Rapid horizontal accelerations and decelerations are crucial events enabling the changes of
velocity and direction integral to sports involving random intermittent multi-directional …

The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize the associations of eccentric force
variables during jum** and eccentric lower-limb strength with vertical jump performance …

Professional soccer clubs invest significantly into the development of their academy
prospects with the hopes of producing elite players. Talented youngsters in elite …

Basketball is a sport that relies heavily on an athlete's ability to rapidly decelerate in order to
change direction, avoid a defender, or create space. Recent literature has proposed novel …

This study aimed to (1) assess the test-retest reliability and sensitivity of kinematic and
kinetic metrics from 5-m, 10-m, and 20-m horizontal deceleration ability (HDA) tests;(2) …

Profile determination in field hockey is critical to determining athletes' physical strengths and
weaknesses, and is key in planning, programming, and monitoring training. This study …

Physical activity generally declines with increasing age and lack of enjoyment is a noted
barrier to older adults participating in traditional exercise programs. Walking basketball is a …

Movement speed is considered essential for success in elite tennis. The aim of the present
study was to develop a model of movement speed components and quantify their age–and …

Team sports require athletes to rapidly reduce whole body momentum and velocity, to
efficiently change direction, or to avoid defenders. Decelerations often occur following …

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between knee and ankle strength
and horizontal deceleration performance following different sprint distances. Fifty-seven (n …
