In-game monitoring of adolescent handball players: a preliminary examination of associations between external load parameters and objective and subjective fatigue markers.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Advances in local positioning systems (LPS) have enabled detailed monitoring of external load in handball. However, the relationship between external load and internal fatigue under real match conditions remains insufficiently understood, particularly in adolescent players. This study examined associations between external load parameters and both objective and subjective fatigue markers during an official match and evaluated agreement between players 'ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) and coaches' ratings of observed exertion (ROE). Methods: Highly trained adolescent male handball players ( Results: Subjective fatigue measures changed markedly across the match. RPE increased (T Conclusion: Subjective fatigue measures, particularly RPE, were more sensitive than objective neuromuscular testing for detecting match-related fatigue in adolescent handball players. Coaches' ratings aligned increasingly with players' perceptions, highlighting the practical value of subjective monitoring for in-game load management.
