### Lower-Extremities Fat Mass's Relationship with On-Field, In-Game Performance  
Significant correlations were found between lower fat mass in the lower extremities and greater distances covered at moderate-intensity (r = \(-\)0.669, \(p\) = 0.03) and high-intensity running (r = \(-\)0.745, \(p\) = 0.01) during the second half. Additionally, players with lower fat mass in the lower extremities showed significant correlations with more distance covered at moderate-intensity (r = \(-\)0.644, \(p\) = 0.04) and high-intensity running (r = \(-\)0.706, \(p\) = 0.02) over the entire game compared to players with more fat mass in the lower extremities. \begin{table}
