“…The influence of the playing period on the performance of the players has been studied in other sports, such as futsal [ 47 , 48 ], basketball [ 49 ], rugby 7 [ 50 , 51 ], hockey [ 52 , 53 ], and handball [ 54 ], with the aim of studying the effect of fatigue on the physical demands of players during competition. A differentiation of beach handball compared to other collaboration-opposition sports that use common space and simultaneous practice would be the regulatory conditioner with respect to the final score that is determined by the independence of the result of each set.…”

This cross-sectional study aims to analyze the physical demands of elite beach handball players during an official competition. Nine elite female (mean age: 24.6 ± 4.0 years; body weight: 62.4 ± 4.6 kg; body height: 1.68 ± 0.059 m; training experience: 5 years; training: 6 h/week) beach handball players of the Spanish National Team were recruited for this study. A Global Positioning System was incorporated on each player’s back to analyze their movement patterns. Speed and distance were recorded at a sampling frequency of 15 Hz, whereas acceleration was recorded at 100 Hz by means of a built-in triaxial accelerometer. The main finding of the study is that 53% of the distance travelled is done at speeds between 1.5 and 5 km/h and 30% of the distance is between 9 and 13 km/h (83% of the total distance covered), which shows the intermittent efforts that beach handball involves at high intensity, as reflected in the analysis of the internal load with 62.82 ± 14.73% of the game time above 80% of the maximum heart rate. These data help to orientate training objectives to the physical demands required by the competition in order to optimize the players’ performance.

“…This measurement represents an unspecific assessment of the amount and magnitude of specific high-intensity movements in basketball which cannot be registered by GPS (Weaving et al, 2014; Puente et al, 2017). The impacts per minute variable suggests the number of changes of direction, and actions involving the use of the body such as blocking, rebounding or defending (Barbero et al, 2014), which are an essential measure of physical load (Chambers et al, 2015). Per example, numerous short sprints might occur in successive different directions, therefore the development of a multi change of direction is expected to help fitness trainers and coaches for training evaluation purposes, among others (Padulo et al, 2016).…”

Training and Competition Load Monitoring and Analysis of Women's Amateur Basketball by Playing Position: Approach Study

Currently, the number of women involved in sport is increasing. Although, research on their characteristics and performance is scarce. A great amount of research on men's basketball is available, but it is unknown if it can be applied to women's basketball. The objective of this research was to characterize the internal and external load performed by female basketball players during training and sports competition according to playing positions through inertial devices. The participants in the following study were 10 amateur basketball players who competed at regional level (21.7 ± 3.65 years; 59.5 ± 12.27 kg, and 168.5 ± 3.56). Data were collected in games of the final phase (n = 8) and from 5 vs. 5 training tasks (n = 47). All the analyses were run according to playing positions. Each player was equipped with a GarminTM Heart Rate Band and WimuTM inertial device that monitored physical activity and movement in real time. The results obtained showed that the load experienced during competition was significantly higher (p < 0.001) than during training (Heart Rate, Player Load, Steps, Jumps, and Impacts). There were also differences according to playing positions, mainly between the backcourt and frontcourt players (p < 0.001). The players must work in higher areas of heart rate during training, mainly in Z4 and Z5, increasing their HRmáx y HRavg. The training doesn't equal the load supported and the distance performed in competition, so it is necessary to pay more attention during training. This information allows us to develop adequate training protocols adjusted to the specific individual requirements of the sports competition.

“…To determine movement patterns, such as speed and distance covered, within fencing research has traditionally used time motion analysis (Aquili et al, 2013;Wylde, Tan, & O'Donoghue, 2013;Wylde & Yong, 2015). Within recent years the analysis of movement has changed due to technological advances and has been undertaken using tri-axial accelerometer based systems (Barbero, Granda-Vera, Calleja-González, & Del Coso, 2014;Chandler, Pinder, Curran, & Gabbett, 2014;Dempsey et al, 2018;Montgomery, Pyne, & Minahan, 2010;Twist et al, 2014). However, there has been no research assessing the movement demands of epée fencing performance.…”
