We have made interesting stats today: measured how much a korfball player runs, jumps during a game, and how many V-shots he/she makes.

We made the stats by roles: bears, wolves and tigers/panthers. For this we used a software developed for the purpose that used mouse movement to track the player’s movement. It is important that we only measured functional movement: when the player was fighting for the ball. We didn’t measure when the ball was in the other zone, and when the player had to change zones.
We also controlled the accuracy with an independent obseerver, so we are convinced that the data is within a 10% range of the actual values.
Here are the figures (hereby we use the system of korfball-guru Ben Crum to describe the roles of the players):
