■在青少年运动中,生物成熟度和相对年龄的球员选择偏差有很好的记录。然而,对这些偏见之间的关系的研究有限。
■这项研究调查了存在,力量,盖尔足球中相对年龄和生物成熟度选择偏差的独立性。
■评估了来自两个人才学院的从U14到U16的247名男性球员的相对年龄(十进制年龄(DA))和生物学成熟度(生物学年龄和实际年龄之间的差异(BA-CA))。
■在U14(DA=0.62,d=0.40)和U15小队(DA=0.57)中观察到相对年龄效应(RAE)。d=0.26)。U14存在对提前到期状态的偏见(BA-CA=0.60,d=0.83),U15(BA-CA=0.78,d=0.89),和U16(BA-CA,d=1.01)。相对年龄和成熟状态之间存在微不足道的(U14,r(83)=-0.210;U15,r(88)=0.060)和低(U16,r(76)=0.352)相关性。
■严重的成熟度选择偏差和,在较小程度上,相对年龄偏差在青年盖尔足球中很明显。严重的,这些偏见是独立的结构。应该对教练和决策者进行教育,了解相对年龄和成熟的独特影响,以及解决这些偏见的策略。
UNASSIGNED: Biological maturity and relative age player selection biases are well documented in youth sports. However, there has been limited examination of the relationship between these biases.
UNASSIGNED: This study investigated the presence, strength, and independence of relative age and biological maturity selection biases in Gaelic football.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 247 male players from U14 to U16, from two talent academies were assessed for relative age (decimal age (DA)) and biological maturity (discrepancy between biological and chronological age (BA-CA)).
UNASSIGNED: Relative age effects (RAE) were observed in the U14 (DA = 0.62, d = 0.40) and U15 squads (DA = 0.57. d = 0.26) only. A bias towards advanced maturity status was present at U14 (BA-CA = 0.60, d = 0.83), U15 (BA-CA = 0.78, d = 0.89), and U16 (BA-CA, d = 1.01). There was a trivial (U14, r(83) = -0.210; U15, r(88) = 0.060) and low (U16, r(76) = 0.352) correlation between relative age and maturity status.
UNASSIGNED: Substantial maturity selection biases and, to a lesser degree, relative age biases are evident in youth Gaelic football. Critically, these biases are independent constructs. Coaches and policy makers should be educated on the distinct influences of relative age and
maturation, and on strategies to address these biases.
