accelerations which represent 2.6 ± 0.5 a.min -1 . There were significant differences between positional groups for both total running distance, high speed running distance and sprint distance, with midfielders covering more total and high speed running distance, compared to other positions (p<0.001). There was a reduction in high speed and sprint distance between the first and second half (p<0.001). Reductions in running performance were position dependant with the middle three positions experiencing the highest decrement in performance. The current study is the first to communicate a detailed description of match running performance during competitive elite Gaelic football match play.

“…This in turn highlights the specificity of these two drills in potentially targeting RSA and acceleration for soccer. The lack of significance regarding fast running and sprinting differences could be associated with GPS limitations in measuring high-speed movements (Barbero-Alvarez et al, 2010, Coutts and Duffield, 2010, Portas et al, 2010. Soccer and strength and conditioning coaches should be cognizant of this when interpreting time-motion data from SST drills.…”
