A total of 45 competitive sub-elite games from 2 seasons (2020 and 2021) were analysed. Video analysis software was used to code game videos to analyse performance indicators. It was found that 65% of kickouts were won by the team taking the kickout in the games analysed. Short kickouts inside the 45 m line were the most successful. Kickouts lasting less than 0–5 s and 6–10 s were found to give teams a better opportunity to win their kickout and build an attack following the kickout. The most common attack outcome following winning a kickout was a turnover, followed by a score for the team. It was found the highest win percentage was with 5 and 7 opposition players inside the 65 m, the lowest win percentage was with 6 and 10 opposition players inside the 65 m line. The findings of the present study provide insights for coaches to build effective kickout strategies and the importance of creating tactics to build attacks following winning a kickout.","PeriodicalId":49049,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Performance Analysis in Sport","volume":"22 1","pages":"526 - 540"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41397660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main results demonstrated higher nage-waza and katame-waza variation (absolute values) for medallist compared to the other groups (p < 0.001), and higher values for repechage group compared to the non-medallist (p < 0.001). The katame-waza variation index was higher in female (p = 0.019) and medallists have a higher scoring and nage-waza variation index compared to the repechage group and non-medallist (p < 0.001).

The subject of the study was goal critical situations five minutes before and after goal scoring. The present study is a partial survey of the 1st Bundesliga season 2019/20, insofar as game Days 1.-17. (n = 153 games) were evaluated by video according to two independent raters. The average number of perturbations required to score a goal was 1.69 perturbations (on average 1.52 oP & 0.17 dP), while an average of 1.30 perturbations (on average 1.15 oP & 0.15 dP) was sufficient to create a goal scoring opportunity. The group technical tactical offensive perturbation low pass revealed the largest proportion of all perturbations, at 28%. Therefore, a game plan should be designed to create superior numbers close to the ball to avoid the loss of stability.","PeriodicalId":49049,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Performance Analysis in Sport","volume":"22 1","pages":"491 - 504"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45946286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty-one male judo athletes voluntarily participated in this study.

Athletes’ heart rate and lactate concentration were monitored at rest, 1 min, and 6 min following the exercise while the athletes classified the rate of perceived exertion just after the exercise. During the experiment, the changes in heart rate were different between positions with higher values in uke position compared to tori position after the intermittent exercise (F2,40 = 4.28, p = 0.03). Moreover, athletes in the uke position stated a higher rating of perceived exertion than athletes in the tori position (p = 0.01). However, blood lactate responses were found to be similar between positions (p > 0.05). Intermittent osaekomi-waza exercises resulted in similar metabolic load for uke and tori positions, while higher cardiovascular load was observed in the uke position compared to the tori position. Thus, it can be concluded that the athletes in uke position are exposed to more cardiovascular load compared to those in tori position and present higher perceptual responses.","PeriodicalId":49049,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Performance Analysis in Sport","volume":"22 1","pages":"505 - 515"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45332016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main aim of this study was to compare the different physiological and physical responses of professional male paddle-tennis players as a function of the game result. Sixty sets and twenty-four players were analysed in the Spanish National Championships. Heart rate (HR), lactate concentrations, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), covered distance and speed and sprints were measured. Comparative tests were performed to compare winners and losers, and RPE was analysed using the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve test through Logit model. Losers showed greater results in the mean HR (154.1±15.6 beats·min−1) than winners (144.2±19.1 beats·min−1, p<0.01). A score of 6–10 or 16–20 points in RPE, entailed a high or low probability of winning the set (72–92% or 6–23%, respectively). Physical responses were higher in losers, e.g. higher distances, mean velocity, sprints number between 2.1–9.0 km·h−1. As conclusions, players who finally lose the match demand greater physical and physiological responses in general. It is established, as in other racket sports, that the player’s position on the court is key to determining victory in this sport.","PeriodicalId":49049,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Performance Analysis in Sport","volume":"22 1","pages":"479 - 490"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44882139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its applicability, however, is not clear for players of different physical abilities or teams with different game strategies from MLB’s. This paper aims to test a hypothesis that hitting fly balls do not result in better batting statistics than hitting grounders in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB). From radar-tracking outputs collected in the official games, the speed, launch angle, and batting results of all batted balls in play were extracted (n = 39,469). In-play batting average (IPBA) and slugging percentage (IPSP) were compared between fly balls and grounders. The results showed the better batting statistics for fly balls (IPBA = 0.381 ± 0.018; IPSP = 0.730 ± 0.079) than grounders (IPBA = 0.267 ± 0.010; IPSP = 0.285 ± 0.010). Thus, our hypothesis was rejected. The balls launched at 10°−20°, called line drives, resulted in higher IPBA over the typical speed range (120 − 150 km/h), suggesting that NPB players whose ball speed was typical should aim for line drives, rather than high fly balls by accepting the tenet.","PeriodicalId":49049,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Performance Analysis in Sport","volume":"22 1","pages":"437 - 453"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44818376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
