Haycraft, JAZ, Kovalchik, S, Pyne, DB, and Robertson, S. Classification of players across the Australian Rules football participation pathway based on physical characteristics. J Strength Cond Res 36(3): 702-709, 2022-This study investigated the utility of physical fitness and movement ability tests to differentiate and classify players into Australian Football League (AFL) participation pathway levels. Players (n = 293, age 10.9-19.1 years) completed the following tests; 5-m, 10-m, and 20-m sprint, AFL planned agility, vertical jump (VJ), running VJ, 20-m multistage fitness test (MSFT), and athletic ability assessment. A multivariate analysis of variance between AFL participation pathway levels was conducted, and a classification tree determined the extent to which players could be allocated to relevant levels. The magnitude of differences between physical fitness and movement ability were level-dependent, with the largest standardized effect size (ES) between Local U12, Local U14, and older levels for most physical fitness tests (ES: -4.64 to 5.02), except the 5-m and 10-m sprint. The 20-m, 5-m, AFL agility, 20-m MSFT, overhead squat, and running VJ (right) contributed to the classification model, with 57% overall accuracy reported (43% under cross-validation). National U16 players were easiest to classify (87%), while National U18 players were most difficult (0%). Physical fitness tests do not seem to differentiate between players after selection into AFL talent pathway levels. Other attributes (i.e., skill, psychological, and sociocultural) should be prioritized over physical fitness and movement attributes by selectors/coaches when considering selection of talented players.
海克拉夫特、JAZ、科瓦尔奇克、S、派恩、DB 和罗伯逊 S. 根据身体特征对澳大利亚足球比赛参与途径的球员进行分类。J 力量与体能研究 36（3）：702-709，2022-本研究调查了体能和运动能力测试在区分和分类球员进入澳大利亚足球联赛（AFL）参与途径水平方面的效用。球员（n=293，年龄 10.9-19.1 岁）完成了以下测试；5 米、10 米和 20 米冲刺、AFL 计划敏捷性、垂直跳跃（VJ）、跑动 VJ、20 米多阶段体能测试（MSFT）和运动能力评估。对 AFL 参与途径水平之间的多变量方差进行了分析，分类树确定了球员可以分配到相关水平的程度。身体素质和运动能力之间的差异大小取决于水平，大多数身体素质测试的标准化效应量（ES）在本地 U12、本地 U14 和年龄较大的水平之间最大（ES：-4.64 至 5.02），除了 5 米和 10 米冲刺。20 米、5 米、AFL 敏捷性、20 米 MSFT、高翻、和跑动 VJ（右）为分类模型做出了贡献，报告的总体准确率为 57%（交叉验证下为 43%）。国家 U16 球员最容易分类（87%），而国家 U18 球员最难分类（0%）。体能测试似乎无法区分 AFL 人才途径水平选择后的球员。在考虑选拔有天赋的球员时，选拔者/教练应优先考虑技能、心理和社会文化等属性，而不是身体素质和运动属性。
