Integrating video tracking and GPS to quantify accelerations and decelerations in elite soccer

Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the degree of agreement comparing number and distance covered in different acceleration and deceleration sections registered by a video tracking system (MEDIACOACH) and a GPS device (WIMU PRO) during official competition. Data from a Spanish professional...
