Gamble, Declan; Spencer, Matthew; Mccarren, Andrew; Moyna, Niall (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The objectives of this study were to; quantify positional differences in the activity profiles of Gaelic football players and to evaluate decrements in physical performance during a pre-season competition. Global positioning ... -
Assessing the individual relationships between physical test improvements and external load match parameters in male professional football players: A brief report
Byrkjedal, Per Thomas; Bjørnsen, Thomas; Luteberget, Live Steinnes; Ivarsson, Andreas; Spencer, Matthew (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Purpose: This study aimed to explore whether a meaningful improvement in physical performance following an in-season strength training intervention can be related to external load match parameters at an individual level ... -
Association Between Physical Performance Tests and External Load During Scrimmages in Highly Trained Youth Ice Hockey Players
Byrkjedal, Per Thomas; Bjørnsen, Thomas; Luteberget, Live; Lindberg, Kolbjørn Andreas; Ivarsson, Andreas; Haukali, Eirik; Spencer, Matthew (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose: To investigate the relationship between physical performance tests and on-ice external load from simulated games (scrimmages) in ice hockey.

External load variables affect recovery markers up to 72 h after semiprofessional football matches
Wiig, Håvard; Raastad, Truls; Luteberget, Live; Ims, Ingvar; Spencer, Matthew (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Player tracking devices are commonly used to monitor external load from training and matches in team sports. Yet, how the derived external load variables relate to fatigue and recovery post-training or post-match ... -
In-season autoregulation of one weekly strength training session maintains physical and external load match performance in professional male football players
Byrkjedal, Per Thomas; Thunshelle, Atle; Spencer, Matthew; Luteberget, Live Steinnes; Ivarsson, Andreas; Vårvik, Fredrik Tonstad; Lindberg, Kolbjørn Andreas; Bjørnsen, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The aim of this study was to compare the effects of autoregulating strength training volume based on an objective (external load match performance) versus a subjective (self-selected) method in professional male football ... -
Simulated game-based ice hockey match design (scrimmage) elicits greater intensity in external load parameters compared with official matches
Byrkjedal, Per Thomas; Bjørnsen, Thomas; Ivarsson, Andreas; Spencer, Matthew; Luteberget, Live Steinnes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objective: A limited number of studies have explored the external load experienced in indoor sports such as ice hockey, and few the link between training and match performance. As a paucity exists within this topic, this ...
