The aim of the study was to quantify the association between match running performance and success across a season in soccer teams competing within a European top league. We analyzed the match running performance data of all soccer teams from the German Bundesliga across the season 2012/13 (306 matches). The following match running performance data were used: total distance covered as well as number of running activities>18.0 km/h and > 22.7 km/h. Depending on the team's ball possession status, all match running performance data were also analyzed as those with and without ball possession. The success across the season was defined as the final competition points accumulated. The match running performance alone was not significantly correlated with the final points accumulated (best r=0.24; p=0.34). In contrast, positive-significant correlations were observed for the match running performance with ball possession (best r=0.77; p<0.01). However, of these latter correlations, only the total distance covered with ball possession was a significant predictor (p<0.01) and accounted for 60% of the variance (R(2)=0.60) in the final points accumulated. It is concluded that it is not the match running performance alone that is important for achieving success in German Bundesliga soccer teams, but rather its relation to technical/tactical skills with respect to ball possession.
本研究的目的是量化欧洲顶级联赛中参赛足球队在一个赛季内比赛跑动表现与比赛成绩之间的关联。我们分析了德国足球甲级联赛所有球队在2012/13赛季（306场比赛）的比赛跑动表现数据。使用了以下比赛跑动表现数据：总跑动距离以及速度>18.0千米/小时和>22.7千米/小时的跑动次数。根据球队的控球状态，所有比赛跑动表现数据还被分析为控球时和无控球时的数据。赛季成绩被定义为累计获得的最终比赛积分。仅比赛跑动表现与累计的最终积分没有显著相关性（最佳r = 0.24；p = 0.34）。相比之下，观察到控球时的比赛跑动表现存在显著正相关（最佳r = 0.77；p<0.01）。然而，在这些后一种相关性中，只有控球时的总跑动距离是一个显著预测因素（p<0.01），并且占累计最终积分方差的60%（R(2)=0.60）。得出的结论是：对于德国足球甲级联赛球队取得成功而言，重要的并非仅仅是比赛跑动表现，而是其与控球方面技术/战术技能的关系。
