Sažetak
The purpose of this study was to analyse the variations in physical and technical performance parameters of professional soccer players according to match outcome (winning, drawing, or losing) and team quality (top-, middle-, and bottom-ranked). The data were collected from 122 matches of the Turkish Super League during the 2019-2020 season using the semi-automatic multi-camera tracking system. The results revealed that the winning teams performed more high-intensity running activities, particularly when in ball possession, and produced higher number of shots on target. The distance covered in high-intensity running and sprinting when in ball possession, as well as the number of successful crosses, shots on target, corner kicks, and short passes were greater in top-ranked teams. The coaches, performance analysts, and practitioners should consider performance parameters that are influenced by contextual variables before designing training programmes and match evaluations.
