“…Skinfolds taken from 7 [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] and 8 [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] sites were the most commonly used procedures, performed in nine and seven studies respectively. Skinfolds at 6 sites [47][48][49][50], bioelectrical impedance analysis [51][52][53] and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) [54] were also used to assess body composition. Body fat percentage (n = 18) was the most frequently reported variable as it can be calculated from all testing methods [31][32][33][34][35][36][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52]54,55].…”

Background Rugby union match demands are complex, requiring the development of multiple physical qualities concurrently. Quantifying the physical qualities of age grade rugby union players is vital for practitioners to support athlete preparation and long-term development. Aim This systematic review aimed to identify the methods used to quantify the physical qualities of male age grade (� Under-20) rugby union players, present the normative values for physical qualities, and compare physical qualities between age grades and positions. Methods Electronic databases were systematically reviewed from the earliest record to November 2019 using key words relating to sex, age, sport and physical testing. Results Forty-two studies evaluated the physical qualities of age grade rugby union players. Seventy-five tests were used to quantify body composition, muscular strength, muscular power, linear speed, change of direction ability, aerobic capacity and anaerobic endurance. Thirtyone studies met the eligibility criteria to present the physical qualities. Physical qualities differentiate between age groups below Under-16, while differences in older age groups (Under-16 to Under-20) are not clear. Positional differences are present with forwards

“…The method of the multidimensional analysis is also used in other kinds of physical training and sport: for network analysis of competitive sports [33,34]; forecasting of player's success [35] and forecast of the maximum HR at children and teenagers [36]; forecasting of injuries at athletes in track and field events [37], American soccer [38], snowboard [39].…”

Purpose:to develop structure of training process creation in a year cycle of qualified athletes' preparation in aerobics (woman). Material:qualified athletes in aerobics participated in a research (n=46, age 20-22 years, height is 168±2, 4 cm, body weight is 62±4, 2 kg). Athletes were divided into experimental group (n=24) and control group (n=22). It was determined the level of special preparation: performance of standard combinations of basic aerobic steps. Results:The general principles of training programs preparation are developed. Programs include basic and variable components. The basic component of programs represents the standardized structure of means and methods selection of athletes' preparation. The variable component of programs contained special means and methods differ on character and volume. One of the main parts of a variable component is the psychophysical training. It is based on performance of special sets of exercises in combination with mental figurative representations of motor nature. Conclusions:It is appropriate to carry out planning of training process in a year cycle of preparation considering specific features of factorial structure of athletes' preparation.

“…Currently there is a paucity of such data with a limited number of studies focusing on long-term career progression in a range of male team sports; rugby union (Fontana, Colosio, Da Lozzo, & Pogliaghi, 2017), rugby league (Till, et al, 2015), Australian football (Burgess, Naughton, & Hopkins, 2012) and soccer (Gonaus and Muller, 2012; le Gall, Carling, Williams, & Reilly, 2010). Each of these studies identified that a combination of anthropometric and physical performance characteristics discriminated between those athletes deemed successful and non-successful in their future careers.…”
