Abstract

Abstract. The aim of this study is to analyze sprint demands, the ability to repeat sprints and the possible differences between theplaying periods of rugby-7 players, considering their playing position. A total of 21 players (age 21.2 ± 2.4) grouped by specificpositions (forwards: n = 9; 166.3 ± 12.6 cm; 65.4 ± 7.2 kg; and backs :n = 12; 163.4 ± 9.8cm; 61.7 ± 4.1 kg) were monitored in officialcompetition tournaments, using a global positioning system (GPS). To determine a sprint, an individual threshold of 61% of themaximum speed of each player was considered. The results show that, when analyzing the group of players (p <.05), there are significantdifferences in the maximum speed (27.0 ± 2.10 vs 24.7 ± 1.65), in maximum speed in competition (25.9 ± 2.34 vs 21.9 ± 2.59), thresholdof sprint (16.4 ± 1.29 vs 15.0 ± 1.0), sprint number (6.83 ± 1.88 vs 4.54 ± 1.44), distance traveled to sprint (166.0 ± 15.64 vs 135 ±13.94), and repeated sprint (1.82 ± .76 vs. 1.11 ± .31). Significant differences were found between both periods of play (p <.05),observing a considerable decrease of the maximum speed in competition, the number of sprints, distance traveled to sprints, and repeatedsprints during the second half. The use of relative thresholds increases the number of sprints. The differences in playing positions canhelp us to better understand the demands of competition and optimize training planning.
