Fahey, JT, Aldred, K, Greig, M, and Rhodes, D. Peak running speeds in professional male football: Influence of division and playing position. J Strength Cond Res 37(3): 636-640, 2023-Well-established physical demands of competitive professional football facilitate prescription and monitoring of training. However, many factors influence these physical demands with implications for efficacious practice. Match-play data were analyzed over 2 seasons using global positioning systems technology, differentiating English Championship (33 matches) and League One (27 matches) demands. Playing position categorized wide and central defenders and midfielders and forwards. Peak running speeds defined the outcome measure, assessing the influence of the competition level and playing position across 1, 5, and 10-minute rolling average durations using a linear mixed model. Significant effects were detected for the competition level (F1,324.5 = 5.44, p = 0.02) and playing position (F4,328.3 = 89.90, p < 0.001). League One matches demonstrated greater peak running speeds than Championship matches (mean difference = 2.72 m·min-1 [95% confidence intervals: 0.4, 5.0]). No difference was observed between central and wide midfielders (mean difference = 0.62 m·min-1 [95% confidence intervals: -3.1, 4.3]). Wide midfielders presented faster peak running speeds than forwards (mean difference = 18 m·min-1 [95% confidence intervals:14.1, 22.1], p < 0.05), central defenders (mean difference = 25 m·min-1 [95% confidence intervals: 21.7, 29.8], p < 0.05), and wide defenders (mean difference = 12 m·min-1 [95% confidence intervals: 8.2, 16.5], p < 0.05). Interaction effects were found for division*position (F4,328.3 = 2.57, p = 0.038) demonstrating greater running speeds in League One, except for central defenders. Wide midfielders presented greater peak 1-minute running speeds, whereas 5 and 10-minute peak running speeds were greatest in central midfielders. The sensitivity of peak running speeds to competition level and playing position has implications for training prescription, monitoring particularly when transitioning between competition levels, determining and monitoring positional training intensities, and objective targets for progressive overload during rehabilitation.
法伊，JT、奥尔德雷德，K、格雷格，M和罗兹，D。职业男子足球运动员的最高奔跑速度：联赛级别和比赛位置的影响。《力量与体能研究杂志》37(3): 636 - 640，2023年 - 竞技职业足球既定的身体需求有助于训练的规划和监测。然而，许多因素会影响这些身体需求，进而影响训练效果。使用全球定位系统技术对两个赛季的比赛数据进行了分析，区分了英格兰冠军联赛（33场比赛）和英甲联赛（27场比赛）的需求。比赛位置分为边后卫、中后卫、中场球员和前锋。最高奔跑速度被定义为结果指标，使用线性混合模型评估了在1分钟、5分钟和10分钟滚动平均时长内比赛水平和比赛位置的影响。检测到比赛水平（F1,324.5 = 5.44，p = 0.02）和比赛位置（F4,328.3 = 89.90，p < 0.001）有显著影响。英甲联赛的比赛展示出比冠军联赛更高的最高奔跑速度（平均差值 = 2.72米·分钟−1 [95%置信区间：0.4, 5.0]）。中前卫和边前卫之间未观察到差异（平均差值 = 0.62米·分钟−1 [95%置信区间：−3.1, 4.3]）。边前卫的最高奔跑速度比前锋更快（平均差值 = 1.8米·分钟−1 [95%置信区间：1.41, 2.21]，p < 0.05）、比中后卫更快（平均差值 = 2.5米·分钟−1 [95%置信区间：2.17, 2.98]，p < 0.05）、比边后卫更快（平均差值 = 1.2米·分钟−1 [95%置信区间：0.82, 1.65]，p < 0.05）。发现联赛级别*位置存在交互作用（F4,328.3 = 2.57，p = 0.038），表明除中后卫外，英甲联赛的奔跑速度更快。边前卫的1分钟最高奔跑速度更快，而中前卫的5分钟和10分钟最高奔跑速度最快。最高奔跑速度对比赛水平和比赛位置的敏感性对训练规划、监测（尤其是在不同比赛水平之间转换时）、确定和监测位置训练强度以及康复期间渐进性超负荷的客观目标具有重要意义。
