DATA COLLECTION & ACTIVITY ANALYSIS Week 2
What you need to know… Why collect data and analyse activity Different methods of data collection Types of data collected: skill frequency, movement patters, heart rate, W:R ratios, intensity How each method is used to analyse activity
Data Collection To collect a range of data about the fitness or physiological requirements of an activity or sport that can be analysed to determine strategies for enhancing physical performance
Why Collect Data & Analyse Activity? 1. To identify the fitness components of the sport 2. To identify the contribution of each energy system in the sport 3. To identify the muscles and muscle groups used in the sport to be able to enhance performance
Which Data? Four areas Physical Which energy systems are involved? Which fitness components are required? Which major muscle groups are used? Mental Technical Tactical
Methods of Data Collection Observation Useful on game day Particularly useful for identifying errors, recognising patterns of play, making connections between actions and results Observation and statistical data collection Concrete evidence Usually combined with observation Videotaping combined with observation and statistical data collection Usually insufficient time during a game to look at video After used post-game to slow down and replay
Types of Data Collected Skill frequency Work-rest ratios Intensity charts Combined intensity and work-rest ratio Movement patterns Heart rate
Skill Frequency Data collected can be: Type of skill Frequency of skill Effectiveness of skill Muscle groups used
Skill Frequency Analysis Very useful to identify under which circumstances and how often skills are used Muscle groups used When combined with D & I fitness components and energy systems Knowledge of results Information about outcome of performance (eg: in/out)
Work-Rest Ratios Compares amount of time ‘working’ to the amount of time ‘resting’ What is ‘work’, ‘rest’? Very useful in team sports and for particular positions Vital for considering Contribution of the three energy systems Intensity of effort Method of training to be chosen Type of recovery to be chosen
Intensity Charts Breaking down movements (work) into intensities are recording High Sprints, side step, shuffle, change of direction, jump Medium Running (jog sprint) Low Jogging
Combining Work-Rest Ratio & Intensity When considering W-R it is vital to look at intensity Work: what intensity? How long? Longest work? Shortest work? Rest: what %? Longest rest? Shortest rest?
Combining Work-Rest Ratio & Intensity Analysis Predominant energy systems Energy system interplay Helps to plan training specificity
Movement Patterns Reveal typical locomotor activities completed during a game or performance Analysis Muscle groups used When combined with D & I Determine fitness components Determine energy systems Work-rest ratios Skill frequency Help to develop specific training programs
Heart Rate Provide information on Intensity Training zone How will athlete is coping with workload How close athlete is to maximum effort Heart rate zones Anaerobic zone >85% max HR Aerobic zone 70-85% max HR Recovery zone <70% max HR
Heart Rate Analysis Primarily intensity When combined with D of work and rest can help determine Fitness components Energy systems
Activity Analysis Once the data has been gathered analysis can begin Analysis involves skills such as Identifying patterns in data Recognising relationships and connections between pieces of information Explaining Classifying Concluding
Games Analysis Analysis of a team game to reveal the fitness components, energy systems, muscle groups and skills used so that the performance may be improved
