Effects of match period and playing position on the individual and collective dynamics in professional soccer: a case study
This study aimed to compare the width, the length, the length per width ratio, and the stretch index between the first and the second halves in official soccer matches, and to compare the spatial exploration index between players from different positions. Seventeen professional soccer players from...
