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.

  • Howard Burton Shipley Martinsburg 1915, 1918, 1922 Waynesboro 1920-21 Infielder / Player-Manager
    Howard Burton Shipley Martinsburg 1915, 1918, 1922 Waynesboro 1920-21 Infielder / Player-Manager By Mark C. Zeigler When “Country” Morris was organizing his inaugural team for the Martinsburg club in 1915, one of the first people he recruited was his best friend from his college athletic days, Howard Burton Shipley. Born on January 17, 1890 in Anne Arundel County, MD , he was a native of Harmons, MD. His name has become recognized as part of University of Maryland history, which spanned almost 80 years, from 1896, when he served as the waterboy for the football team, until his death in 1976. A very popular figure, and colorful personality at Maryland, according to a story attributed to The Baltimore Sun, Shipley’s sense of humor stimulated all those with whom he associated on campus. A standout multi-sport athlete, Shipley entered Maryland Agricultural College while a prep student in 1908, and graduated from the college in the spring of 1914. He played football, basketball and baseball during that time. He helped organize and was team captain of the school’s second ever basketball team during the 1910-11 season, compiling a 3-9 record, as a student coach. After graduation he coached at Perkiomean Prep in Phoenixville, PA and Marshall College, before entering the service during World War I on June 24, 1918. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in the army two months later at Camp Gordon, GA. After the war, Shipley was the athletic director, baseball and basketball coach at the University of Delaware, until his contract was not renewed after the 1922 season.
