Figure 1. Illustration of inter-individual (major ranges), intra- (stretch index and centroids' distance to goals) and inter-team (distances between line-forces) variables used.

The lower left panel illustrates the distances between opposing horizontal (dtH1 and dtH2) and vertical line-forces (dtV1 and dtV2) in the 5v5 condition. The lower middle and right panels illustrate the calculation of horizontal and vertical line-forces in the underloaded team with 4 and 3 players, respectively. All fields used were 47.3×30.6 m (length × width). The overloaded team attacked the goal with a goalkeeper and the underloaded team attacked the mini-goals.
