Disentangling gender and relative age effects in women`s and girls` rugby union
Kelly, A., Coutinho, D., Radnor, J., Burke, K., Barrell, D., Jackson, D., Brustio, P.Published in BASES Conference 2024 (2024)“…Relative age effects (RAEs) within sports refer to the over representation of athletes born earlier in the selection year and the underrepresentation of those born later in the selection year. Research examining RAEs in women`s and girls` rugby union remains limited in comparison to the male literature, whilst the impacts of RAEs on the youth-to senior transition are yet to be explored in a female sport context. …”

The interaction of relative age with maturation and body size in female handball talent selection
Tróznai, Z., Utczás, K., Pápai, J., Pálinkás, G., Szabó, T., Petridis, L.Published in PLOS ONE (2024)“…The relative age effects (RAEs) and biological maturation are two distinct factors that have been identified to affect talent identification and selection. Previous research has suggested that talent selection should include sport-specific technical tasks instead of body size and/or physical test measurements, assuming that the technical tasks are less influenced by variations in maturation. …”
