Qualitative movement analysis - Unit 3 AOS 1 Terms

Question 1

What does qualitative movement analysis do?

Answer 1

analyse movement patterns in a range of physical activities and sports

correcting errors and improving performance

Question 2

What are the 4 main principles of qualitative analysis?

Answer 2

1. Preparation (biomechanics)
2. Observation (biomechanics)
3. Evaluation (biomechanics)

4.Error correction (skill acquisition)

Question 3

What is the purpose of the qualitative movement analysis?

Answer 3

To improve human movement

Question 4

Who can undertake a qualitative movement analysis?

Answer 4

Coaches, teachers etc

Question 5

Preparation - qualitative movement

Answer 5

Coaches must first determine the specific purpose of the analysis

Gather relevant knowledge about:

1. Critical features of the skill
   - Key skills involved
2. Information about performance
   - Understand psychological and physiological influences on movement e.g gender, age
3. Details about the observation stage
   - Recorded/measured
4. What constitutes effective instruction
   - Determine best way to communicate feedback

Question 6

Observation - qualitative movement

Answer 6

Observations can be performed live and/or recorded digitally.

A range of variables can be observed before and during the game:
- Global dynamics of the game
- Whether the team is completing set plays according to the plan
- Opponents patterns of play
- Behaviour of the opposing coach
- Situational variables

Question 7

Evaluation (dagnosis) - qualitative movement

Answer 7

Refers to the judgement of quality of the performance. - identily mistakes

Performance can be assessed objectively (eg- score and time)
or subjectively (qualitative analysis, interpretation of observation).

Criteria or rubrics may be used to make judging and scoring of sports more objective.

Question 8

validity and reliablility

Evaluation (dagnosis) - qualitative movement

???????? is val and rel a part of

Answer 8

tests need to be valid and reliable

Validity:
- test’s capacity to measure what it intends to.
- does the test measure what it is suppose to
eg: VO2 max test measures VO2 max

Reliability:
test’s ability to produce similar results if the test was repeated.

To ensure the test is reliable you must take into account:
- Procedures
- Conditions
- Equipment
- Environment
- Tester

Question 9

Error correction - qualitative analysis

Answer 9

• based on teacher or coach observation

Weaknesses are identified

strategies to address these are developed using either direct or constraints based coaching

or instructional approaches.

Question 10

Intervention ????

Error correction - qualitative analysis

Answer 10

Intervention is then undertaken by one or both of the following: (what is this)

1. Intervention during a microcycle of training
2. Intervention during the game

correction:
- feedback
- Modify practice
- Exaggeration
- Visual model
- Manual guidance
- Mechanical guidance
