Abstract
This study examined the relationship between an opponent’s NCAA ranking and in-game dynamics of division-1 Women’s Basketball. Analysis showed that when playing lower-ranked opponents, athletes covered higher distances, reached higher speeds, and had higher heart rates. This allows coaches to consider additional exertion that may occur from playing opponents of different rankings.
