Box Plot


"Box Plot representation of distances covered by First Division Brazilian soccer players (n = 55) according to playing positions after 90 minutes of play, including only those who played the whole game. The players were classified in five positional groups: central defenders (CD, n = 15), external defenders (ED, n = 12), central midfield players (CM, n = 11), external midfield players (EM, n = 9) and forwards (F, n = 8)."

This type of data representation is good in understanding groups of numerical data. It looks like the Central Defender came in first.
