Demands of the sport

As with all team sports, playing position clearly affects the physical requirements. It is generally accepted that a goalkeeper does not need the same level of aerobic conditioning as a central midfielder. The distance covered by outfield players has been well researched. In a match, they each cover about six miles, though this obviously depends on whether you are a utility midfield player or a sweeper. There does not appear to be much difference between the distance covered by the top professionals and non-elite players.
