This study aimed to investigate the potential differences in the match running performance of professional soccer players 5 min. before scoring and conceding a goal in the Polish Ekstraklasa. The sample consisted of 278 matches with 570 goals scored during official matches of the 2022/23 Polish Ekstraklasa season. All data was collected utilising the computerised multiple-camera optical tracking system TRACAB. Total distance covered (TD), standing distance (StD; < 0.72 km h), walking distance (WD; 0.73-7.2 km h), jogging distance (JG; 7.21-14.4 km h), running distance (RD; 14.41-19.8 km h), high-speed running distance (HSR; 19.81-25.2 km h) and sprinting distance (SprD; > 25.2 km h) were analysed in 5-min intervals prior to a goal scored for both teams. The employed linear mixed models showed that all examined match-running performance metrics were higher in teams that scored a goal compared to teams that conceded a goal. Within 5 min before scoring a goal in Polish Ekstraklasa matches, the scoring team produced significantly greater TD (∆ 95%CI 256.8-300.4 m; p = 0.001), WD (∆ 95%CI 52.3-95.8 m; p = 0.001), JG (∆ 95%CI 100.5-144.1 m; p = 0.001) and RD (∆ 95%CI 16.2-59.8 m; p = 0.001) compared to the conceding team, although no differences were found for HSR and SprD. These results demonstrate the enhanced identification potential of key physical performance factors influencing goal scoring in the Polish Ekstraklasa, thereby optimising the training process and improving overall performance. To enhance the effectiveness of soccer training, coaching and performance staff should consider this study's findings, that indicate an increase in the volume of medium- and low-intensity running efforts preceding a goal.
本研究旨在探究波兰超级联赛中，职业足球运动员在进球前 5 分钟和失球前 5 分钟的跑动表现差异。样本包括 2022/23 赛季波兰超级联赛 278 场比赛中的 570 个进球，所有数据均通过计算机化多摄像机光学跟踪系统 TRACAB 收集。在距离进球前 5 分钟，分析总跑动距离（TD）、静止跑动距离（StD；<0.72km/h）、步行跑动距离（WD；0.73-7.2km/h）、慢跑跑动距离（JG；7.21-14.4km/h）、跑动距离（RD；14.41-19.8km/h）、高速跑动距离（HSR；19.81-25.2km/h）和冲刺跑动距离（SprD；>25.2km/h）。线性混合模型表明，与失球球队相比，进球球队的所有跑动表现指标均更高。在波兰超级联赛中，距离进球前 5 分钟内，进球球队的 TD（增量 95%CI 256.8-300.4m；p=0.001）、WD（增量 95%CI 52.3-95.8m；p=0.001）、JG（增量 95%CI 100.5-144.1m；p=0.001）和 RD（增量 95%CI 16.2-59.8m；p=0.001）均显著高于失球球队，但 HSR 和 SprD 则无差异。这些结果表明，在波兰超级联赛中，对影响进球的关键体能表现因素的识别能力得到了增强，从而优化了训练过程，提高了整体表现。为了提高足球训练、教练和表现工作人员的效果，他们应考虑到本研究结果，即进球前中低强度跑动量增加。
