“…The same breakfast was consumed, on average, (Rumbold et al 2011a). In brief, the session simulated netball exercise, comprising of movements such as walking, jogging and running forwards and backwards, turning, jumping, lunging, sidestepping, footspecific agility and a choice reaction task, completed without a netball (Gasston and Simpson 2004). Heart rate and physical activity counts (Actigraph TM GT1M) were recorded over 60 s epochs during the netball-based exercise and sedentary period.…”

“…Finally, no attempt has currently been made to relate activity profiles of netball umpires to appropriate fitness testing requirements or to validate existing fitness testing protocols for umpires. For example, Gasston and Simpson (2004) used an analysis of netball player movement during matches to design the Netball Specific Fitness Test, an incremental test involving forward, backward and sideways movement, jumping, lunging, turning, and choice reaction (Gasston & Simpson, 2004). The test was found to be representative of movement in netball matches and to distinguish between players of different standards.…”

This review has outlined the existing literature relating to activity profiles in elite netball umpires. In particular, the physical (distance travelled), physiological (heart rate), and technical (movement classifications) characteristics have been described. The limited available literature report that on average elite netball umpires travel approximately 3850 m during a 60 min match. Up to approximately 50% of the match is spent standing, with only around 25% of the match in higher intensity movements such as jogging, sprinting, side stepping, or changing direction. Work:rest ratios are typically approximately 1:3 during match play, with additional recovery in the intervals between quarters. This includes an average of 140 sprints for a duration of 2.8 s. Elite umpires spend around 10% of the match at greater than 92% peak heart rate, with the majority (approximately 55%) between 75 and 92% peak heart rate. These characteristics may benefit umpires and strength and conditioning practitioners when designing training programmes. The literature also report a reduction in distance travelled by elite umpires as the match progresses. An accompanying decrease in heart rate suggests that this is not caused by physiological fatigue mechanisms but is a result of technical adjustments in the movement patterns utilised. Indeed, elite umpires tend to sidestep less and walk or stand more as the match progresses. Additionally, gaps in the existing literature have been highlighted, including the relationship between perceptual-cognitive processes and movement, and the application of fitness testing requirements to umpire activity profiles.

“…3 However, limited research attention has been given to the development of a netball-specific test replicating key game movements. 4 Netball is the most popular female team sport in various countries, including Australia 5 and New Zealand. 6 The growing popularity and interest in netball lead to the development of an international, competition consisting of various Australian and https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2018.04.002 1440-2440/© 2018 Sports Medicine Australia.…”

“…However, isolated test protocols to assess sprint speed, 10 change-of-direction ability, 11,12 jump performance, 10,13 and endurance 14 have primarily been cited in the existing literature, with only one study describing a netball-specific fitness test comprising various fitness elements and movement sequences specific to netball. 4 Previously, Gasston and Simpson 4 developed the Netball Specific Fitness Test (NSFT) using netball literature and expert insight. The NSFT is a continuous test that involves 10 different movement tasks encompassing multi-directional running, ladder running, sidestepping, repeated jumps, and reactive lunging bouts.…”

“…During the NSFT, players complete up to 10 repeated circuits of the movement sequence, with each circuit progressively increasing in speed from an initial walking pace (first stage) to a maximal sprint pace (tenth stage). 4 Despite the novelty of the NSFT, it was developed over a decade ago and might not be representative of modern netball game demands as indicated by available data. 9 In addition, the reliability and validity of the NSFT were not definitively examined.…”
