Data presented as mean ± SD and are stratified by playing position (DEF, defender; MID, midfielder; ATT, attacker; ALL, all positions).
TD, total distance; HSR, high-speed running distance (m > 19.8 km·h−1); SPR, sprinting distance (m > 25.2 km·h−1); ACC, number of accelerations (>3 m·s−2); DEC, number of decelerations (<-3 m·s−2).
