Q

Reasons why can’t just rely on eyes for observation?

A

Incomplete observations - obstructions with view
Difficult to remember everything that happens in a match - only remember 30-50%
Storage and retrieval - observations don’t create permanent record to refer back to
Subjective nature of analysis - biased views which may lead to incorrect guidance on how to improve performance, subjectivity in performance heightened situation may lead to wrong decision being made
Emotional nature of competition

25
Why is notation used in sport as a performance analysis method?
monitor performance indicators - technical, physical and tactical used to inform specific strength and conditioning programmes used to formulate changes in tactics, training session length and intensity/team selection or substitutions determine which performers are not putting in required effort and/or detect fatigue in others
26
Advantages of notation/GPS
objective statistics on distance covered, speed runs, rest periods for comparison assessment of physiological demands of the sport levels of players fitness can monitor variations in players physical performance between games and seasons can be used in training sessions to ensure they replicate game intensity monitor training load of the players monitor seasonal variations in players work rate/performance aid team and tactical selections used to set specific goals
27
Disadvantages of notation/GPS
only takes into consideration physical demands and not tactical/technical ability running large distances isn't always good play indicator standard of opposition and playing surfaces will impact distance covered and top speed reached
28
Why is video analysis used in sport?
- provides objective, permanent information that can enhance -performance in the technical and tactical aspects of performance -as it provides reviewable unbiased data to analyse - focus on analysis depends on sporting activity and level of performer with different sporting activities placing a different emphasis on these components
29
advantages of video/computer analysis
permanent record of performance - used to identify and correct technique problems, analyse patterns of play for self and opposition e.g. tactics players use it for self analysis, often a more powerful form of analysis than coach feedback slow motion & freeze frame can provide precise analysis, split screen for comparison to improve recording equipment is becoming cheaper coaches and athletes can see performance, instead of having to interpret numerical data
30
disadvantages of video/computer analysis
modern analysis computer programmes can be expensive specific training is needed to make full use of equipment
31
use of questionnaires
provides information from performers on issues and feelings about performance
32
examples of questionnaires
SCAT
33
How can the psychological aspect be analysed?
Questionnaires interview observation
34
Benefits of fitness testing/Why do we fitness test/Advantages
Highlight strengths and weaknesses to identify areas to improve by comparing results to other athletes or normative data Set goals Monitor progress - initial testing provides baseline to establish training programme and determine progress Motivational tool Talent identification - determine suitable sport
35
Limitations of fitness testing/Disadvantages
Not sport specific Do not replicate competitive conditions Do not replicate movements of activity Tests used may lack validity Many do not use direct measuring therefore inaccurate
36
How can results be used and interpreted?
Compare to: Own previous scores Results of other athletes within group Normative tables International or elite athletes
37
Relevancy
Refers to specificity Select correct/relevant tests
38
Relevancy
Refers to specificity Select correct/relevant tests
39
Validity of results
Results measure what they are supposed to Results relevant to specific sport Protocol must be followed correctly for tests
40
Reliability of results
Ability of a test to produce the same results if repeated Control of variables Protocol correctly followed
41
How do we ensure when testing that results are reliable?
Accurate measurements Accuracy of timing Same equipment used for all Same protocol used for all Same environmental conditions, testers and warm up Correct scheduling of tests
42
How do we ensure when testing that results are reliable?
Accurate measurements Accuracy of timing Same equipment used for all Same protocol used for all Same environmental conditions, testers and warm up Correct scheduling of tests
43
Adherence to protocols
Ensure greater accuracy of test results Accurate comparison to previous results/normative tables Enable performer to set accurate goals
44
Laboratory based testing
Elite athletes at specialist training facilities VO2 max, lactate threshold
45
Laboratory based testing
Elite athletes at specialist training facilities VO2 max, lactate threshold
46
Advantages of laboratory based testing
Highly specialised and specific Single individuals Highly accurate
47
Disadvantages of laboratory based testing
Specialist training to administer Expensive Only test 1 at a time
48
Field based testing
Administered outside sports science laboratory 12 minute Cooper test, MSFT
49
Advantages of field based testing
Accessible Cheap Accommodate group testing
50
Disadvantages of field based testing
Not as accurate as laboratory Dependent on performer’s motivation levels Different tests assess same component making results impossible to compare
51
Multi Stage Fitness test protocol
Run 20m distance as many times as possible Progressive test - harder with each level - bleeps quicker Subject runs for as long as possible before withdrawing when no longer able to keep up with bleep Shuttle achieved determines stamina
52
30m sprint test protocol
Stand behind line marked on ground Sprint as fast as possible Measure time taken = speed
53
VO2 max protocol
Exhaled gas passed through gas analyser Estimates CO2 per minute Computer calculates VO2
54
Lactate Threshold Test
Intensity of exercise athlete can continuously perform at Determines point at which anaerobic exercise is taking place Performer increases intensity of exercise until exhausted Blood samples are taken at each stage Point of OBLA can be related to stage in test
55
OBLA
Onset blood lactate accumulation
56
Maximal tests
Demanding maximal exertion 20m shuttle run
57
Sub-maximal tests
Extrapolations are made to determine level of fitness Chester step test
58
Advantages of maximal tests
Measure all anaerobic components of fitness Motivation = high, more accurate results can be obtained when testing up to max. HR
59
Disadvantages of maximal tests
Increased health risk Requires high degree of motivation
60
Advantages of sub-maximal tests
Fewer health risks Motivation doesn’t have to be as high Sedentary populations
61
Disadvantages of sub-maximal tests
Only predictor of max work rate Only predominately test aerobic components of fitness Less accurate
62
Use of technology before performance
Performance analysis - motion analysis - biomechanics - game analysis software - use of GPS trackers Fitness testing - laboratory and field testing - e.g. heart rate monitors
63
Use of technology during competition
Performance analysis - real time analysis e.g. prozone, use of GPS
64
Use of technology after competition
Recovery methods - e.g. ice baths Use of digital video recording to analyse performance e.g. Dartfish
65
Advantages of using technology for officiating in sport
Helps officials to make the correct decisions e.g. proper grounding of ball for try in rugby Review original decisions and allow them to act accordingly e.g. handball in soccer More objective - visual quantitative data that can’t be disputed
66
Disadvantages of using technology for officiating in sport
Officials will be in spotlight if they make a mistake Expensive - not available at all levels Officials may become over reliant on technology and not trust their own judgement
