GPS-Tracked Running Performance Analysis of Football Thai League

Football Thai league, GPS Tracking, Performance Analysisบทคัดย่อ
Understanding running performance during a football match is important so that coaches can use this information to prepare the athlete’s physical readiness. Match running performance has widely been investigated in many professional football eagues across the world. However, there are a few studies that have investigated match-running performance in Thai football players, particularly in different tiers of professional football teams. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore and ompare match running performance from each team of Thai League 1 (T1) and Thai League 2 (T2). Thirty-one professional male football players from T1 (n = 17) and T2 (n = 14) were recruited from the football Thai league competition 2022/2023. Total distance (TD), high metabolic load distance (HMLD), high-speed running (HSR), and sprint distance (SD) were collected using the GPS tracking system (STAT Sports Apex Units, UK). Four home matches from each team were collected and analyzed. Independent t-test revealed no significant differences in TD (p = 0.678) and HMLD (p = 0.157). However, significant differences in HSR and SPD were found between the two groups. This might indicate that the T1 players had higher speed compared to T2 probably due to the intensity of the match. The performance of football Thai league teams were quite up to the standard of international professional leagues in the United Kingdom and Spain. These findings can help coaches design training programs and match strategies more effectively.
