Description

This unit focuses on performance analysis and player monitoring in sport. Methods of notational analysis will be covered and students will gain knowledge in how to develop a system for different sports. Motion analysis during training and competition will be addressed and students will undertake practical sessions in the use of video and electronic tracking of players. The unit also explores monitoring of players using psychobiological and various methods of heart rate analysis.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must pass 2 units from EBH1101, EBH1102

Equivalent Rule

Unit was previously coded SPS1209

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Describe the need for, and nature of, feedback as an important form of communication in the sporting environment.
  2. Describe the rationale for employing psychobiological monitoring in selected sports and work in teams to employ a range of these tools in practical coaching sessions and games.
  3. Evaluate notational and motion analysis data and work in teams to generate reports for coaching and fitness staff.
  4. Practically apply various methods of analysing heart rate of players during rest, exercise and recovery.
  5. Use appraisal skills and transfer notational and motion analysis data into the coaching and training environment.
  6. Use of a variety of notational and motion analysis systems employed in the sporting environment.

Unit Content

  1. Hand based match analysis systems.
  2. How to develop a notational analysis system for sporting teams and manage and present the results.
  3. Match analysis using digital video and computer entry.
  4. Motion analysis in sport using video and electronic tracking.
  5. Psychobiological tools for monitoring players in selected sports.
  6. The consequences of illness, injury and overtraining in sport and its impact on athletes.
  7. The need for, and nature of, feedback in the sporting environment.
  8. The use of heart rate analysis as a monitoring tool in sport.
  9. The use of visual analog scales for rating delayed onset muscle soreness.
  10. Transferring notational and motion analysis data into the coaching and training environment.
