Maximum Distance and High-Speed Distance Demands by Position in NCAA Division I Collegiate Football Games.
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 2017 October
The purpose of the study was to quantify the average and maximum distances traveled by National Collegiate Athletic Association division I football athletes during competitive games. Using global positioning system devices (Catapult Sports), total and low-, moderate-, and high-speed distances were quantified by each position. Understanding maximal workloads can enhance conditioning practice periodization protocols. A total of 40 football athletes were included in the analysis. For the data to be included, athletes were required to participate in ≥75% of the offensive or defensive snaps for any given game. There was a total of 286 data downloads from 13 different games for 8 different football positions. Data were calculated and compared by offensive and defensive position to establish the mean, SD, and maximum distances (in meters) traveled during competitive games. A total maximum distance range (Max Range) was established to account for athletes who accumulated in-game total distances greater than the M + 1SD for each position. A percent was also calculated to highlight how often athletes accumulated distance workloads in the Max Range. One-way analysis of variance revealed there was a main effect of football position for all distance variables (p ≤ 0.001). Regardless of position, 12.0-16.7% of the time athletes accumulated in-game total distances in the Max Range. Conditioning and practice periodization protocols for distance should be position specific or individualized to avoid under or over conditioning. In addition, using a Max Range for distance can help ensure athletes are achieving distance workloads that are similar to the demands of a competitive game.
