This study examined the effect of approach momentum on horizontal deceleration (DEC) performance. Eighty team sports athletes performed three maximal horizontal DEC trials from a 15 m approach. Sprint performance was recorded using timing gates and instantaneous velocity was collected using a radar device. . We concluded that practitioners should be aware that approach momentum (body mass and approach velocity) is a factor influencing DEC performance, and an inverse relationship exists. Thus, to evaluate maximal DEC ability, approach velocity and body mass must be considered.
