Physical Activity Analysis of the Indonesian National Soccer Team by the Position

Abstract

This study analyzes the physical activity and performance of the Indonesian national football team, focusing on positional demands during competitive matches. Using GPS tracking technology (Catapult Vector PRO S7), key metrics such as total distance, high-intensity running, sprint distances, acceleration, and deceleration were examined. The results reveal significant individual variation in physical demands across different speed zones, reflecting the team’s adaptation to varying game strategies and opponents. High-intensity running and sprint distances indicate a high level of physical exertion, while acceleration and deceleration efforts exhibit distinct patterns depending on the match. The research concludes with recommendations for improving player fitness and team strategies through targeted training, focusing on strength, endurance, and adaptability. These findings aim to inform future training practices and enhance the Indonesian national team's performance on the international stage.
