SciSports' Physical Indicators present a one-of-a-kind way to analyse the physical performance of a player. Including metrics such as Speed and Stamina, you can find and evaluate players in accordance with their physical output.

From a scouting perspective, the indicators have been created to provide direct insights relative to other players in the same position and league. So, in the case of analysing a Feminine Division 1 winger, they will be ranked against other wingers in the French top flight.

This is primarily achieved through computing the event-driven physical indicators into raw values before being aggregated into per position/league benchmarks.

Definitions

Speed: Captures the top speed and acceleration capabilities of a player during and close to times of ball possession.

Stamina: Captures the total distance covered by a player between events.

You can read a more in-depth methodology related to Speed and Stamina by clicking the interactive links for each metric.

For users of the Physical Indicators within the Recruitment Application, the following view will be presented within each player's page - in addition to a Physical filter whereby you can filter by both Speed and Stamina.
