movement analysis - lesson 3

Question 1

what are the two movement analysis methods?

Answer 1

1) quantitative analysis

2) qualitative analysis

Question 2

what is quantitative analysis?

Answer 2

• use of numbers
• body skin folds, blood lactate levels, angle + speed of release, instantaneous velocity, acceleration rate
• achieved using objective measurements

Question 3

what is qualitative analysis?

Answer 3

• refers to the description of movement without using numbers
• must use a systemic approach
• Knudsen Morrison model
• subjective (opinion based)

Question 4

what are the 5 steps of the Knudsen Morrison model?

Answer 4

1) preparation
2) observation phase
3) evaluation phase
4) intervention
5) re-evaluation

Question 5

what is the 1st phase of the Knudsen Morrison model?

Answer 5

preparation phase
= coach concerned with the process of developing a prerequisite knowledge base about a particular skill
- coach must know the points of technique required to produce skill correctly
- checklist made outlining key points of technique prior to analysis

Question 6

what is the 2nd phase of the Knudsen Morrison model?

Answer 6

observation phase
= involves systematic gathering of info about the performance or movement
- the coach must decide the best way to observe + gather info

Question 7

what is the 3rd phase of the Knudsen Morrison model?

Answer 7

evaluation phase
= coach must identify the strengths + weaknesses of the performer, identify methods that can be used to improve performance
- coach uses a checklist
- identifies strengths + weaknesses
- coach prioritizes potential interventions

Question 8

what is the 4th phase of the Knudsen Morrison model?

Answer 8

intervention phase
= involves providing feedback + corrections 
- performer to improve performance 
- coach explains weaknesses 
- gives correction strategies

Question 9

what is the 5th phase of the Knudsen Morrison model?

Answer 9

re-evaluation
= coach observes the performer implement the changes made in a similar context to the initial observation
- did they change?
