Paddle-to-Podium
The announcement of Teahupo’o, Tahiti as the location for surfing events at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games prompted a focus on performance research specific to female surfers. Following a 14-year absence of competitive female surfing at Teahupo’o, athletes and coaches expressed concerns about safety and wellbeing due to the physical and technical demands of sprint-paddling into such challenging and dangerous waves. This paper presents a methodologi…
Strength and conditioning coaches’ perspectives of working with elite sportswomen
The balancing act
Athletes often require a mix of physical, physiological, psychological, and skill-based attributes that can be conflicting when competing at the highest level within their sport. When considering multiple variables in tandem, Pareto frontiers is a technique that can identify the observations that possess an optimal balance of the desired attributes, especially when these attributes are negatively correlated. This study presents Pareto frontiers a…
The mental health of elite athletes in developing nations of the greater Oceania region
Objective The mental health of elite athletes is reportedly similar to that of the general community, but there could be important differences across geographic regions and cultures. This study investigated the mental health and levels of psychological distress of elite athletes from developing nations in the Oceania region via a cross-sectional survey.Method The survey assessed the mental health status, psychological distress, and help-seeking b…
Acceleration and High-Speed Running Profiles of Women's International and Domestic Football Matches
Acceleration and deceleration are important given football is an intermittent sport with constant changes in velocity and direction. It is unclear, however, if the accelerations and decelerations performed by players differ between competition levels. The aim of the present study was to compare the acceleration, deceleration, and high-speed running profiles of players during international and domestic matches and to determine if differences were …
International High-Performance Sport Camps and the Development of Emplaced Physical Capital Among Pasifika Athletes
In this paper, the authors explore how athletes from the Global South interact with the material environment of an international training camp program in the lead up to a major event. Set within the context of Pasifika nations with colonial and missionary legacies, they examine the material, affective, sensory, and rhythmic forces at work to produce enabling or constraining capacities for emplaced physical capital in athletes. Driven by a desire …
Movement Patterns and Match Statistics in the National Rugby League Women's (NRLW) Premiership
As women's rugby league grows, the need for understanding the movement patterns of the sport is essential for coaches and sports scientists. The aims of the present study were to quantify the position-specific demographics, technical match statistics, and movement patterns of the National Rugby League Women's (NRLW) Premiership and to identify whether there was a change in the intensity of play as a function of game time played. A retrospective o…
Preparing for an Australian Football League Women's League Season
The aims were to investigate the externally measured weekly loads, and the distribution intensity relative to the 1-min maximal mean (MM) intensity of matches. Athletes ( n = 28) wore 10 Hz GNSS devices during training and matches. For the descriptive analysis, a range of movement variables were collected, including total distance, high-speed distance, very high-speed distance, acceleration, and acceleration load. Using raw GNSS files, 1-min movi…
