Global positioning system data were collected from 39 male soccer players across two seasons. Kinematic and mechanical MDP were identified by composite MDPk (maximal distance covered across moderate- and high-speed running and sprinting thresholds) and MDPm (maximal magnitude of high-intensity acceleration and deceleration efforts) criterion variables across 5 min moving average periods. Linear mixed models assessed the intensity, number of efforts, and duration of specific locomotor activities of each MDP by position. The kinematic MDP showed higher intensity, effort count, and relative duration of MDPk activities than mechanical MDP (p ≤ 0.001; ES: 0.7-1.7). Conversely, MDPm activities had greater magnitude, efforts, and relative duration in mechanical MDP (ES: 1.9-2.0). Similar constituent variable compositions were observed between peak periods. The MDPk comprised ~60 ± 16% moderate-speed running, ~30 ± 11% high-speed running, and ~14 ± 8% sprinting distances; MDPm included ~35 ± 23% and ~65 ± 23% high-intensity accelerations and decelerations. Positional differences revealed central defenders had lower, while full-backs and wide-midfielders had higher, MDP values. Findings from this study highlight the multidimensional characteristics of composite peak kinematic and mechanical periods in professional soccer. The differential contribution of low- and high-intensity locomotor activities during such periods, in terms of magnitude, number of efforts, and duration, should be considered by practitioners.

This idea means that, in sports like soccer, the playing area encapsulates an ecological niche, replete with affordances inviting collective and individual technical-tactical actions, contextualized with associated psychological and physical demands. To examine the co-adaptive relationships framing players' actions in their ecological niche, the present study employed a crossover design with repeated measures to compare the players' transactions within 11 vs. 11 training games across four different field dimensions (from official size to a small-sided game). Player transactions with the performance environment were analyzed across 40 game sequences, using 10Hz GPS positional data. Metrics such as convex hull dimensions, field occupancy, and proximity to opponents were derived. Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed significant differences between tendencies for forming synergies constrained by field dimensions scaling. When field size was reduced, the convex hull dimension significantly decreased. Additionally, relative field occupancy and distance to nearest opponent exhibited significant changes, especially when contrasted with performance transactions emerging on the official size field. These observations underline the essential functional relationship between the playing field dimension and emergent player actions. Such findings underscore the need for soccer coaches and training designers to integrate the specificity of field dimension scaling in training designs to represent competitive performance contexts.
