| Résumé : | Ultimate Frisbee (UF) is a non-contact team sport where the main team objective is to score goals by catching a plastic disc in the attacking end-zone [1]. Matches can be time-bound (2×30-min halves) or score-bound (first team to score 15 points is declared the winner) [2]. It has been shown that UF players cover a total distance of 4700±470m, with 3490±350m covered performing low-intensity running (0–13.9km·h−1), 630±140m performing high-intensity running (14–22km·h−1), and 210±110m sprinting (>22km·h−1) during matches [3]. Players are divided into different playing positions (i.e., cutters and handlers) due to their role during the match. In this sense, while cutters mainly conquer the end zone of the opposing team, handlers facilitate movement of the disc across the pitch, potentially creating pronounced differences in the movements and subsequent physical demands encountered according to position. However, no previous research has quantified the external loads (e.g., distance covered at different absolute speed ranges or short-term, high-intensity actions such as accelerations and decelerations) completed by players during UF matches relative to playing position. Consequently, this team-based case study aimed to quantify and compare the external loads experienced by cutters and handlers during UF matches. |
