What is Performance Analysis?
Performance Analysis is an area of sport and exercise science concerned with actual sports performance rather than self reports by athletes or laboratory experiments. The applied nature of performance analysis research is described and a justification for performance analysis as a research area is made. There is overlap between performance analysis and other disciplines. The main reason for doing performance analysis is to develop an understanding of sports that can inform decision making by those seeking to enhance sports performance. performance analysis is primarily done to provide support for individual athletes as well as squads. within the coaching context, the objective information is often produced by a professional performance analyst who liaises with the coach as part of a coaching process that involves providing feedback to the players. performance analysis can also be used as a scoring system in sports like figure skating so judges can see where to award points or not. (P O'Donoghue, 2010)
"Performance analysis involves the systematic collection of the evidence, assessment of quality, extraction of data from each source, compilation of data into tables or chats to facilitate comparison appraisal of its overall strength and ultimately synthesis." (Faulkner et al., 2006, Cited By C Carling et al., 2009:19)
