Observed versus Expected Match- Running Outputs of International Female Rugby Sevens Players A thesis submitted to Massey University, Albany, New Zealand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Sport and Exercise Kirsty Yallop 2018 Primary Supervisor: Associate Professor Andrew Foskett Co-Supervisor: Associate Professor Ajmol Ali 1 Abstract Women’s rugby sevens is a new and emerging sport with limited knowledge, specifically on international female match-running outputs. It is a rare opportunity to conduct research on elite athletes, and even more so for an emerging women’s sport. The overall aim of this thesis is to establish and compare observed international female rugby sevens players’ match-running outputs versus theoretical expected match-running outputs (elite male players and an established sport, football). Another unknown aspect of the women’s rugby sevens game is how fatigue affects performance. The thesis also determines differences in match-running outputs of international female rugby sevens players from half-to-half, game-to-game and tournament-to-tournament. Global Positioning System (GPS) units worn on the players’ backs were used to collect data from 18 female rugby sevens players across 15 matches and 19 female football players across four matches. Reasons for the gaps found in match-running outputs and aspects that could be improved for optimal elite performance in female rugby sevens were explored. -
England Win USA Sevens
IV Wednesday 14th February, 2006 Sir Viv slams Lara’s absence England PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC): Former West Indies cricket captain Sir Vivian Richards is questioning Brian Lara’s absence from the forthcoming one-day international series in New Zealand. In a clear reference to the triple world record win USA holder being allowed to bypass the limited overs series in New Zealand, Sir Vivian told reporters at the Piarco International Airport where the Stanford Twenty/20 “Cheque Presentation Ceremony” was held Friday, that the West Indies should roster its best available team at all times. Sevens “I would like to have seen the best team in New Zealand, because presently we have not been hitting that note that we have been accus- tomed to hitting over the years, I am not going to single out anyone but you know what I am talk- ing about,” Sir Vivian said. Lighter workload The 36-year-old Lara is being given a lighter workload these days to preserve his career but Sir Vivian believes a New Zealand trip that usu- ally proves difficult for the Caribbean side requires the strongest team. “I would have really loved to see our best team in that part of the world, because we need our best players at this time,” Sir Vivian stated. The 53-year-old Antiguan, who captained a powerful and all-conquering West Indies team during the 1980s, also slammed the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for what he described as the inefficient manner in which they have carried out their administrative duties over the years. -

LC Paper No. CB(2)1675/16-17(02) Annex (1) Dedicated Project Team A dedicated project team set up under the Commissioner for Sports in the Home Affairs Bureau (HAB) is responsible for the preparation and implementation of the Kai Tak Sports Park (the Sports Park) project. The team comprises 18 members from different professions and grades, namely Administrative Officer, Leisure Services Manager, Architect, Landscape Architect, Building Services Engineer, Structural Engineer and Quantity Surveyor. Engineers and architects in the project team will examine the works details submitted by the successful bidder and take appropriate follow-up action to ensure the project is delivered with quality, in budget and on time. The Leisure Services Managers are responsible for formulating operational requirements and making recommendations on how monitor operation performance. The HAB has also engaged consultants to provide professional advice on operation, technical issues, quantity surveying, etc. and to solicit comments, through their networks, from overseas experts on the design, construction and management of an international stadium. (2) Problem of ageing venues At present, major events in Hong Kong are mainly held at the Hong Kong Stadium (built in 1952 and renovated in 1994), the Hong Kong Coliseum (commissioned in 1983) and the Queen Elizabeth Stadium (commissioned in 1980). The infrastructure and ancillary facilities of these venues cannot fully meet the latest standards for large-scale sports events and the expectations of international athletes and event organisers. Constrained by their size, location and environment, substantial improvement to these venues is also difficult. In general, these venues are not equipped with specially-designed media centre, doping control room, and office space for event organisers and technical staff. -
