Rugby sevens is a small-sided variant of rugby union characterised by fast-moving, high-intensity gameplay and an example team invasion sport, where players work together to achieve shared goal attacking defending as cohesive unit. The dynamics such sports can be viewed self-organizing systems, individual form collective patterns without centralized mechanism control. Inspired the analysis movement in animals, this novel study investigates emergent order disorder sub-elite female using...
Abstract Background There is currently no precise estimate of post-polio conditions in Australia. This observational study aimed to provide a summary hospitalisations over 10-year period Australia, with specific focus on annual, monthly, and regional trends, as well comparison four similar neurological conditions. Methods A retrospective cohort late effects polio syndrome from 2011 2021. Primary data were obtained via data-on-request process through the Australian Institute Health Welfare...
To investigate the association between training and match loads injury in elite junior Australian football players over 1 competitive season.Elite (n = 290, age 17.7 [0.3] y, range 16-18 y) were recruited from under-18 state league competition Victoria to report load information. One-week (session rating of perceived exertion multiplied by duration) all time-loss injuries reported using an online sport-injury surveillance system. Absolute measures (weekly sums) enabled calculation relative...
To investigate associations between load (training and competition) wellness in elite junior Australian Football players across 1 competitive season.A prospective cohort study was conducted during the 2014 playing season 562 from 9 teams. Players recorded their training match intensities according to session-rating-of-perceived-exertion (sRPE) method. Based on sRPE player loads, a number of variables were quantified, including cumulative change different periods time (including...
Lathlean, TJH, Gastin, PB, Newstead, S, and Finch, CF. Elite junior Australian football players experience significantly different loads across levels of competition training modes. J Strength Cond Res 32(7): 2031-2038, 2018-Well-developed physical qualities such as high jumping ability, running endurance, acceleration, speed can help aspiring elite (AF) transition to the Football League competition. To do so, need sufficient load enhance their resilience without increasing risk negative...
Purpose : To investigate the association between player wellness and injury in elite junior Australian football players over 1 competitive season. Methods Prospective cohort study. Elite (N = 196, average age 17.7 y, range 16–18 y) were recruited under-18 state league competition Victoria, Australia. They recorded their (sleep, fatigue, soreness, stress, mood) according to a 5-point Likert scale 3 times weekly, with injuries (missed match/training session) entered into an online sport-injury...
Elite junior Australian football players experience high training loads across levels of competition and training. This, in conjunction with impaired wellness, can predispose athletes to injury.Elite exposed poor wellness are more likely be at risk injury than those improved wellness.Longitudinal prospective cohort study.Level 3.Data were collected analyzed from 280 the 2014 season. Internal load was measured via session rating perceived exertion. Player reported according ratings sleep...
Background Research focused on elite senior Australian Football (AF) competition, during the in-season, has found training load (a measurement of both intensity and duration) factors such as cumulative load, monotony strain to be associated with injury risk. Little is known about whether player loads in junior footballers a pre-season also predispose players risk injury. Objective To explore for football players. Design An prospective cohort study currently underway assess over course 2014...
Background In determining the effectiveness of sports injury prevention programs (IPP), an assessment program fidelity is needed. This includes considering whether intervention was delivered and adhered to as it intended. Evaluation prevents incorrect conclusions being made about effects IPP can provide information on why successful, or not. Program for IPPs in sport has generally been limited self-reported measures around frequency participation. However, exercise-based IPPs, performing...
