We looked at whether high-intensity activity differed between home and away matches and its impact on the final score. Thirty football players (20.3 \u00b1 0.8 years) were recruited from a Spanish semi-professional team. Footballers wore a GPS device to monitor high-intensity parameters from competition matches. The final score of every match was also recorded. Playing at home showed greater total distance (TD) &gt; 24 km\/h, &gt;27 km\/h, &gt;85% Vmax, and the number of sprints &gt; 24 km\/h (all p &lt; 0.05) than playing away. Positive correlations were also found between the match score and high-speed running (HSR) distance covered by the team per minute (r = 0.401), TD &gt; 21 km\/h (r = 0.417), TD &gt; 24 km\/h (r = 0.343), number of sprints &gt; 24 km\/h (r = 0.337), and HSR per minute (r = 0.459) (all p &lt; 0.05). The results suggest that playing at home is associated with greater high-intensity effort than playing away. Moreover, the volume of high-intensity effort influences the final score.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24154891","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,29]],"date-time":"2024-07-29T12:27:43Z","timestamp":1722256063000},"page":"4891","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["High-Intensity GPS-Derived Parameters in Semi-Professional Soccer: Home vs. Away Roles of the Team and Their Relationship with the Match\u2019s Final Score"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6377-9950","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"Carlos-Vivas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Activity for Education, Performance and Health (PAEPH) Research Group, Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Extremadura, 10003 C\u00e1ceres, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7977-6837","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Manuel","family":"Franco-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health, Economy, Motricity and Education (HEME) Research Group, Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Extremadura, 10003 C\u00e1ceres, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5797-7419","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David Manuel","family":"Mendoza-Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Extremadura, 10003 C\u00e1ceres, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Santiago","family":"G\u00f3mez-Pomares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Extremadura, 10003 C\u00e1ceres, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4054-9132","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"P\u00e9rez-G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health, Economy, Motricity and Education (HEME) Research Group, Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Extremadura, 10003 C\u00e1ceres, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"501","DOI":"10.1080\/02640414.2015.1127402","article-title":"Positional Interchanges Influence the Physical and Technical Match Performance Variables of Elite Soccer Players","volume":"34","author":"Schuth","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
