Team-based sports

Outdoor court games (tennis, volleyball) water-based, ice-based and sand-based sports.

Participants with a mean age ≥ 18 years

Research with the mean age of athletes below the age of ≤ 18 years.

Elite-level, able-bodied, participants playing at the elite domestic competition for their respective team sport or international representation above U/18 competition

Sub-elite-level, amateur and novice athletes or athletes not playing within the top tier of their respective domestic league/competitions. Athletes with a physical or mental disability. Referees & Officials

Official team activities: including competition/game/match observations and training sessions (e.g., small sided games, match simulations, individual training drills)

Validation or reliability studies on wearable technologies using athletes in an experimental setting

GPS/GNSS-based trackers (sampling ≥ 5 Hz)

Optical/LPS-based Camera Systems

Accelerometers

Acceleration or deceleration events measured during designated team activities of any magnitude and measured in any available metric (e.g., counts, metres, time spent, average acceleration, acceleration load) that is not combined with any separate metric (e.g., metabolic power)

Combined metrics (metabolic power, repeat high-intensity efforts, PlayerLoad)
