Objectives This study examined distances covered at low (1–2 ms− 2), moderate (2–3 ms−
2) and high (> 3 ms− 2) acceleration (L ACC, M ACC and H ACC respectively) and
deceleration (L DEC, M DEC, and H DEC respectively) during competitive football games.
Temporal and transient patterns of acceleration and deceleration were also examined.
Design Observational, repeated measures. Methods Thirty-six professional male
professional footballers were monitored using a 10 Hz non-differential global positioning …

Objectives: This study examined distances covered at low (1-2 m s-2), moderate (2-3 m s-2)
and high (> 3 m s-2) acceleration (LACC, MACC and HACC respectively) and deceleration
(LDEC, MDEC, and HDEC respectively) during competitive football games. Temporal and
transient patterns of acceleration and deceleration were also examined. Design:
Observational, repeated measures. Methods: Thirty-six professional male professional
footballers were monitored using a 10 Hz non-differential global positioning system …
