Abstract
Accelerometry is a recent method used to quantify workload in team sports. A rapidly increasing number of studies supports the practical implementation of accelerometry monitoring to regulate and optimize training schemes. Therefore, the purposes of this study were: (1) to reflect the current state of knowledge about accelerometry as a method of workload monitoring in invasion team sports according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, and (2) to conclude recommendations for application and scientific investigations. The Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus databases were searched for relevant published studies according to the following keywords: "accelerometry" or "accelerometer" or "microtechnology" or "inertial devices", and "load" or "workload", and "sport". Of the 1383 studies initially identified, 118 were selected for a full review. The main results indicate that the most frequent findings were (i) devices' body location: scapulae; (b) devices brand: Catapult Sports; (iii) variables: PlayerLoadTM and its variations; (iv) sports: rugby, Australian football, soccer and basketball; (v) sex: male; (vi) competition level: professional and elite; and (vii) context: separate training or competition. A great number of variables and devices from various companies make the comparability between findings difficult; unification is required. Although the most common location is at scapulae because of its optimal signal reception for time-motion analysis, new methods for multi-location skills and locomotion assessment without losing tracking accuracy should be developed.

Time-Motion Analysis by Playing Positions of Male Handball Players during the European Championship 2020.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the time motion characteristics of elite male handball players during the last European Championship 2020 and found that players with higher running pace in defense were Left Backs (105.95 ± 25.20) and the Center Backs in defense (95.76 ± 48.90).

The impact of 120 minutes of match-play on recovery and subsequent match performance:

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of extra-time (ET) on subsequent 90 min match performance and recovery has not been investigated, but four professional soccer players played in three competitive matches in a 7-day period: matches one (MD1 and three (MD3) lasted 90 min and match 2 (MD2) lasted 120 min (i.e., included ET).

Statistical Methods For Assessing Measurement Error (Reliability) in Variables Relevant to Sports Medicine

TL;DR: It is recommended that sports clinicians and researchers should cite and interpret a number of statistical methods for assessing reliability and encourage the inclusion of the LOA method, especially the exploration of heteroscedasticity that is inherent in this analysis.
