Although task requirements of these linear assessments are generally consistent, current research employs low sampling technology, which limits the ability to define the deceleration start point and subsequently the reliability. Therefore, this study compared the intra\u2010 and inter\u2010day reliability of three deceleration assessment analysis methods: set distance, peak velocity, and the novel deceleration threshold, using a motorized linear encoder device. Ten female and 10 male subjects performed three maximal effort 30\u00a0m sprint deceleration trials over two testing days. Each trial was filtered and analyzed using a customized code to calculate key deceleration metrics: distance\u2010to\u2010stop (DTS), time\u2010to\u2010stop (TTS), and average deceleration (DEC<jats:sub>ave<\/jats:sub>) for each analysis method. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) using two\u2010way fixed effect models, coefficients of variation (CV%), and standard errors of measurement (SEM) were calculated to determine the intra\u2010day reliability across all three trials of the first testing day, and inter\u2010day reliability using the: best, average of best two, and average of all trials. The deceleration threshold method using the average of the best two trials from each testing day, exhibited excellent inter\u2010day reliability for the key metrics (TTS: ICC\u00a0=\u00a00.93, CV%\u00a0=\u00a06.4; DTS: ICC\u00a0=\u00a00.97, CV%\u00a0=\u00a05.3; DEC<jats:sub>ave<\/jats:sub>: ICC\u00a0=\u00a00.92, CV%\u00a0=\u00a07.1). To optimize reliability and sensitivity of detecting a meaningful change in sprint deceleration performance practitioners should consider using the average of two best trials analyzed with the deceleration threshold.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejsc.12278","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,11]],"date-time":"2025-03-11T20:05:44Z","timestamp":1741723544000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Introducing the Novel Deceleration Threshold Method: Comparative Reliability to Previous Sprint Deceleration Analysis Methods in Team\u2010Sport Athletes"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7688-6165","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Millicent A.","family":"West","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Sport Science and Exercise Testing Lab School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy University of Newcastle  Ourimbah Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heidi R.","family":"Compton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Sport Science and Exercise Testing Lab School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy University of Newcastle  Ourimbah Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ben J.","family":"Dascombe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences Western Sydney University  Campbelltown Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8705-5802","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Josh L.","family":"Secomb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Sport Science and Exercise Testing Lab School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy University of Newcastle  Ourimbah Australia"},{"name":"Active Living and Learning Research Program Hunter Medical Research Institute  Callaghan Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/sports7080191"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/24748668.2017.1348060"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","first-page":"259","article-title":"The Reliability of Video Based Time Motion Analysis","volume":"44","author":"Duthie G.","year":"2003","journal-title":"Journal of Human Movement Studies"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.47206\/ijsc.v4i1.351"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1519\/jsc.0000000000002739"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjsem\u20102018\u2010000379"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14763141.2020.1792968"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcm.2016.02.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/24733938.2022.2030064"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40279\u2010021\u201001583\u2010x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fphys.2018.00228"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1519\/jsc.0000000000003830"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","unstructured":"R\u00f8kke O.2018. \u201cValidation of Force\u2010 Velocity\u2010 and Acceleration\u2010Time Curves and Temporal Characteristics as Output Data From the 1080 Sprint.\u201d"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1519\/jsc.0000000000001245"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/78.11.1186"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/sms.14597"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1519\/00124278\u2010200502000\u201000038"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.47206\/ijsc.v2i1.126"}],"container-title":["European Journal of Sport Science"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ejsc.12278","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,15]],"date-time":"2025-08-15T16:59:32Z","timestamp":1755277172000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ejsc.12278"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,5]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ejsc.12278"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ejsc.12278","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1746-1391","1536-7290"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1746-1391","type":"print"},{"value":"1536-7290","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,5]]},"article-number":"e12278"}}
