Table 2.
Simulations to equate to soccer dimensions (6400 m2/22 players = ~291 m2/players), changing the current court dimensions.
| Variables | Soccer | Futsal | Basketball | Handball | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| field/court dimension length x width (m) * | A | 100 × 64 | 38 × 20 | 28 × 15 | 40 × 20 |
| total field/court dimension (m2) * | B | 6400 | 760 | 420 | 800 |
| normalized total dimension (% of soccer) | C | 100% | 11.9% | 6.6% | 12.5% |
| number of players inside field or court | D | 22 (11 vs. 11) | 10 (5 vs. 5) | 10 (5 vs. 5) | 14 (7 vs. 7) |
| number of players on field or court (% of soccer) | E | 100% | 45.4% | 45.4% | 63.6% |
| area per player (B/D) (m2/player) | F | 291 | 76 | 42 | 57 |
| area per player (B/D) (% of soccer) | G | 100% | 26% | 14.4% | 19.6% |
| “increasing A” (m) to equalize soccer (F) | H | - | 74 × 39 | 74 × 39 | 90 × 45 |
| “increasing B” from H (m2) | I | - | 2886 | 2886 | 4050 |
| equalized area per player (I/D) (m2/player) | J | 291 | 289 | 289 | 289 |
