Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in the high intensity physical performance parameters, between the best and the worst teams of the 2018 Soccer World Cup. The distance covered at 20-25 km/h, the distance covered at > 25 km/h, the top speed, and the total number of sprints were analyzed. No significant differences between groups were found, except for the top speed in the quarter-final round, which indicates that, regarding elite soccer teams, the success of a soccer match relies mainly in technical and tactical strategies. However, most high intensity performance parameters were higher in the best group, especially in the quarter-final and semi-final rounds, suggesting that the top speed achieved by the players during the match and the distance covered at speeds > 25km/h may also play an important role, particularly when the level of fatigue is not very high.
