Results: The mean (+/- SD) TD covered by field umpires was 11,492 +/- 1,729 m, with boundary umpires covering 15,061 +/- 1,749 m. The average running speed in field umpires was 103 +/- 14 m.min(-1) and was 134 +/- 14 m.min(-1) in boundary umpires. Field and boundary umpires covered 3,095 +/- 752 m and 5,875 +/- 1,590 m, during HIA, respectively. In the first quarter, HIA distance (field: P = .004, eta(2) = 0.071, boundary: P < .001, eta(2) = 0.180) and average running speed (field: P = .002, eta(2) = 0.078, boundary: P < .001, eta(2) = 0.191) were significantly greater than in subsequent quarters. Conclusions: The results demonstrate that both AF field and boundary umpires complete similar running demands to elite AF players and are subject to physical fatigue. Further research is warranted to see if this physical fatigue impacts on the cognitive function of AF umpires during match play.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:16:04 AEST ]]> Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the MADE4Life program: a pilot randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27250 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:23:10 AEST ]]> The relationship between pedometer step counts and estimated VO₂max as determined by a submaximal fitness test in adolescents https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4318 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:18:03 AEST ]]> Findings from the EASY minds cluster randomized controlled trial: evaluation of a physical activity integration program for mathematics in primary schools https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23947 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:57:57 AEST ]]> Use of oral contraceptives to manipulate menstruation in young, physically active women https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33584 300 min/wk) women (age 23 ± 5 y), and 108 competitive (state-, national- or international-level) female athletes (age 23 ± 4 y) completed a self-administered questionnaire assessing OC-regimen habits and reasons for manipulation of menstruation. Results: The majority (74%) of OC users reported having deliberately manipulated menstruation at least once during the previous year, with 29% reporting having done so at least 4 times. Prevalence of menstrual manipulation (at least once in the previous year) was not different between competitive athletes, subelite recreationally active women, and recreationally active women (77% vs 74% vs 72%; P > .05). The most cited reasons for manipulating menstruation were special events or holidays (rated by 75% as important/very important), convenience (54%), and sport competition (54%). Conclusions: Menstrual manipulation through extended OC regimens is common practice in recreationally and competitively active young women, for a range of reasons relating to convenience that are not limited to physical activity. This strategy may help reduce hormone-related barriers to exercise participation, thereby positively affecting participation and performance.]]> Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:03:04 AEST ]]> The effects of anaerobic swim ergometer training on sprint performance in adolescent swimmers https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43959 Wed 05 Oct 2022 14:01:30 AEDT ]]> Improving the prediction of maturity from anthropometric variables using a maturity ratio https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36085 Wed 05 Feb 2020 14:44:07 AEDT ]]> Reliability of squat movement competency screen in individuals with a previous knee injury https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32865 Wed 04 Sep 2019 09:55:23 AEST ]]> Mental Fatigue Impairs Tackling Technique in Amateur Rugby Union Players https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52147 Wed 04 Oct 2023 10:14:52 AEDT ]]> Eight investments that work for physical activity https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49014 Wed 03 May 2023 12:24:03 AEST ]]> Evaluating the feasibility of the education, movement, and understanding (EMU) program: A primary school-based physical education program integrating Indigenous games alongside numeracy and literacy skills https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55873 Wed 03 Jul 2024 13:41:25 AEST ]]> The Physical Activity Advice Continuum—A Guide for Physical Activity Promotion in Health Care https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55013 Wed 03 Apr 2024 11:01:53 AEDT ]]> Guidelines for the selection of physical literacy measures in physical education in Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35675 Tue 30 Aug 2022 15:22:30 AEST ]]> Fundamental movement skills: an important focus https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29646 Tue 30 Aug 2022 15:09:28 AEST ]]> Associations between physical function and subjective well-being in older adults from low- and middle-income countries: results from the Study on Global AGEing and Adult Health (SAGE) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48110 Tue 28 Feb 2023 15:58:44 AEDT ]]> Determining the initial predictive validity of the lifelong physical activity skills battery https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35533 age = 15.82 years, SD = 0.37 years) completed: demographic information (survey), height (stadiometer), weight (digital scale), motor skill assessment (jog, grapevine, squat, push-up, upward dog, warrior one, tennis forehand, golf swing), health-related fitness (standing long jump, back-saver sit and reach, 3-min submaximal step test, 90° push-up test), and physical activity (GENEActiv accelerometers).

Blood tests were performed to determine Epstein Barr virus (EBV) status and DNA was genotyped for a panel of cytokine gene polymorphisms. Saliva was collected for measurement of IgA and detection of EBV DNA. Athletes were then followed for 9 months for self-reported episodes of respiratory illness, with confirmation of the underlying cause by a sports physician. There were no associations with risk of respiratory illness identified for any parameter assessed in the clinical evaluations. The laboratory parameters associated with an increased risk of respiratory illnesses in highly-trained athletes were cytokine gene polymorphisms for the high expression of IL-6 and IFN-γ expression of EBV-DNA in saliva; and low levels of salivary IgA concentration. A genetic risk score was developed for the cumulative number of minor alleles for the cytokines evaluated. Athletes prone to recurrent respiratory illness were more likely to have immune disturbances that allow viral reactivation, and a genetic predisposition to pro-inflammatory cytokine responses to intense exercise.]]> Thu 14 Mar 2019 16:50:14 AEDT ]]> Synthetic Data as a Strategy to Resolve Data Privacy and Confidentiality Concerns in the Sport Sciences: Practical Examples and an R Shiny Application https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52138 .05).

In batsmen, stepwise multiple-regression analysis revealed that 67.8% of the adjusted variance in sRPE could be explained by PlayerLoad and high-intensity distance (y = 27.43 + 0.81 PlayerLoad + 0.29 high-intensity distance). For medium-fast bowlers, 76.3% of the adjusted variance could be explained by total distance and mean heart rate (y = 101.82 + total distance 0.05 + HRmean – 0.48). Conclusion: These results suggest that sRPE is a valid method of reporting TL among cricket batsmen and medium-fast bowlers.

During all exercise testing, several systemic and peripheral physiological measures were taken. Results: The results indicated similar effects of wearing rLBCG and uLBCG compared with the control. Across the PMT, wearing either LBCG resulted in significantly (P < .05) increased oxygen consumption, O₂pulse, and deoxyhemoglobin (HHb) and decreased running economy, oxyhemoglobin, and tissue oxygenation index (TOI) at low-intensity speeds (8–10 km·h-1). At higher speeds (12–18 km·h-1), wearing LBCG increased regional blood flow (nTHI) and HHb values, but significantly lowered heart rate and TOI. During the TTE, wearing either LBCG significantly (P < .05) increased HHb concentration, whereas wearing uLBCG also significantly (P < .05) increased nTHI. No improvement in endurance running performance was observed in either compression condition. Conclusion: The results suggest that wearing LBCG facilitated a small number of cardiorespiratory and peripheral physiological benefits that appeared mostly related to improvements in venous flow. However, these improvements appear trivial to athletes, as they did not correspond to any improvement in endurance running performance.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:42 AEDT ]]> Planned and reactive agility performance in semiprofessional and amateur basketball players https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17383 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:30 AEDT ]]> Optimizing the online channel in professional sport to create trusting and loyal consumers: the role of the professional sports team brand and service quality https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16397 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:00:55 AEDT ]]> Intrapersonal and social environment correlates of leisure-time physical activity for cancer prevention: a cross-sectional study among Canadian adults https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19542 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:27 AEDT ]]> The effects of a supplemental, theory-based physical activity counseling intervention for adults with type 2 diabetes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17988 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:56:20 AEDT ]]> How many steps are enough?: dose-response curves for pedometer steps and multiple health markers in a community-based sample of older Australians https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19122 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:56 AEDT ]]> Development and evaluation of social cognitive measures related to adolescent physical activity https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19198 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:00 AEDT ]]> Self-efficacy, physical activity, and sedentary behavior in adolescent girls: testing mediating effects of the perceived school and home environment https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20650 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:09 AEDT ]]> A comparison of methods to quantify the in-season training load of professional soccer players https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19169 14.4 km/h], very high-speed running [VHSR; >19.8 km/h], and player load), HR and session-RPE (sRPE) scores were recorded.

Results: Physical measures of TD, LSA volume, and player load provided large, significant (r = .71–.84; P < .01) correlations with the HR-based and sRPE-based methods. Volume of HSR and VHSR provided moderate to large, significant (r = .40–.67; P < .01) correlations with measures of internal TL. Conclusions: While the volume of HSR and VHSR provided significant relationships with internal TL, physical-performance measures of TD, LSA volume, and player load appear to be more acceptable indicators of external TL, due to the greater magnitude of their correlations with measures of internal TL.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:19 AEDT ]]> Paternal lifestyle-related parenting practices mediate changes in children's dietary and physical activity behaviors: findings from the healthy dads, healthy kids community randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27118 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:35 AEDT ]]> Acceleration-based running intensities of professional rugby league match play https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26125 met) were calculated for 10 different moving-average durations (1–10 min) for each position. A mixed-effects model was used to assess the effect of position for each duration, and individual comparisons were made using a magnitude-based-inference network. Results: There were almost certainly large differences in relative distance and Pmet between the 10-min window and all moving averages <5 min in duration (ES = 1.21–1.88). Fullbacks, halves, and hookers covered greater relative distances than outside backs, edge forwards, and middle forwards for moving averages lasting 2–10 min. Acceleration/deceleration demands were greatest in hookers and halves compared with fullbacks, middle forwards, and outside backs. Pmet was greatest in hookers, halves, and fullbacks compared with middle forwards and outside backs. Conclusions: Competition running intensities varied by both position and moving-average duration. Hookers exhibited the greatest Pmet of all positions, due to high involvement in both attack and defense. Fullbacks also reached high Pmet, possibly due to a greater absolute volume of running.

VO2max, power at VO2max, power:weight ratio, paddling efficiency, VO₂ at lactate threshold, and whole-body and muscle oxygen kinetics were determined on a kayak ergometer in the laboratory. Separately, on-water time trials (TT) were completed over 200 m and 1000 m. Large to nearly perfect (-.5 to-.9) inverse relationships were found between the physiological variables and on-water TT performance across both distances. Paddling efficiency and lactate threshold shared moderate to very large correlations (-.4 to-.7) with 200- and 1000-m performance. In addition, trivial to large correlations (-.11 to-.5) were observed between muscle-oxygenation parameters, muscle and whole-body oxygen kinetics, and performance. Multiple regression showed that 88% of the unadjusted variance for the 200-m TT performance was explained by VO2max, peripheral muscle deoxygenation, and maximal aerobic power (P < .001), whereas 85% of the unadjusted variance in 1000-m TT performance was explained by VO2max and deoxyhemoglobin (P < .001). The current findings show that well-trained junior sprint kayak athletes possess a high level of relative aerobic fitness and highlight the importance of the peripheral muscle metabolism for sprint kayak performance, particularly in 200-m races, where finalists and nonfinalists are separated by very small margins. Such data highlight the relative aerobic-fitness variables that can be used as benchmarks for talent-identification programs or monitoring longitudinal athlete development. However, such approaches need further investigation.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:48 AEDT ]]> Perceived teammate acceptance and sport commitment in adolescent female volleyball players https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24785 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:06 AEDT ]]> Increase in daily steps after an exercise specialist led lifestyle intervention for adults with type 2 diabetes in primary care: a controlled implementation trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23062 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:12:27 AEDT ]]> Time-motion analysis of a 2-hour surfing training session https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24676 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:10:51 AEDT ]]> Validity of skinfold-based measures for tracking changes in body composition in professional rugby league players https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23966 .9, P < .001). The correlation between change scores was stronger for the LMI (r = .69, SEE 1.3 kg) and the SkF method (r = .66, SEE = 1.4 kg) than for BIA (r = .50, SEE = 1.6 kg). Conclusions: The LMI is probably as accurate in predicting changes in FFM as SkF and very likely to be more appropriate than BIA. The LMI offers an adequate, practical alternative for assessing in FFM among rugby league athletes.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:10:09 AEDT ]]> Effects of 2 methods of combined training on cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents: a randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45539 2peak), and cardiometabolic risk Z score. Results: The intervention groups presented a significant reduction in the cardiometabolic risk Z score after 12 weeks of the combined exercise program. In relation to the cardiometabolic risk Z score between groups, the HIIT + RT group presented a significant intervention effect when compared with the control group (Cohen d = 0.23; P < .05). Significant intervention effects were found when comparing the MICT + RT and control groups for body fat percentage, high-density lipoprotein, and VO2peak. Between the HIIT + RT and control groups, significant intervention effects were found for body fat percentage, blood pressure, and VO2peak. There were not significant differences between the HIIT + RT and MICT + RT groups. Conclusion: Twelve weeks of HIIT + RT and MICT + RT were effective in significantly reducing the cardiometabolic risk in these adolescents.]]> Mon 31 Oct 2022 15:40:59 AEDT ]]> Mental Fatigue Impairs Physical Performance in Young Swimmers https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48691 Mon 27 Mar 2023 18:51:41 AEDT ]]> The applicability of a short form of the körperkoordinationstest für kinder for measuring motor competence in children aged 6 to 11 years https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34259 Mon 25 Feb 2019 11:39:34 AEDT ]]> Games centered approaches in teaching children & adolescents: systematic review of associated student outcomes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24011 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:45:07 AEST ]]> Sitting time in adults 65 years and over: behavior, knowledge, and intentions to change https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32553 Mon 18 Jun 2018 10:09:23 AEST ]]> Prevalence, Trends, and Correlates of Joint Patterns of Aerobic and Muscle-Strengthening Activity and Sleep Duration: A Pooled Analysis of 359,019 Adults in the National Health Interview Survey 2004-2018 https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46979 Mon 12 Dec 2022 17:08:30 AEDT ]]> Match Running Performance in Australian Football Is Related to Muscle Fiber Typology https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54778 4.17 m·s−1), and acceleration (in meters per second squared), while intercept and slopes were calculated using power law. Carnosine content was quantified by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the gastrocnemius and soleus and expressed as a carnosine aggregate z score (CAZ score) to estimate muscle fiber typology. Mixed linear models were used to determine the association between CAZ score and running performance. Results: The mean (range) CAZ score was −0.60 (−1.89 to 1.25), indicating that most athletes possessed a greater estimated proportion of type I muscle fibers. A greater estimated proportion of type I fibers (ie, lower CAZ score) was associated with a larger accumulation of HSR (>4.17 m·s−1) and an increased ability to maintain HSR as the peak period duration increased. Conclusion: AF athletes with a greater estimated proportion of type I muscle fibers were associated with a greater capacity to accumulate distance running at high speeds, as well as a greater capacity to maintain higher output of HSR running during peak periods as duration increases.]]> Mon 11 Mar 2024 15:21:17 AEDT ]]> The Biomechanics Research and Innovation Challenge: Development, Implementation, Uptake, and Reflections on the Inaugural Program https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55068 Mon 08 Apr 2024 13:20:52 AEST ]]> Results from Australia's 2018 report card on physical activity for children and youth https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35424 Mon 05 Aug 2019 12:59:29 AEST ]]> Impact of Embedding High-Intensity Interval Training in Schools and Sports Training on Children and Adolescent's Cardiometabolic Health and Health-Related Fitness: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53237  .05).
