dc.description.abstractAthletic movement competency (AMC) is defined as the ability to competently perform the basic movement patterns which underpin advanced resistance training techniques. The development of AMC is a common recommendation of various long-term athlete development models and position stands and should occur prior to entering elite senior competition. Little research exists into AMC in adolescent Australian rules football (ARF) players, limiting the understanding of its developmental pattern in this population. Additionally, only one study has explored the association between AMC and physical performance in youth ARF. Should such a link exist, it would suggest a broader application for AMC assessment beyond simply indicating preparedness to perform resistance training. Research in this area is hindered, however, by findings which suggest that many pre-existing movement assessment protocols lack a scoring method with the sensitivity to detect small within- and between-subject differences in AMC. Accordingly, the aim of this thesis was to adapt the scoring method of a movement assessment protocol entitled the Athletic Ability Assessment (AAA) in order to optimise its sensitivity and address the stated gaps in research on AMC in adolescent ARF players.
