### Category and Positional Differences for High Intensity Accelerations and Decelerations  
Table 3 shows group and positional comparisons for high-intensity accelerations (\(>\)3 m\(\cdot\)s\({}^{2}\)) and decelerations (\(<\)\(\sim\)3 m\(\cdot\)s\({}^{2}\)). At the group level, seniors outperformed U-17 in accelerations (\(p<0.001\); d = 1.70) and decelerations (\(p<0.001\); d = 1.92), and also U-20 (acc: \(p<0.001\); d = 2.10; dec: \(p<0.001\); d = 0.99). No differences were found between U-20 and U-17 (Figure 2). By position, seniors showed higher accelerations than U-17 in CB (\(p<0.001\); d = 1.54), FB (\(p<0.001\); d = 2.13), CM (\(p=0.010\); d = 1.42), and ST (\(p<0.001\); d = 1.87), with no difference in WG. For decelerations, differences were found in CB (\(p=0.010\); d = 1.13), FB (\(p<0.001\); d = 2.43), CM (\(p=0.010\); d = 1.35), and ST (\(p=0.008\); d = 1.43). Compared to U-20, seniors had higher accelerations in CB (\(p=0.011\); d = 2.04), FB (\(p<0.001\); d = 1.31), CM (\(p=0.033\); d = 1.41), and ST (\(p<0.001\); d = 1.07); and more decelerations in FB (\(p=0.008\); d = 0.77) and CM (\(p<0.001\); d = 1.57). Although not all differences were significant across every position and variable, the overall pattern remained consistent across most metrics: Senior \(>\) U-20 \(>\) U-17. \begin{table}
