The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Straight sprinting is the most frequent action in goal situations in professional football (2012, background): “In particular, Cometti et al. (2001) concluded that short-sprinting performance could be an important determinant of matchwinning actions in football.”
The Importance of Muscular Strength in Athletic Performance (2016, background): “Previous research indicated that elite athletes produced greater speeds over short distances compared to non-elite athletes [120].”
Testing soccer players (2005, background): “It seems that the H/Q ratio can also differentiate between different levels of play, as Cometti et al. (2001) reported that French elite players had a higher H/Q ratio than subelite players at several angular velocities between – 2.09 and 5.23 rad s71, except at 5.23 rad s71.”
