Competing with lower level opponents decreases intra-team movement synchronization and time-motion demands during pre-season soccer matches.

This study aimed to quantify the time-motion demands and intra-team movement synchronization during the pre-season matches of a professional soccer team according to the opposition level. Positional data from 20 players were captured during the first half of six pre-season matches of a Portuguese fi...
