- Abstract
- Background: Repeated high-intensity effort (RHIE) activity is known to be a critical component of high-intensity, intermittent team sports. Despite the importance of this quality, there are few studies comparing the RHIE activity of higher- and lower-ranked teams competing in the same competition. This study characterized the distribution of recovery times between RHIE in Top 4 and Bottom 4 semi-elite rugby league players. Hypothesis: Players from Top 4 teams will engage in a greater frequency of RHIE bouts than Bottom 4 teams, with shorter recovery periods between consecutive efforts. Study Design: Cohort study. Methods: A total of 104 semi-elite rugby league players from 11 teams wore global positioning system units during 28 Queensland Cup rugby league matches. Recovery between efforts was classified as <10, 11 to 20, 21 to 30, 31 to 60, and 61 to 120 seconds. Results: The majority of RHIE bouts were performed with
