摘要

This study examined the integrated external, technical, and tactical demands of peak match demands (PMD) across playing positions in semi-professional soccer. External load for 20 players (Tier 2) was monitored across 10 matches using 10-Hz GNSS. PMDs for total distance (PMDTD; 1-min and 3-min rolling averages) were synchronized with video to analyze play phases, technical actions, and tactical outcomes. Results showed position-dependent external loads, with center backs exhibiting significantly lower total distance and high metabolic load distance. PMDs occurred most frequently during defensive organization (31–33%) and transitions. Large positional associations (V = 0.25–0.42) were observed for tactical actions: center backs and central midfielders predominantly engaged in “pushing up the line” and “on-ball defense,” whereas wide midfielders and forwards performed more “runs-in-behind” and “breaking into the box.” Position-specific technical fingerprints (e.g., fullbacks’ crosses, wide midfielders’ tricks) were more prominent during the 3-min window. In conclusion, when identified via total distance (PMDTD), PMD represents a peak in tactical responsibility rather than just locomotion. Practitioners should shift from generic physical replication toward integrated, position-specific drills that couple peak locomotor output with relevant technical-tactical requirements to better reflect the integrated reality of the most demanding match periods.
