ABSTRACT
In soccer, each game lasts a total of 90 min, 45 min for each half. During a game in which defence and offence alternate repeatedly, players, using various ball techniques, perform a variety of actions ranging from some at a low speed to others at full speed. Furthermore, the players are free to move widely throughout the field. In planning training programmes for soccer players, therefore, it is important to study movements in the game in order to establish the type of physical fitness required.
