Performace Analysis Flashcards
(23 cards)
What’s performance analysis ?
Systematic observations, recordings and evaluation of an athletes performance
Uses quantitative and qualitative data
Aims to improve tactics, technique, physicality and behaviour of performers
What is the coaching process ?
- Observation
- Analyse
- Evaluate (highlight strengths and weaknesses)
- Feedback
- Plan
Then repeat
What do coaches observe ?
- Physical attributes
- Technical efficiency
- Tactical awareness
- Behavioural factors
Outline the aspects of physical analysis:
FOCUS: fitness and conditioning
KEY ASPECTS: speed, CVE, power
Analyse fitness levels in order to make appropriate training programmes for athletes
Outline the aspects of technical analysis:
FOCUS: how the body’s limbs moves to create movement and force
KEY ASPECTS: technique, joint angles, muscle activation
Outline the aspects of behavioural analysis:
FOCUS: mindset and mental responses, how individuals react in certain situations
KEY ASPECTS: confidence, anxiety, stress, aggression
Can be analysed using questionnaires, interviews and behavioural observations
Outline the aspects of tactical analysis:
FOCUS: how the team are at decision making
KEY ASPECTS: tactical patterns, decision making, turnovers, key performance indicators of team and individuals
Outline the aspects of tactical analysis:
FOCUS: how the team are at decision making
KEY ASPECTS: tactical patterns, decision making, turnovers, key performance indicators of team and individuals
How can a coach and performer use physical data ?
- Identify strengths and weaknesses
Set specific goals - Monitor progress in training or recover
- help coach make tactical informed decisions
- aid talent identification
What are some physical techniques for physical analysis ?
- Fitness testing (field or lab)
- Detailed physiological testing (VO2max, blood lactate analysis)
- Health tests (spirometer, ECG)
- GPS tracking systems
What are some evaluation points for physical analysis/ testing within sport ?
It’s only one aspect of performance. Someone who is powerful may not have technical, tactical, psychological ability needed
Field tests can be unreliable/tester error is common and therefore a lack of reliability and validity in testing
Lab testing is expensive and requires specialised analysts to carry out protocol
What are the two methods of analysing and refining performance ?
Technical and tactical analysis which is broken down into two types of analysis:
- Notational analysis
- Biomechanical analysis
What’s notational analysis ?
Where you analyse individual or team performance based on number of different performance indicators
E.g time in possession, number of shots
What’s biomechanical analysis
Where you analyse the performance of a skill
Kinetic analysis: study force production
Kinematic analysis: study the motion of the body during a movement
What are the ads of video analysis?
Provides accurate feedback as enables detailed breakdown of technique and tactics
It allows for tracking of performance over time monitoring progress or not and helps identify strengths and weaknesses
Can detect poor technique or overuse patterns that may lead to injury
What are the disads of video analysis ?
High quality cameras and equipment are expensive and requires expert technician to run them
Reviewing footage is time consuming
Athletes may become to reliant on video analysis instead of own intrinsic feedback
Poor positioning of camera angle may miss key moments of skill
What’re the Ads and disads of hand notation ( notational analysis) ?
ADS:
- Requires simple equipment
- it’s cheap
- can be very accurate
DISADS:
- very time consuming processing data
What are the ads and disads of computerised notation ?
ADS:
- data output is immediate
- integration with graphics system make ouout clearer
DISADS:
- can be difficult and time consuming to enter the data
- software and hardware could have problems
Outline hand notation vs computer nation:
Process is same: method of objectifying observation
Use diff technologies: pen and paper vs computer
Examples of notational and biomechanical software:
Prozone (notational)
Catapult (notational)
Quintin (biomechanical)
Why is performance analysis important in the media ?
Enchances viewers understanding
Engages and educates fans
Creates informed debate
Improves fan experience
Boosts digital engagement
How does P.A benefit athletes ?
- Improved technical and tactical knowledge
- improves confidence
- improves physical fitness
How does P.A benefit coaches ?
- assists in understanding an athletes strengths and weaknesses
- help develop specific training programme for athletes
- enhances own development and coaching practice
- helps make informed decisions abt team selection
