LEC8: Performance Modelling Flashcards
What is performance modelling?
A concept the promotes the design of training programs which use a clear system of analysis, testing, and exercise selection
Performance Modelling: systems-based approach
“Consciously organized” series of processes, arranged to accomplish a predetermined goal
Greater organization = greater transfer of training
Greater organization = ?
Greater transfer of training
What are the steps in performance modelling?
Step 1: Goal Setting
Step 2: Needs Analysis
Step 3: Design a Test Battery
Step 4: Selection of Exercises
Step 1: Goal Setting
Contextually relevant and realistic
- Current level of individual
Comparable team standards and literature
Objective and quantifiable
- ‘Actionable’ measures
- Ongoing evaluation
Include the athlete and the coach
- Interdisciplinary approach
Identify a main progressive goal
- can be influenced by initial and going testing/monitoring
Sub-Goals of short and medium length can support achieving the primary goal
Sub-goals will influence the testing battery (and by association exercise selection)
Step 2: Needs Analysis
“Preliminary assessment of the specific demands of and unique characteristics of the sport being prepared for”
Performance Correlates
- Biomechanical demands
- Physiological Demands
- Normative Data
- Injury Epidemiology
Step 3: Design a Test Battery
- Normative Data vs. Peer Data
- Valid and Reliable methods
- Testing vs Monitoring
Step 4: Exercise Selection
- Link to needs analysis (performance correlates) and performance assessments
- Timing of the program
“Designing a program to target improvement in the identified qualities for elite performance (Step 2 and 3) will aid in the progression of the athlete toward their specified performance goal (Step 1)
