Physical Profiles of Regional Academy Netball Players

Abstract: Objectives:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the height, body mass and physical characteristics of English regional academy netball players by age category (under 15s, under 17s and under 19s).Design and Methods: Data were collected on 50 regional academy players during the preseason period and comprised of height, body mass, and physical (single and triple hop, 5-and 10-m sprint, 505 change of direction speed, vertical jump, and cardiorespiratory fitness) characteristics. Conclusions: These findings h… Show more

“…Netball players must successfully complete multiple high-intensity short-duration sprints, cutting and pivot maneuvers, and up to 60 jump landings per game (12,15), all requiring high levels of concentric and eccentric force production (27). The literature provides normative data for sprinting speed (35,37,39), change of direction speed (CODS) (1,37,39), vertical jump (24,35,37,39), maximum strength (35,37), and a range of other factors including anthropometric and aerobic capacity measurements (35,39).…”

“…In academy athletes, mean sprint times for 5-and 10 m range from 1.10 and 1.88 s, respectively, for English academy netball players (37,39), to 1.25 and 2.07 s, respectively, for Australian academy netball players (35). Average vertical jump performances demonstrate great variation, ranging from 0.34 to 0.41 m for squat jump (SJ) and 0.35 to 0.46 m for countermovement jump (CMJ) height (35,39). Recently, Thomas et al (37) reported isometric mid-thigh pull strength (30.70 ± 5.26 N•kg¯¹) in academy netball players.…”

“…Comparative data on the physical and physiological profiles of U18, U19, U21 and senior elite netball players are not available for SA, and only a limited number of international studies have been conducted. [7,9,17] To these authors' knowledge, this is the first study to investigate and statistically compare the physical and physiological profiles of the various age groups from U18 to senior level of elite netball players in SA. The overall mean body weight of netball players in this study was 69.5 kg, which was similar to a study investigating female U19 players that reported a mean weight of 69.8 kg.…”

“…It has been previously observed that differences in physical characteristics are evident between starters and non-starters [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Likewise, previous research has established that physical characteristics differ between playing levels [ 12 , 13 , 14 ] and playing position [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. However, with the exception of a few studies [ 18 , 19 ], very little attention has been paid to the differences in physical characteristics between sports teams.…”
