... It has allowed for players and teams to be analysed in more context reflective way when looking at shooting performance. ARF has attempted to integrate xG into the sport, with the xG model re-named as an "expected score" (xScore), as there is more than one way to score in the sport (goals and behinds) [8, 9,10,11]. Sport specific variables that can be explored include whether a player kicked with their dominant foot, how much pressure is being applied to the kicker and what phase of play they took the shot. ...

... Performance analysis can play a critical role in supporting the decision-making of coaches at the elite level in many invasion sports (Wright et al., 2013). In Australian football (AF), coaches rely partly on insights provided by performance analysts to support in-match decisions which lead to changes in the way the team performs, through either personnel, game-style, or team structure changes (Aarons et al., 2023). In time-constrained environments, such as during matches, coaches and analysts may benefit from access to quick, objective analyses of match data to support their decision-making. ...

... Physical preparation guidelines are widely researched in men's cricket (32), including physical profiling for individual player roles, such as bowlers and batters (8). The same is not evident for women's cricket because current research supporting physical preparation for female cricket players focuses on female players as a group (18) or explores the profiles of elite pace bowlers (11,12,26). Letter et al. (11) found that faster female pace bowlers possess superior physical characteristics, such as maximal upper-body muscle strength, compared with slower pace bowlers. ...

... 5 Nevertheless, in recent years, the number of publications on tactical performance in women's football has increased. [7][8][9][10] Due to all these factors, women's football has always tried to reproduce the success models (technical, tactical, conditional, sociological, and psychological) proposed for men's football in what could be called a ''unisex'' performance perspective. 4 This perspective, from our point of view, is erroneous due to the differences between elite women's and men's football concerning collective [11][12][13][14][15] and individual 16 technical2tactical aspects. ...

... Despite many studies investigating T-C and P-C profiles in laboratory settings (Dorel et al., 2005;Kordi et al., 2019;McCartney et al., 1983;Rudsits et al., 2018;Wackwitz et al., 2020;Yeo et al., 2015), few have attempted to evaluate field-based approaches to determine T-C and P-C profiles (i.e., on the track) (Bertucci et al., 2007;Dunst et al., 2022;Dwyer et al., 2022;Gardner et al., 2007). Gardner et al. (2007) reported that there were no significant differences in the T-C and P-C profile mechanical variables derived from a laboratory-and field-based protocol in elite cyclists. ...

... This data was collected via notational analysis from broadcast vision. Inter-and intra-rater reliability of the collected data has been reported previously (Bruce et al., 2022), with strong correlations (r > .80) identified for the frequency of game events (i.e., inter-rater reliability) and repeat analysis (i.e., intra-rater reliability). ...

... Objective assessment of athletic performance is conducted by means of tracking kinematic, temporal, and dynamic parameters of movement (Yeo & Park, 2020). The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to sports motion data has been shown to be beneficial in the realm of performance assessment and analysis (Dwyer, Kempe, & Knobbe, 2022). The use of AI techniques in sports motion analysis refers to the recognition and classification of patterns and skills (Bonidia et al., 2018). ...

... However, it is important to note that the previous study [13] monitored four trial matches and 13 in-season matches across multiple months, whereas we specifically monitored 2 trial matches and the first 2 in-season matches for each team across an acute 6-week period. Indeed, relative HSR distance [14] has been shown to increase during middle (matches 9-16) and late (matches [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] phases of the in-season compared to the early in-season phase (matches 1-8) in professional, male rugby league players. Consequently, the inclusion of matches beyond the early in-season phase in the previous study [13] may have augmented the in-season HSR demands relative to trial matches. ...

... To date, research into women's soccer has largely focused on the physical (Vescovi et al., 2021) and physiological demands of the game (Datson et al., 2014;Martínez-Lagunas et al., 2014). Current literature has also emphasised the importance of understanding technical and tactical characteristics of the game (de Jong et al., 2020;de Jong et al., 2023). When compared to elite men's soccer, elite women's soccer appears to adopt a more attacking style of play, possession is lost more frequently, and passes are performed with less accuracy (Bradley et al., 2014;Garnica-Caparrós & Memmert, 2021). ...

... To date, only one study has reported the physical capacities of female cricketers [8]. This investigation, while providing valuable insights into the physical capacities of female cricketers, was delimited to elite, professional seam bowlers. ...
