Study aim:
The study aimed to investigate the effects of age and gender on game-related performance (GRP) and the associations between GRP data and official game-related statistics (GRS).
Material and methods:
Seventeen U19, fifteen U16 boys, and thirteen U16 girls from the Hungarian national teams were monitored during 15 international pre-matches. GRP data were collected using WIMU PRO. GRS were selected from official box scores. A Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA followed by Dunn’s test was used to analyse differences between age groups and genders. Pearson correlation was used to examine the relationship between GRS and GRP.
Results:
Significant differences were found between U16 girls and boys in maximum speed (
Conclusion:
Among male players, GRS are more related to physical performance than in female players. As age increases, physicality becomes more important. High-intensity variables are most often correlated with GRS, highlighting the importance of focusing on intensity during match preparation.
