      Recovery, and the Time-Course of such Responses following Academy Rugby League 
      Match-Play.

AB  - In professional academy rugby league (RL) players, this two-part study examined; 
      A) the within- and between-day reliability of isometric mid-thigh pulls (IMTP), 
      countermovement jumps (CMJ), and a wellness questionnaire (n = 11), and B) 
      profiled the responses with acceptable reliability (no between-trial differences 
      and between-day coefficient of variation (CV) </=10% and intraclass correlation 
      coefficient (ICC) >/=0.8) for 120 h (baseline: -3, +24, +48, +72, +96, +120 h) 
      following RL match-play (n = 10). In part A, force at 200, and 250 ms, and peak 
      force (PF) demonstrated acceptable within- (CV%: 3.67-8.41%, ICC: 0.89-0.93) and 
      between-day (CV%: 4.34-8.62%, ICC: 0.87-0.92) reliability for IMTP. Most CMJ 
      variables demonstrated acceptable within-day reliability (CV%: 3.03-7.34%, ICC: 
      0.82-0.98), but only six (i.e., flight-time, PF, peak power (PP), relative PP, 
      velocity at take-off (VTO), jump-height (JH)) showed acceptable between-day 
      reliability (CV%: 2.56-6.79%, ICC: 0.83-0.91). Only total wellness demonstrated 
      acceptable between-day reliability (CV%: 7.05%, ICC: 0.90) from the 
      questionnaire. In part B, reductions of 4.75% and 9.23% (vs. baseline; 2.54 
      m∙s(-1); 0.33 m) occurred at +24 h for CMJ VTO, and JH, respectively. Acceptable 
      reliability was observed in some, but not all, variables and the magnitude and 
      time-course of post-match responses were test and variable specific. 
      Practitioners should therefore be mindful of the influence that the choice of 
      recovery monitoring tool may have upon the practical interpretation of the data.
