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

Q

Why is notation used in sport as a performance analysis method?

A

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
Q

Advantages of notation/GPS

A

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
Q

Disadvantages of notation/GPS

A

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
Q

Why is video analysis used in sport?

A
  • 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
Q

advantages of video/computer analysis

A

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
Q

disadvantages of video/computer analysis

A

modern analysis computer programmes can be expensive
specific training is needed to make full use of equipment

31
Q

use of questionnaires

A

provides information from performers on issues and feelings about performance

32
Q

examples of questionnaires

A

SCAT

33
Q

How can the psychological aspect be analysed?

A

Questionnaires
interview
observation

34
Q

Benefits of fitness testing/Why do we fitness test/Advantages

A

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
Q

Limitations of fitness testing/Disadvantages

A

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

Compare to:
Own previous scores
Results of other athletes within group
Normative tables
International or elite athletes

37
Q

Refers to specificity
Select correct/relevant tests

38
Q

Relevancy

A

Refers to specificity
Select correct/relevant tests

Q

Multi Stage Fitness test protocol

A
