Abstract
This study aims to analyze running distances in national teams during 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cup and to propose a new program which estimates oxygen consumption capacity based on running distances. The data were evaluated by SPSS 22.0 statistical package program. The findings demonstrate that among teams participating in 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cup, the lowest average running distance and estimated VO2max values belong to Brazil with 7398.77 meters and 43.84 ml/kg/m, respectively. On the other hand, the highest average running distance and estimated VO2max values belong to Australia with 10598 meters and 67.69 ml/kg/m, respectively. The average running distance and estimated VO2max value in national teams participating in 2010 FIFA World Cup was 9635.54 meters and 60.52 ml/kg/m, while they were 9095.82 meters and 52 ml/kg/m in 2014 FIFA World Cup, respectively.

The average running distances during the tournament were used to estimate running distance in these national teams. (M-0.3138)/0.0.278 formula, which was developed by Cooper (Cooper, 1968) was used to estimate approximate VO2max values of the teams
Summary
Historical developments and natural conditions (pitch conditions, cultural values and physical features) lead to the emergence of different playing styles in different regions and countries of the world. The energy spent during a football game requires players to possess some physiological capacities, which are directly associated with player’s physical condition and training methods. Football requires different approaches depending on the playing style, position on the pitch and difficulty level of the match. All players need to possess the ball during the game, and become fast and active in order to support their teammates for defensing and attacking. They are often expected to run for 90 minutes and support the teammate possessing the ball in a suitable position on the pitch (Reilly, 2003)
