The match statistics and MD + 1C of substitute players from a professional Spanish LaLiga football club were analyzed using a 10-Hz global positioning system (GPS) Apex GPS system device, which has been validated as a reliable and valid method to analyze performance in team sports, during all games of the 2016\/2017, 2017\/2018 and 2018\/2019 seasons. The starting players showed both lower total distances covered and high-intensity actions compared to the substitutes. Regarding the minutes played by the substitutes, greater physical performance was found for the players with fewer minutes (5\u201315 min). Furthermore, no differences were found between first and second divisions regarding physical performance of substitutes (p &gt; 0.05). This study highlights the importance of individualizing the workload of training sessions for substitutes and starters. Furthermore, the complementary session should be individualized according to the minutes played by the substitutes. These players are potentially under-loaded compared to starters, especially in terms of high-intensity actions, therefore additional session-specific training for each substitute would be useful to reach the optimal training load according to the minutes played during the game.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22103872","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,20]],"date-time":"2022-05-20T00:18:11Z","timestamp":1653005891000},"page":"3872","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Physical Demands during the Game and Compensatory Training Session (MD + 1) in Elite Football Players Using Global Positioning System Device"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Calder\u00f3n-Pellegrino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IGOID Research Group, University of Castilla-La Mancha, 45071 Toledo, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6296-6121","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leonor","family":"Gallardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IGOID Research Group, University of Castilla-La Mancha, 45071 Toledo, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1741-5566","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"Garcia-Unanue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IGOID Research Group, University of Castilla-La Mancha, 45071 Toledo, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2029-1277","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose Luis","family":"Felipe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28670 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7769-626X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Hernandez-Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IGOID Research Group, University of Castilla-La Mancha, 45071 Toledo, Spain"}]},{"given":"V\u00edctor","family":"Paredes-Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport Science Institute, Universidad Camilo Jos\u00e9 Cela, 28692 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0017-0184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"S\u00e1nchez-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28670 Madrid, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"55","article-title":"Analysis of high-intensity efforts in Brazilian professional soccer players","volume":"18","author":"Moura","year":"2017","journal-title":"Hum.
