Abstract
To better understand the potential applications of
Parkour-style training for athlete development, this study
aimed to interrogate expert consensus on the feasibility of
integrating Parkour-style training into team sport practice,
by employing a three-round, online Delphi method.
Strength and conditioning coaches and talent development coaches working in team sport settings were
invited to participate. Twenty-four coaches completed
Round One, 21 completed Round Two and 20 completed
Round Three. In Round One, coaches answered 15 open-
ended questions across four categories: (1) General
Perceptions of Parkour-style training; (2) Potential
Applications of Parkour-style training; (3) Designing and
Implementing Parkour-style training Environments; and
(4), Creating an Inclusive Learning Environment.
Responses from Round One were analysed using
reflexive thematic analysis with deductive and inductive
coding resulting in 78 statements across three dimensions
(Application of Parkour Style Training in Team Sports;
Designing and Implementing Parkour-style training
Environments; Overcoming Potential Barriers when
Integrating Parkour-style training). In Rounds Two and
Three, coaches rated these statements using a four-point
Likert scale and measures of collective agreement or
disagreement were calculated. This study established
consensus around a set of design principles for integrating
Parkour-style training into team sport practice routines.
