From volume to value: Rethinking running in professional football

The presentation will explore how running demands in the Premier League have evolved, and how practitioners can move from running volume to value for the coaches, which may better support football decision-making.

Drawing on his doctorate, Tom will look at how running changes when we account for tactical context, opposition, possession and game state, and which runs managers highlighted as valuable.

The talk will provide a potential idea of evaluating running through both its physical cost and football benefit.
