This commentary proposes a reframing of the interpretation of acceleration data and their use for athlete monitoring and exercise prescription. Although this applies to multiple sports, we will focus on the example of team sports in which these metrics are commonly used.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>\n                      :\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    Despite the recognized benefits of acceleration monitoring, 2 major limitations are evident. First, the common practice of classifying continuous acceleration data into discrete categories leads to a loss of relevant information, thus reducing the validity, reliability, and statistical power of analyses. Second, the use of arbitrary thresholds fails to account for individualized profiles, which are essential for monitoring. The limitations of these approaches are exacerbated by the lack of any objective justification for the thresholds used. We propose that acceleration be analyzed continuously, and, therefore, interpretation of data should be individualized. Accelerations should be analyzed as continuous variables rather than categorized into arbitrary thresholds. Individualized monitoring using players\u2019 maximum acceleration as a reference can provide a more accurate representation of players\u2019 physical demands.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2024-0521","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,13]],"date-time":"2025-05-13T14:46:38Z","timestamp":1747147598000},"page":"330-333","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Mixing the Sheep and the Goats: Reframing the Interpretation of Acceleration Data in Sport"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-3766-0800","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Pedro","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research, Education, Innovation, and Intervention in Sport (CIFI2D), Faculty of Sport, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0330-7636","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ivan","family":"Baptista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research, Education, Innovation, and Intervention in Sport (CIFI2D), Faculty of Sport, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science and Technology, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Troms\u00f8, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0108-7246","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Felipe A.","family":"Moura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Applied Biomechanics, State University of Londrina, Londrina, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8477-127X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Daniel","family":"Boullosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, Universidad de Le\u00f3n, Le\u00f3n, Spain"},{"name":"Integrated Institute of Health, Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande, Brazil"},{"name":"College of Healthcare Sciences, James Cook University, Townsville, QLD, Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5336-3652","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"F\u00e1bio Y.","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development (CIDESD), University of Maia, Maia, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2038-393X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Afonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research, Education, Innovation, and Intervention in Sport (CIFI2D), Faculty of Sport, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"r1","series-title":"Sports Med","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2321","DOI":"10.1007\/s40279-022-01693-0","article-title":"Biomechanical and neuromuscular performance requirements of horizontal deceleration: a review with implications for random intermittent multi-directional sports","volume":"52","author":"Harper DJ","year":"2022","unstructured":"Harper DJ, McBurnie AJ, Dos\u2019Santos T, et\u00a0al.
