The purpose of this study was to analyze the variations in physical and technical performance parameters of professional soccer players according to match outcome (winning, drawing, and losing), team quality (according to their final ranking at the end of season: top-ranked, middle-ranked, and bottom-ranked), and quality of opposition (inferior and superior). The data was collected from 122 matches of the Turkish Super League during the 2019-2020 season using the semi-automatic multi-camera tracking system (Sentio Sports Analytics Company®). The results revealed that the winning teams performed greater high-intensity and high-speed activities, particularly when in possession, and the number of shots on target. The distance covered at high-intensity running, high-speed running and sprinting when in possession, and successful cross, shots on target, corner kicks, short pass rather than long pass, and the ball playing time were greater in top-ranked teams. The results also indicated that the percentage of ball possession, number of shots on target, and successful crosses were greater for both inferior and superior teams when they played against the inferior team. While both groups played against superior, high-intensity running distance out of possession and high-speed distance out of possession were greater. Further, total distance in possession, high-intensity distance in possession, number of successful passes were greater for superior teams while playing against an inferior opponent. The coaches, performance analysts, and applied practitioners should consider performance parameters that are influenced by contextual variables before designing training programs and match evaluations.

Height- and surface-related variations in match-play outcomes and rankings in professional men's tennis Söğüt, Mustafa (2019-09-01) The purpose of this study was to examine whether serve- and return-related match-play outcomes and ranking of the top 100 male professional tennis players vary with regards to court surface and stature. Anthropometric and match-play statistics were recorded from the official webpage of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and distributed into three consecutive height groups. Main results revealed that when playing on grass courts, players produced significantly more aces and double faults, and achi...
Ranking in young tennis players-a study to determine possible correlates Söğüt, Mustafa; Kaya, Omer Baris; Altunsoy, Kuebra (2019-09-01) The purpose of this study was to examine the associations of physical, functional, experiential, and training-related characteristics with ranking in a cohort of competitive U12 tennis players. A total of 119 (boys= 68, girls= 51) nationally ranked Turkish players aged 9.6-12.3 years (10.9 +/- 0.7) were measured on stature, sitting height, body mass, skinfolds, grip strength, and agility. Age at peak height velocity (APHV), percentage of predicted adult stature (PAS%), body mass index (BMI), body fat percen...

Age-related Differences in Motor Coordination Among Young Soccer Players Dirik, Hasan Batuhan; Söğüt, Mustafa (2021-03-01) Objective: The purposes of this study were to determine the motor coordination levels of young soccer players and to examine the age-related differences. Material and Methods: Participants were 93 young (11.9±1.7 years) soccer players. According to their birth years, they were allocated to U10 (n=29), U12 (n=38), and U14 (n=26) categories. Body height and weight were measured and body mass index was calculated as dividing the body weight by the square of the body height. Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (...
