Key points
- Soccer players in Spanish professional leagues maintain running performance from the 85th minute onward.
- Substitute players covered significantly greater VHSR and sprint distances during their time on the field.

Abstract
minute onward (p < .001), although match participation also had a significant influence. Specifically, substitute players covered significantly greater VHSR (p < .001) and Sprint distances (p < .001) than the rest of the players during their time of participation. These findings provide knowledge about the evolution of match running performance over match time. Finally, analysis of 5-minute intervals may help coaches understand the periods of matches where player substitutions are most effective.
