1. Analysis of Sports Performance
Performance Profile

2. Learning Outcomes
Be able to describe the performance profile of a selected sporting activity (pass)
Be able to explain the performance profile of a selected sporting activity (merit)
Be able to analyse the performance profile of a selected sporting activity (distinction)

3. Sporting activity Different sports have different requirements
Athlete and the coach should both be aware of the specific physical and psychological demands needed in order to achieve success
Can you think of an example?
A striker will need different physical and mental skills from a goalkeeper

4. Compare and contrast them both..
Striker
Goalkeeper

5. Specific Position
Different sports and different positions make different demands on athletes
Go back to the goalkeeper example, they need to concentrate for long periods without being directly or physically involved in action
What about your sport/position?
Compare with a partner

6. Performance profiling (PP)
Should take into account the individual and specific demands of both the sport, and the position within that sport
PP and analysis can be used to document, assess and predict the ability of a goalkeeper to meet the demands of performance, covering various aspects of physical capacity, psychological factors, technical skill and tactical awareness

7. Continued.. What do you think these may include?
Physical tests of speed, strength, power and flexibility, core stability and endurance
Psychological assessment of personality, anxiety and confidence
Biomechanical analysis of movement technique
Notational analysis of performance

8. Research shows..
A goalkeeper spends 86% of a match walking or standing still
14% performing high intensity activities
Equates to approximately 12 minutes pressure on the goalkeeper during a 90 minute match

9. Task

10. Specific Action Many sports require the analysis of a specific action
Complex actions – such as what?
Tennis serve
Broken down into smaller stages
Clear analysis can then be made

12. Method Whole-part-whole method of analysis
Possible to investigate certain key parts of the technique
Whole skill can be analysed and practised
More complex elements are learned and practised specifically and separately in order to make up the whole skill
How would you break down the tennis serve?
