Diagnostic Test: Anthropometric and sports performance assessment

Interventions

Anthropometric and sports performance assessment DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

According to the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) standards, sixteen anthropometric variables have been assessed to characterize the athlete's anthropometric profile. The counter-movement jump assessments were conducted using a ForceDecks Max platform. During matches, the players' GPS-derived external Load Metrics were monitored using 18 Hz WIMU Pro GPS units. Normality tests of all variables will be performed. Certificated anthropometrists performed the anthropometric assessment twice. A third measurement will be performed if the difference between these measures exceeds 5% for skinfolds and 1% for all other variables. Countermovement jump tests were conducted in duplicate, and the higher measurements were recorded. In-match GPS-derived external load metrics of different matches will be downloaded and analyzed.
