Approaches and level of analysis of the physical demonstration of professional soccer players. Level 3 (part 4).

Today we start with the velocity individualization issue, and how it can affect to the player analysis or also the team load analysis.
In this introduction we see how the individualization of the velocity thresholds for a spanish first division professional soccer team have been stablished.
It is the base information for a better understanding of the methodology used for the comparison between two different approaches when analyzing the distances ran by, in this case, spanish professional soccer players (Primera división in 2007-08 season).
After this first information, we will go in the next post for the first comparison between data obtained with this individualization approach and data from a general approach that uses an absolute threshold for all players.

Stay tuned!
