    Henderson, M.J. et al.: RUGBY SEVENS MATCH DEMANDS... Kinesiology 50(2018) Suppl.1:49-59 RUGBY SEVENS MATCH DEMANDS AND MEASUREMENT OF PERFORMANCE: A REVIEW Mitchell J. Henderson1,2,3,, Simon K. Harries2, Nick Poulos2, Job Fransen1,3, and Aaron J. Coutts1,3 1University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Sport & Exercise Discipline Group, Faculty of Health, Australia 2Australian Rugby Sevens, Australian Rugby Union (ARU), Sydney, Australia 3University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Human Performance Research Centre, Australia Review UDC: 796.333.3: 796.012.1 Abstract: The purpose of this review is to summarize the research that has examined the match demands of elite-level, men’s rugby sevens, and provide enhanced understanding of the elements contributing to successful physical and technical performance. Forty-one studies were sourced from the electronic database of PubMed, Google Scholar and SPORTDiscus. From these, twelve original investigations were included in this review. Positive match outcomes are the result of an interplay of successful physical, technical, and tactical performances. The physical performance of players (activity profile measurement from GPS) includes high relative total distance and high-speed distance values in comparison to other team sports. The technical performance of players (skill involvement measurement from match statistics) involves the execution of a range of specific offensive and defensive skills to score points or prevent the opponent from scoring. The factors influencing change in these performance constructs has not been investigated in rugby sevens. There is a paucity in the literature surrounding the situational and individual factors affecting physical and skill performance in elite rugby sevens competition. Future studies should investigate the factors likely to have the strongest influence on player performance in rugby sevens.

Ohio State plays next against Maryland on Wednesday, Sept. 25. FIELD HOCKEY For the second straight week, field hockey dropped a tough game against a good team.

Head coach Jarred Martin complimented the Wildcats after the game: “Northwestern deserved the win,” Martin said. “We started off slow and didn’t show the intensity we needed to succeed and that needs to change tomorrow at practice. We have good pieces and will keep working to build those together.

  • National Trends
    APPENDIX B – NATIONAL TRENDS TRENDS ANALYSIS Information released by Sports & Fitness Industry Association’s (SFIA) 2016 Study of Sports, Fitness, and Leisure Activities Topline Participation Report reveals that the most popular sport and recreational activities include: fitness walking, treadmill, running/jogging, free weights and road bicycling. Most of these activities appeal to both young and old alike, can be done in most environments, are enjoyed regardless of level of skill, and have minimal economic barriers to entry. These popular activities also have appeal because of their social application. For example, although fitness activities are mainly self-directed, people enjoy walking and biking with other individuals because it can offer a degree of camaraderie. Fitness walking has remained the most popular activity of the past decade by a large margin, in terms of total participants. Fitness walking participation last year was reported to be nearly 110 million Americans. Although fitness walking has the highest level of participation, it did report a 2.4% decrease in 2015 from the previous year. This recent decline in fitness walking participation paired with upward trends in a wide variety of other activities, especially in fitness and sports, suggests that active individuals are finding new ways to exercise and diversifying their recreational interests. In addition, the popularity of many outdoor adventure and water-based activities has experienced positive growth based on the most recent findings; however, many of these activities’ rapid increase in participation is likely a product of their relatively low user base, which may indicate that these sharp upward trends may not be sustained long into the future.
