RESEARCH - Physical activity Exercise Right for Active Ageing program Reseach led by: Christina Ekegren, Darshini Ayton, Helen Skouteris, Natasha Brusco and Sze-Ee Soh. A large study of older Australians has found more would exercise - and exercise better - if classes were subsidised. The Monash University research studied exercise classes all over the country, which had been commissioned and run by national exercise industry group, Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA). The classes involved 7,000 people over the age of 65 living in the community. The research found subsidised 12-week exercise classes of low-to-moderate intensity, and run by accredited exercise professionals, led to “significant improvements in physical function" and less time sitting. ◾ Media release - https://lnkd.in/gjGZfmNB ◾ Media release - https://lnkd.in/gq3dtFga If you've conducted, planned, or are currently engaged in sport research in Australia, consider adding it to the Clearinghouse for Sport, Register of Sport Research - https://lnkd.in/gjjZRCp5 #evidencebase #AusNSRA #clearinghouseforsport #playwell

RESEARCH - Sport technology Artificial intelligence applications in the football codes: A systematic review Isaiah Elstak, Paul Salmon, and Scott McLean Journal of Sport Sciences (14 August 2024) The aim of this systematic review conducted by the University of the Sunshine Coast was to identify and assess the applications of AI in football codes. A secondary aim was to identify whether risks associated with the implementation of AI in football had been considered. * 190 articles were reviewed, identifying nine application types - ranging from athlete evaluation, event detection, match outcome prediction, and injury detection/prediction. * 27 different AI models were identified - artificial neural networks was the most frequently applied. * 5 AI assessment metrics were identified - accuracy, specificity, sensitivity/recall, precision, and F1-score. * 4 potential risks were identified - data security, biased data, usability of equipment, and inappropriate load management. It is concluded that, though a wide range of AI applications currently exist, further work is required to develop AI for football and identify and manage potential risks. ◾ Research (open access) - https://lnkd.in/gsWeedvd If you've conducted, planned, or are currently engaged in sport research in Australia, consider adding it to the Clearinghouse for Sport, Register of Sport Research - https://lnkd.in/gjjZRCp5 #evidencebase #AusNSRA #clearinghouseforsport #winwell #playwell

REPORT A guide for implementing change in sport Amelia Carr, Helen Brown, Olivia Bramley, Avish Sharma, Jessica Rothwell, Nicola Bullock This Deakin University and Australian Institute Of Sport project aimed to uncover the factors that support or hinder the adoption of heat preparation guidelines and resources for Australian high-performance athletes. The 'Guide for implementing change' was designed to help identify and address barriers that slow or halt the uptake of evidence-based practices in any area, with the aim of greater adoption and use of new guidelines, resources and protocols that improve health, wellbeing and performance for athletes. ➡ This process can also apply to other policies and practices. The project partnered with leaders in Australian sport, including the Australian Olympic Committee, Paralympics Australia, Athletics Australia, and Paddle Australia to conduct the project, ensuring results would be translated into practice effectively. ◾ Report and resources (clearinghouse membership required) - https://lnkd.in/gwt5EJPz If you've conducted, planned, or are currently engaged in sport research in Australia, consider adding it to the Clearinghouse for Sport, Register of Sport Research - https://lnkd.in/gjjZRCp5 #evidencebase #AusNSRA #clearinghouseforsport #winwell #playwell
