Module Aims

1.To further develop the student's knowledge and understanding of the issues related to sports analysis, the requirements of coaches, players, and other related professionals within sport at academy and senior levels.

2.To measure performance in an objective and analytical manner whilst utilising scientific methods of analysis from research.

3.To experience the analysis process within an applied environment and understand how to present information/data to a coach/player.

Content Summary

The module will focus on the tactical analysis and evaluation of sport whilst considering the impact of situational variables on performance. The analysis of performance will be gathered from an applied environment and analysed in the Performance Analysis suite. The module will also enable students to use innovative feedback techniques to inform the coaching process. Students will use a variety of software packages and hardware to gather data in order to analyse performance, looking for strengths and areas for development.
