The aim of this module is to enable students to gain an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of performance analysis.
Students will be introduced to a range of concepts and learn how to apply these to sport in order to provide effective performance analysis support.
Practical workshops are embedded throughout the module, to provide hands-on experience of software, processes and techniques employed in the field.
Students will also gain an appreciation of the multi-disciplinary use of performance analysis, and develop the necessary skills to communicate effectively with athletes, coaches, and the wider sports science team.
The aim of this module is to introduce students to various performance analysis concepts and techniques to broaden their knowledge of the discipline.
On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:
1. Identify, describe, and apply different methods of performance analysis.
2. Operationally define, evaluate and justify key performance indicators from their respective sports.
3. Apply industry-relevant software to design an appropriate tagging panel to analyse sporting performance.
4. Describe and apply processes to ensure intra and inter reliability within data collection.
5. Describe contemporary issues in performance analysis.
6. Coherently present ideas in written and oral format.
