This assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial was conducted in one secondary school in the Hunter Region, Australia, from July to September 2013. Ninety-six (96) students (age = 15.4 (.5) years, 51.5% female) were randomised into intervention (n = 51) or control (n = 45) conditions for 8-weeks (60 min twice per week). Waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), BMI-Z score (primary outcomes), cardiorespiratory fitness (shuttle run test), muscular fitness (standing jump, push-up, handgrip, curl-up test), flexibility (sit and reach) and resistance training skill competency were measured at baseline and immediate post-intervention. Feasibility measures of recruitment, retention, adherence and satisfaction were assessed. Significant group-by-time intervention effects were found for waist circumference [-3.1 cm, P < 0.001], BMI [-1.38 kg · m^-2, P < 0.001], BMI-Z [-0.5 z-scores, P < 0.001], sit and reach [+3.0 cm, P < 0.001], standing jump [+0.1 m, P = 0.021] and shuttle run [+10.3 laps, P = 0.019]. Retention rate was 82.3%. All programme sessions were delivered and participants' mean satisfaction scores ranged from 4.2 to 4.6 out of 5. The findings demonstrate that CrossFit Teens^TM is a feasible and efficacious programme for improving health-related fitness in adolescents.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:26:55 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6812 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:31:34 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33313 2max (P = 0.002) and push-ups_{1 min} (P = 0.004) were superior in selected under-16 players, and sprint times (P ≤ 0.045), push-ups_{1 min} (P < 0.001) and chin-ups_{1 min} (P = 0.013) were superior in selected under-18 players. Further, 10-m sprint (β = −7.706, standard error [SE] = 2.412), VO_2max (β = 0.168, SE = 0.052) and body mass (β = 0.071, SE = 0.023) significantly predicted selection (R² = 0.339) in under-16 players, while push-ups_{1 min} (β = 0.564, SE = 0.250), 10-m sprint (β = −68.477, SE = 28.107), body mass (β = 0.360, SE = 0.155) and chronological age (β = −3.577, SE = 1.720) significantly predicted selection (R² = 0.894) in under-18 players. These findings emphasise the importance of performance attributes in junior rugby league and indicate talent identification test batteries should be age-specific in older adolescent players.]]> Wed 10 Oct 2018 13:20:23 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36094 Wed 05 Feb 2020 14:51:14 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36080 Wed 05 Feb 2020 11:21:12 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38499 Wed 04 May 2022 14:28:35 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35531 Tue 27 Aug 2019 16:36:44 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42466 Tue 23 Aug 2022 13:42:17 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35677 Tue 22 Oct 2019 12:39:11 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32867 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:27:22 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33482 squat, lunge and overhead press, whereas males performed better on the push-up (p < .05).

In contrast, altering the playing field size or player number did not significantly influence (P > 0.05) these responses. These results suggest that the physical demands of cricket-specific training can be increased via rule variations including hit-and-run activities, more so than field size or player number.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:39 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19995 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:50:47 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27415 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:35:25 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29670 -1) of offensive, defensive and overall involvements was coded for each group using a notation system and a practical coach skill analysis tool. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) revealed a significant effect of playing position on skill involvements (F = 9.06; P < 0.001; ES = 0.41). Hit-up forwards performed a significantly greater frequency of offensive (0.31 ± 0.10), defensive (0.42 ± 0.15) and overall involvements (0.74 ± 0.19) when compared to adjustables (0.20 ± 0.08, 0.28 ± 0.08 and 0.52 ± 0.15, respectively) and outside backs (0.20 ± 0.12, 0.11 ± 0.07 and ± 0.31 ± 0.17, respectively). Further, adjustables performed a significantly greater number of defensive (0.28 ± 0.08) and overall involvements (0.52 ± 0.15) when compared to outside backs (0.11 ± 0.07 and 0.31 ± 0.17, respectively). The findings of this study suggest that it is important to consider a junior player's positional group when analysing their skill involvements. Information gained from this study could assist in the design of specific training methodologies for junior rugby league players in high-level talent development programmes.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:32:21 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31038 P = 0.01) and SPRAY (24.6 ± 3.3 min; P = 0.01) compared to CON (25.2 ± 3.2 min).

Only pre-cooling significantly lowered rectal temperature both pre-exercise (by 0.5 ± 0.3°C; P < 0.01) and throughout exercise, and reduced sweat rate (P < 0.05).

Response time was significantly improved when running above 65% of maximal sprinting speed (P < 0.01). This data questions the application of the inverted-U hypothesis for intermittent exercise and suggests that the short high-intensity efforts may not result in the same physiological events that limit psychomotor performance during sustained high-intensity exercise.

BCTs with the highest effectiveness were material reward, valued self-identity and habit formation. However, the overall test of significance demonstrated no significant relationship between type or number of BCTs and effectiveness. This review identified interventions that improve steps, moderate-vigorous and total PA in young adults in the shorter-term, and BCTs associated with greater effectiveness.

A hierarchical approach using multiple linear regression analyses was used to develop predictive models of performance across 10 circuit subsections and the total time-trial. The strongest model to predict overall time-trial performance achieved prediction accuracy of 127.1 s across 6246.8 ± 452.0 s (adjusted R² = 0.92; P < 0.01). This model included VO2max relative to total cycling mass, maximal mean power across 5 and 30 s, peak left hand grip strength, and response time for correct decisions in the decision-making task. A range of factors contributed to the models for each individual subsection of the circuit with varying predictive strength (adjusted R2: 0.62–0.97; P < 0.05). The high prediction accuracy for the total time-trial supports that a multidimensional approach should be taken to develop XCO-MTB performance. Additionally, individual models for circuit subsections may help guide training practices relative to the specific trail characteristics of various XCO-MTB circuits.]]> Fri 24 Jan 2020 16:29:09 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47213 Fri 16 Dec 2022 10:09:24 AEDT ]]>
