seamers across training and cricket formats, our data could suggest that nonseamers are less physically prepared for the match demands of 50-over cricket. Alternatively, the type of load experienced during batting may have impacted on peak concentric force production, as opposed to the alternative

indicate that rugby sevens athletes should be trained for the same match demands, with adjustments for individual player plans based on physical capacities such as force–velocity profiles and rugby skill sets. Given the importance of between-tournaments recovery in a World Rugby Sevens Series campaign, it

play to monitor players’ total training loads, it is important to acknowledge that the scrum is one of many contact types experienced in rugby union. Hence, despite the algorithm’s success, a complete understanding of a player’s match demands and total training load would require the development of

of potentiation can be achieved with the deadlift as a conditioning stimulus and that they can be reproduced across 4 PAP contrast sets with 90 seconds between each. Limitations of the present study include the inability to truly randomize the subjects into separate groups and also the varying match

, relationship between s-RPE-TL and player load in the current study. Such differences in the relationship between s-RPE training load and player load may result from the different match demands of American college football and soccer and the different statistical modeling procedures (ie, random slopes and

anthropometric profiles of junior players. Significant differences also exist between the physical profiles of forwards and backs in rugby union. Contrasting match demands between the positional units has meant that success in each position requires possessing substantially different physical traits. 1 Forwards

older players within the local levels. Second, players within the talent pathway typically had stronger links between their fitness test scores and match activity profiles in the national levels, but not in state levels. Match demands increase as players progressed through the local participation
