Module Aims

  1. To develop the students' knowledge of performance analysis as a tool within the coaching process.

  2. To develop an understanding of measurement issues and information processing aspects of performance analysis

  3. To develop the students’ practical skills so that they can design, test and utilise a computerised notation system, and use emergent data to report on team and individual player performance.

Content Summary

Module content will address the fundamentals of performance analysis and include;

1.Performance indicators in performance analysis.

2.Subjective and objective analysis of sport performance data. 3.Purposes and applications of performance analysis in sport.

3.Developing a computerised performance analysis system.

4.Measurement issues in performance analysis and reliability evaluation. 5.Research issues in performance analysis.

6.The use of feedback in sport, and the use of data to create evidence informed performance presentations.
