Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The aim of this study was to verify if yo-yo intermittent recovery test (level 2) (yo-yo IR2) score is linked to Australian football (AF) performance through match exercise intensity. Six week prospective study design. Twenty-one data sets were recorded from nine individual players that completed the yo-yo IR2, and played an Australian Football League match in the first five rounds of the 2010 season wearing a global positioning system (GPS) unit. Simple mediation modelling was used to analyse the inter-relationship between yo-yo IR2 score, match exercise intensity and AF performance. Playing position and experience were also incorporated into the model to identify conditional affects. A significant direct relationship was observed between yo-yo IR2 and number of ball disposals (p<0.1) and a significant indirect relationship was observed between yo-yo IR2 and number of ball disposals through distance travelled at high intensity (HIR mmin(-1)) (p<0.1). Moderation analysis showed that playing position affected the relationship between of yo-yo IR2 and HIR mmin(-1) (p<0.1) and HIR mmin(-1) and total ball disposals (p<0.1). Playing experience also significantly affected the relationship between HIR mmin(-1) and total ball disposals. This study is the first to identify the effects of yo-yo IR2 on total ball disposals through HIR mmin(-1) performed during AF matches, and that playing position and playing experience affect these interactions.
