Abstract Background Fixture congestion (defined as a minimum of two successive bouts of match-play, with an inter-match recovery period of 5.5 m.s−1) HIR (5.5–6.9 m.s−1) Run (4.0–5.4 m.s−1) Jog (2.0–3.9 m.s−1) Walk (0.2–1.9 m.s−1) Stand (0–0.1 m.s−1) TD, HI distance, sprinting distance, frequency of sprints Sprint (> 24 km·h−1) HI (19–24 km·h−1) TD and distance covered in each locomotive activity. Frequency of HIR and sprints, recovery times, top and average speed Sprint (> 23 km·h−1) HIR (19.1–23.0 km·h−1) MIR (14.1–19.0 km·h−1) LIR (11.1–14.0 km·h−1) Stand, walk, jog (0–11 km·h−1) TD, HIR, TD when individual in possession of the ball, peak period HIR HIR (≥ 14.4 km·h−1)
