In a typical contest, football players run for a total of 10-11 kilometres at fairly modest speed, sprint for about 800-1200 metres, accelerate 40-60 different times, and change direction every five seconds or so.

The average distance covered by a top-class outfield player during a 90-minute match is over 10,000m, at an average speed of over 7km per hour.

In my day job I write about Blood Pressure Treatment and treat those who suffer from blood pressure problems. Low blood pressure is a particular interest and I'm often asked about how to lower cholesterol levels. A healthy heart is becoming a huge focus for many of us nowadays. Improving your blood pressure control and thus the health of your heart and circulation system is really important. My most recent online "adventure" is to start a facility for people to ask me my opinion and to provide high quality health information by answering medical questions online.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have a special interest in the problem of feeling Tired All the Time and in those who suffer from chronic fatigue or lethargy. This seems to tie in also to skin care issues or skin treatment problems and suggestions. Tiredness and fatigue can lead to major problems for many individuals in modern society and the way that this can affect all areas of general health can be quite invasive in terms of daily life and coping skills.

My work with footballers and athletes leads to a focus on Painful Shoulder conditions and on the problems associated with frozen shoulder or whiplash injuryRotator cuff injury causes problems for many of my patients.

When not working I daydream about my next amazing european vacation trip  My favorite European cities include Paris and Barcelona and my next blog project will be to write about the best way to spend a night in Paris and how to find an apartment in Barcelona. I just love European travel in all its forms.

Depends on the position they play and on the formation chosen by the manager

In general midfielders are the guys with the "best engines" and cover most ground during a match

Wingbacks are second

Central defenders and central strikers less so

Wingers (depending on formation used) tend to be similar to wingbacks.

Hope this helps

how many miles did david beckham run in one match

Football requires more conditioning than any other sport.  And Beckham is one overrated footballer

i think the average is between 4.5 to 5 miles. Last year michael essien ran about 6.5 miles in a game, but he is a hard working mid fielder.
