Abstract: Objective: Explore the characteristics and rules of the running performance of Chinese youth players with various ages, match positiones and player levels. Methods: GPS wearable devices were used to collect the running data of 85 players and 544 players in the U13-U17 league in China. Compared and analyzedthe running characteristics of players of different ages, different positions and different levels. Results :(1) walking and jogging, low speed running and maximum running speed increased with age (P< 0.01), while total running, medium speed running, fast running, high speed running and sprint running first decreased and then increased with age (P< 0.01). (2)The midfielder completed the most total running, low speed running, medium speed running and fast running (F=27.30, P<0.01; F=14.62, P<0.01; F=24.30, P<0.01; F=23.17, P<0.01 ). The widemidfieldercompleted the most high-speed and sprint runs (F=22.56, P<0.01; F=19.49, P<0.01). The forward completed the most jogging (F=4.44, P<0.01). The widemidfielder, forward and full-back showed faster top speed (F = 8.92, P<0.01). (3)Between the selected and unselected national team players, the maximum running speed of the central defender and the selected group was significantly higher than that of the unselected group (P<0.01); the full-back, wide midfielder, and selected group had a higher high intensity running distance than the unselected group (P<0.05), forward, the selected group was significantly lower than the unselected group in total running, low-intensity running, and moderate-intensity running (P<0.01). The highest running speed was significantly higher than the unselected group (P<0.01). Conclusion: The age and position have significant influence on the match running performance of young players, but there is no interaction between them; The match running performance showed obvious positional characteristics, which did not change with age, and to a certain extent was similar to the adults; Maximum running speed is important to distinguish between center-backs and forwards at different levels and high intensity running ability is important to distinguish between wingers at different levels.
