Comyns, TM,Murphy, J, and O’Leary, D. Reliability, usefulness, and validity of field-based vertical jump measuring devices. J Strength Cond Res 37(8): 1594–1599, 2023—The purpose of this study was to examine the test-retest reliability, usefulness, and validity of field based devices, in determining jump height (JH) during a countermovement jump (CMJ). Twenty-one male (22.8 6 2.4 years; 1.82 6 0.07m; 86.0610.4 kg) and 7 female field sport athletes (20.561.5 years; 1.6560.06 m; 65.467.2 kg) performed 3CMJs with data simultaneously recorded using a force plate (criterion measure), Opto jump, Output Capture, and Push-Band 2.0. Reliability was determined by intraclass correlation (ICC) and …

Identifying The Characteristics, Constraints, And Enablers To Creating Value In Applied Performance Analysis, Denise Martin, Peter G. O'Donoghue, Jonathan Bradley, Sam Robertson, Denise Mcgrath

Articles

While applied performance analysts (PAs) are a well-established applied sports science practitioner group, there is no clear definition of the purpose of an analyst, their key relationships, or the expertise required to execute the role successfully. This research sought to understand how PA practitioners and educators perceive their role as applied PA practitioners. Twenty-seven applied PAs and educators with applied PA experience participated in six online focus groups, completing an online survey in advance. Reflexive thematic analysis of transcripts and survey data generated an overarching theme: embedded applied PA practitioners have a value co-creation role within performance ecosystems which is …
