| Popis: | ObjectiveIn the present study, we model the potential spread of virus during soccer matches.MethodsTracking data from 14 elite soccer matches was used. One player in each match was designated as a virus carrier (called ‘infected player’) for the purpose of the study. The exposure score (measured in seconds) was calculated as time spent closer than 1.5 m from the infected player or time spent in an exponentially declining zone, where the infected player was positioned earlier.ResultsThe results revealed that, on average, each player was exposed for 87.8 s per match.ConclusionPotential spread of virus during soccer matches was modelled and it revealed that the exposure to a virus during soccer matches is limited. |
