A number of soccer officials have long debated whether to ban soccer games played at high altitudes above sea level. This paper explores soccer player's performance when playing at high elevations using data obtained from the Copa Libertadores. I propose a range of direct indicators of player performance when playing at high altitudes: the number of total passes, the number of passes in the opposition's half, and the number of successful passes. I also review the effects on the percentage of successful passes and the percentage of successful passes in the opponents' half of the field. The performance indicators compare player outcomes when playing away above 2,500 meters (8,202 feet) relative to when they play away below that threshold. The results suggest that, for the most part, altitude has no impact. It does, however, have an impact on variables related to the way a player performs when faced with risky decisions. In particular, I find that the percentage of successful passes rises by about 5.6percentage points, mostly driven by each player's behavior in his own half. My findings suggest that players (and coaches) adapt to the conditions. |

Este trabajo explora el desempeño de los jugadores de fútbol cuando juegan a gran altitud utilizando datos de la Copa Libertadores. Para ello propongo una serie de indicadores del desempeño de jugadores: el número total de pases, el número de pases en el campo rival y el número de pases exitosos. También exploro el efecto del porcentaje de pases exitosos y el porcentaje de pases exitosos en el campo rival. Comparo el desempeño de los jugadores en partidos de visitante jugados por encima de los 2.500 metros sobre el nivel del mar respecto a los partidos de visitante jugados por debajo de la barrera de los 2.500 metros. Los resultados sugieren que, en gran medida, la altura no impacta en el desempeño. Hay, sin embargo, cierto efecto en variables relacionadas con la toma de decisiones en situación de riesgo. En particular se estima que el porcentaje de pases exitosos aumenta aproximadamente 5,6 puntos porcentuales debido principalmente al comportamiento de cada jugador en su propio campo. La evidencia sugiere que los jugadores (y entrenadores) se adaptan a las condiciones del entorno.18 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 25 Junio de 2014https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/011949.htmlGasping for air: soccer players' performance at high-altitudeFalta de aire: desempeño de jugadores de fútbol en alturaDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPHigh-Altitude performanceImpact evaluationSoccerSoccer players' performanceCopa Libertadores de América - Aspectos económicosIndicadores económicos - América LatinaIndicadores de desarrollo - América LatinaAnálisis económico - América LatinaFutbolistas - Condiciones físicasL83, C21Facultad de EconomíaPublicationORIGINALdcede2014-25.pdfdcede2014-25.pdfapplication/pdf378157https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/69d7de04-ec6d-470d-9a9c-1ff8293ba36d/download0d4b49cc22598c1bab21f9ed8a6e073dMD51THUMBNAILdcede2014-25.pdf.jpgdcede2014-25.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg7675https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/73850a9f-1532-44bf-941f-888c1d32916b/download657b30342267e161a64b2f8cf330a84dMD55TEXTdcede2014-25.pdf.txtdcede2014-25.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain40850https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/163d9929-3856-4212-8414-20b63ffcf2f3/download60fc1a57da370718716627ed5544a9d6MD541992/8499oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/84992024-06-04 15:30:52.042http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co |
