Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? The authors identify as open questions the mechanisms by which RAEs magnify and subside, and whether RAEs exist in female and more culturally diverse contexts. → Cobley 2009
Evidence¶
Cobley 2009¶
Cobley, S., Baker, J., Wattie, N., McKenna, J. (2009). Annual Age-Grouping and Athlete Development. Sports Med 39, 235–256. https://doi.org/10.2165/00007256-200939030-00005
q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
The authors' stated research agenda from the review: mechanisms of RAE magnification and subsidence are not yet understood, and RAE existence in "female and more culturally diverse contexts" requires confirmation. This is an author interpretation, not a tested result.
"Researchers need to understand the mechanisms by which RAEs magnify and subside, as well as confirm whether RAEs exist in female and more culturally diverse contexts."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- RAEs are consistently prevalent across sports but with small effect sizes — related
- RAE effect size increases linearly with relative age differences — related
- Adolescent males at representative level in highly popular sports are most at risk of RAE inequalities — related
- Age category, skill level and sport context moderate RAE magnitude — related
