Resumen de The match running performance of players on three different competitive standards in norwegian soccer

Atle Hole Saeterbakken, Vidar Andersen

• Time-motion analyses techniques (i.e. video, GPS or radio signal systems) used to quantify match running performance in soccer have increased in the last decade(Bradley et al., 2013). Sport science has enabled the identification of physical capacities of different playing positions, leagues, and performance levels with the information used to improve training and testing protocols (Bush, Barnes, Archer, Hogg, & Bradley, 2015). While the majority of these studies have included professional soccer players in the top European leagues, little is known concerning running performance in lower ranked leagues or changes in running performance for a team that is promoted to a higher competitive standard.

  The aim of the study was to compare the running performance between three competitive standards and to examine the effects of being promoted to a higher league in Norwegian football
