Average total distance (TD) ranged from 10,274 m (Australia) to 11,389 m (Italy). Comparison between positions showed that centre-backs generally covered the least distance (TD = 10,178 m; HSA = 1,886 m-1,940 m; VHSA = 391 m-621 m) and wide-midfielders the greatest distance (TD = 11,654 m; HSA = 3,006 m-3,406 m; VHSA = 753 m-1,216 m). This review of timemotion analysis demonstrated fairly similar outcomes for most domestic top-level leagues but suggests a strong influence of contextual variables. The consistently reported positional differences likely reflect the varied tactical demands of each position. The review proposes reaching a consensus on velocity threshold definitions and integrating contextual information in future research.]]> Wed 04 May 2022 14:14:33 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49858 Tue 06 Jun 2023 20:32:36 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13392 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:15:50 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46181 J Strength Cond Res 35(2): 353–359, 2021—To evaluate the influence of the active pill phase versus withdrawal phase of a monophasic oral contraceptive (OC) cycle on exercise-induced muscle damage and inflammation after eccentric resistance exercise. Eighteen resistance-trained female OC users (age: 25.6 ± 4.2 years, height: 162.4 ± 5.0 cm, and body mass: 58.1 ± 5.7 kg) performed an eccentric squat-based exercise during the active pill phase and withdrawal phase of their OC cycle. Muscle soreness, counter movement jump (CMJ), and blood markers of muscle damage and inflammation were evaluated before and postexercise (0, 2, 24, and 48 hours). Creatine kinase (CK) values were higher in the withdrawal (181.8 ± 89.8 U·L⁻¹) than in the active pill phase (144.0 ± 39.7 U·L⁻¹) (p < 0.001). The highest CK concentrations and muscle soreness values were observed 24 hours postexercise (217.9 ± 117.5 U·L⁻¹ and 44.7 ± 19.7, respectively) compared with baseline (115.3 ± 37.4 U·L⁻¹ and 4.4 ± 9.2, respectively; p < 0.001). In addition, a decrease in CMJ immediately postexercise (20.23 ± 4.6 cm) was observed in comparison with baseline (24.2 ± 6.1 cm), which was not yet recovered 24 hours postexercise (21.9 ± 5.9 cm; p < 0.001). No other phase or time effects were observed. An eccentric squat-based exercise session elicits muscle damage but no inflammation response in resistance-trained women. Furthermore, the highest CK concentrations observed in the withdrawal phase suggest that this phase might be more vulnerable to muscle damage and, therefore, less adequate to administer high training loads. However, the lack of differences in other muscle damage variables between OC phases does not warrant any guidance on the active pill versus withdrawal phase.]]> Mon 14 Nov 2022 09:55:35 AEDT ]]>
