Running data for every player on both teams
Distance, high-speed running, sprints, accelerations and top speed, measured from the match video while each player is on camera. Nothing to wear, and the opponent is measured too.
- Metrics
- Distance, high-speed running, sprints, accelerations, top speed
- Both teams
- Every player the camera sees, yours and theirs
- Honesty
- Marked provisional; an unsure speed is left blank
- Outputs
- Player cards, the match report and the referee report
01Definitions
One set of definitions, used everywhere
The player card, the match report and the referee report all read the same numbers, measured the same way.
| Metric | Definition |
|---|---|
| Distance | Metres covered while on camera |
| High-speed running | 19.8 km/h and above; women 19.0 |
| Sprint | 25.2 km/h and above, for at least 1 s; women 23.0 |
| Acceleration | ±3 m/s², held over 1 s |
| Top speed | Fastest half-second average; anything above 37 km/h is refused, never clipped |
| Rates | Per minute measured on camera, so players seen for different times compare fairly |
Women's matches use women's speed bands, set per match.
02How it is measured
From the picture to km/h
Placed on the pitch
Each player's feet are placed on the real pitch, worked out from the painted lines in that frame.
Smoothed with care
The path is smoothed by a filter that knows how fast a person can run and turn.
Blank when unsure
Where the filter does not know a speed, it leaves it blank instead of guessing.
Only on camera
Every figure carries the share of the match that player was on camera.
03Where you see it
Cards, reports and the referee
| Output | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Player card | One player's distance, top speed, sprints and heat map, the minutes he was measured, and a reel of his touches and sprints. Prints to PDF. Sample card |
| Match report | Each named player's numbers beside the team comparison. |
| Referee report | The referee's distance, sprints and his distance to the ball, for every match. |
| Both teams | The opponent's players are measured from the same video. A GPS vest only ever measures your own squad. |
04How far to trust it
Provisional, and labelled that way
Positions are typically within about one to two metres, and distances and speeds carry that error.
We have checked the figures for plausibility against SkillCorner's open tracking data, through the same definitions: on broadcast footage they come out in the same range. That is a plausibility check, not a comparison with vests worn by the same players, so every running number is marked provisional.
Where the footage under-counts something, the figure is flagged rather than printed as fact. A very wide camera, for example, can show far players too small to measure a sprint.
Not a GPS vest
No heart rate, no load from contact, and nothing while the player is off camera.
Not every minute
Broadcast cuts away to replays and close-ups; those minutes are not measured.
