The selected articles considered different research objects, periods of time, technologies, or methods. Most publications investigated the factors of temperature, humidity and altitude and showed some significant effects on physical performance, while technical performance often did not change significantly. For all analysed environmental factors, it can be summarized that in different environmental conditions, professional soccer players may consciously adjust certain performance parameters to maintain key match characteristics throughout the whole game.
