Quantifying neuromuscular performance of elite rugby union players: Measurement characteristics and moderating factors
This thesis investigates the neuromuscular status of elite rugby union players through longitudinal countermovement jump (CMJ) monitoring. A systematic and agnostic framework for selecting CMJ metrics is proposed, integrating reliability, sensitivity, and covariance considerations. Over four …

Monitoring wellness, training load and neuromuscular performance: Implications for assessing athlete training status
Background: Athletes training for peak performance have periods of systematic overload followed by recovery. The balance between overload and recovery is important to avoid unexpected fatigue or underperformance. The relationship between overload and recovery is unique for each athlete. Thus, …
