  • Evolution of Physical Demands of Australian Football League Matches from 2005 to 2017: a Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Samuel J
    Janetzki et al. Sports Medicine - Open (2021) 7:28 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40798-021-00301-1 SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Open Access Evolution of Physical Demands of Australian Football League Matches from 2005 to 2017: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Samuel J. Janetzki1* , Pitre C. Bourdon1, Kevin I. Norton1, Jackson C. Lane1 and Clint R. Bellenger1,2 Abstract Background: There is extensive research investigating the match demands of players in the Australian Football League (AFL). Objective: This systematic literature review and meta-regression sought to analyse the evolution of in-game demands in AFL matches from 2005 to 2017, focusing on the relationship between volume and intensity. Methods: A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted. Included studies examined the physical demands of AFL matches utilising global positioning system (GPS) technology. Meta-regression analysed the shift in reported volume (total distance and total match time) and intensity (metres per minute [m.min−1], sprint duration and acceleration) metrics for overall changes, across quarters and positional groups (forwards, nomadics and defenders) from 2005 to 2017 inclusive and for each year between 2005 and 2007, 2007 and 2010, 2010 and 2012, and 2012 and 2015/2017 breakpoints. Results: Distance (p = 0.094), m.min−1 (p = 0.494), match time (p = 0.591), time over 18 km·h−1 (p=0.271), and number of accelerations greater than 4 km·h−1 (p=0.498) and 10 km·h−1 (p=0.335) in 1 s did not change from 2005 to 2017.

    VAFA Field Umpires 2012 Coaching Manual EXPECTATIONS In preparing to umpire in the VAFA in 2012, I’d like you to consider what the coaches expectations are of you as umpires. A few thoughts are listed below but you might have others in mind: Strive for an excellent knowledge and understanding of the Laws, their Interpretations and the Spirit of the Laws Train regularly with purpose and enthusiasm Attend and participate fully in coaching sessions Seek continual self-improvement Attempt to apply feedback from your coaches Be open, honest and approachable in your communication with your coaches and the football community Be loyal and supportive of your colleagues Build positive relationships with the football community Take pride in the job that you’re doing Be a role model in behaviour and personal appearance Place the safety and welfare of the match participants above all else More, please… In the two umpire system, umpires using their partner’s whistle as a trigger In the three umpire system, the MZ umpire taking control of ball ups and boundary throw ins from around 35 metres to the arc.

  • Yarra Junior Football League Umpires Information Booklet Season 2017
    YARRA JUNIOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE UMPIRES INFORMATION BOOKLET SEASON 2017 Umpire within the Spirit of the Laws Carry Out Administrative Duties Above all “Enjoy” your Umpiring Message from the Umpires Coaching Panel Congratulations to all Field, Boundary and Goal Umpires who have made a decision to either continue with the YJFL this year, or umpire with us for the first time. This Information Booklet should be taken to all matches as it covers many aspects of umpiring and will answer some queries that may arise. An umpire is required to be a person of sound character, willing to accept advice and constructive feedback and above all, to interpret the rules of the game in a fair and equitable manner. He or she must always act in a manner which places the umpire above reproach and which ensures the integrity of the YJFL and the Umpiring Group. Once an umpire lodges a Registration Form it will be noted by the Umpires coaching panel and will confirm acceptance as a listed YJFL umpire. You will not be appointed to YJFL matches until registered. We wish you enjoyment and success in your umpiring; keeping in mind your level of commitment will have a bearing on your level of success. Umpires Coaching Panel. YJFL Umpiring 1 FITNESS Fitness plays a very big part in the standard of your performance. The less physical fatigue you suffer during a match, the less will be the mental fatigue and in turn the better your decision making will be. For this reason, Field, Boundary and Goal umpires should be prepared to attend pre-season training and each Wednesday or Thursday night session throughout the season.
