Aims
This module aims to equip students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to conduct performance analysis for team sport(s). The module aims to develop students’ skills in data collection, analysis and reporting for team performance analysis using a variety of data collection and analyses tools, including (but not limited to) player monitoring platforms, global positioning systems and video analysis platforms. This module also aims to prepare students to critically evaluate the scientific evidence base behind performance technologies and prepare students to respond to the rapidly evolving technologies proliferating in the sports performance domain.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically evaluate key performance metrics and performance analysis technologies in team sports
2.
Demonstrate competence in using performance analysis technology (such as GPS) and a range of analytics and data handling software
3.
Analyse, present and interpret physical, technical, and tactical performance data on a team sport using appropriate technological solutions.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Introduction to performance analysis for team sports
Introduction to technology commonly used in team sport (e.g. GPS)
Introduction to performance analysis techniques and software
Conducting a needs analysis for team sports and identifying key performance indicators
Performing analysis on team data sets
Reporting on analysis from team data sets
Practical implementation for performance analysis in team sport
Additional Information:This module provides students the opportunity to critically understand the theoretical underpinning and explore the application of a variety of analysis approaches to assess team sports performance. Students will develop high-quality fundamental skills to collect, interpret and disseminate performance data for team-based sports to other professionals (e.g. coaches, support staff, athletes) and sports professionals using both field-based approaches.
