Full textThe purpose of this study was to determine if anthropometric, performance and psychological measures could predict selection and acceptance of participants in a Talent Identification (TID) program for cycling. Participants (n = 72; male = 46; female = 26; age = 15.4 ± 2.0 yrs) underwent measurements of height, body mass, maximal aerobic power, sprint running speed, leg power, sport commitment, explanatory style and physical self-concept. Discriminant function analysis was used to determine which of these variables related to both selection and acceptance into the cycling TID squad. Maximal aerobic power, running speed, and leg power made significant (p <.05) contributions to selection into the TID program. Sport commitment was predictive of accepting the invitation into the TID program. The results suggest that although physical performance capacities were predictive of selection into the TID squad, sport commitment was the greatest predictor of acceptance. The findings suggest the importance of considering psychological measures in the initial phase of a TID program.

Full textThe purpose of the present study was to examine the validity of using a combination of submaximal swim measures and log book variables to predict 400-m maximal swim performance in well -trained triathletes. Seven well -trained triathletes (five male, two female) recorded subjective ratings of well being (quality of sleep, fatigue, stress and muscle soreness), training effort (day prior), resting morning heart rate and previous day's training details (minutes swum, bicycled or run) in daily training logs for a 42 -day period during the preparation phase of a triathlon -training year. Each participant also completed three consecutive swimming performance measures (200-m and 500-m submaximal, and 400-m maximal swims) at two of four regular weekly swim -training sessions. Statistical analyses revealed that 200-m submaximal swim time (r = 0.602, p = 0.000), 500-m submaximal swim time (r = 0.655, p = 0.000), quality of sleep (r = 0.201, p = 0.039), stress (r = 0.251, p = 0.013) and training effort (day prior) (r = 0.314, p = 0.003) were significantly correlated to the variation in 400-m maximal swim performance. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that 49.4% of the variance in 400-m maximal swim performance was predicted by the 200-m and 500- m submaximal swim times. A combination of submaximal swim measures and log book variables significantly enhanced (F (7, 68) = 3.324, p = 0.004) the prediction such that 58.4% of the variance in 400-m maximal swim performance was explained. These results suggest that a combination of log book variables and submaximal swim measures account for a significant amount of the variance in 400-m maximal swim performance and that a combination of these variables may be used to monitor individual responses to swim training in well -trained triathletes.

Full textConsidering the large financial investment made by broadcasters and sponsors in the game of rugby union recently, the nature of elite rugby as a spectacle is of great interest to these parties as well as the game's administrators. What style of play characterises international rugby Test matches? Are they exhibitions of the best that rugby has to offer, characterised by an exciting, expansive and inherently risky style of play? Or do their participants reflect a defensive, no -mistakes, safety -first attitude borne of the weight of national expectations and the spectre of losing a high -profile and financially rewarding position in the national team? Is an expansive style of play conducive to winning Test matches? Which national teams exhibited expansive styles of play in their respective international competitions in 1998?
Studies have been conducted using notational analysis to identify and measure indicators of a team's willingness to play expansive rugby (Carter and Potter, cited in Ackford,1995c; Thomas, cited in Ackford, 1997c). Honan (1996) has identified two indicators of a team's use of an expansive game style. Firstly, the attack ratio calculates number of general play passes (discounting scrumhalf passes) divided by the number of general play kicks. The second indicator counts the number of passes per attack. Eight games from the 1998 Five Nations Championship and all six games of the 1998 Tri- Nations series were analysed. The total number of passes, kicks, runs, successful runs, tries, penalties, conversions and phases were recorded. From this data, each team's attack ratio, number of passes per attack, successful run percentage and run -kick ratio were calculated.
Two further indicators of a team's style of play were taken and measured from Thomas' study (Ackford, 1997c). These were the percentage of total points scored as tries and the time in the match that these tries were scored. Results revealed that, in their respective international competitions, England (336%), France (345%) and Scotland (304%) had higher attack ratios than New Zealand (257%), South Africa (203%) and Australia (150%). New Zealand, out of the eight countries analysed, had the highest number of passes per attack with 1.64 (and did not win a game in the Tri-Nations series) while Australia had the lowest number of passes per attack with 1.18.
These results would appear to indicate that the 1998 Tri-Nations series exhibited less expansive rugby than was evidenced in all of the 1998 Five Nations games played by England and Scotland and the majority of games played by France. This suggests either a more effective defensive contribution in 1998 Tri-Nations matches or a greater willingness to attack with the ball -in -hand on the part of England, Scotland and France. In light of England's performances against Australia and South Africa in late 1998 and Scotland's winning of the 1999 Five Nations Championship, this data might have proved a useful predictor of these countries' intended tactical direction.
