Methodological Considerations When Quantifying High-Intensity Efforts in Team Sport Using Global Positioning System Technology

Purpose: Sprints and accelerations are popular performance indicators in applied sport. The methods used to define these efforts using athlete-tracking technology could affect the number of efforts reported. This study aimed to determine the influence of different techniques and settings for detecting high-intensity efforts using global positioning system (GPS) data. Methods: Velocity and acceleration data from a professional soccer match were...
