Analyzing Sports Skills • Qualitative vs Quantitative • Qualitative • Visual observation • Quantitative • Physical measurements of time, force, etc. • Can be an expensive process!
Analyzing Sports Skills • McGinnis process • Description • Develop a theoretical model of performance • Observation • Watch technique of individual • Evaluation • Compare ideal technique to the observed performance • Instruction • Provide feedback and instruction
Analyzing Sport Skills • Determine the Objectives of the Skill • Special Characteristics of the Skill • Study Top-Flight Performances of the Skill • Divide the Skill Into Phases • Preparatory Movements and Mental Set • Wind-up (Backswing, etc.) • Force-Producing Movements • Follow-Through (Recovery) • Divide Each Phase Into Key Elements • Understand the Mechanical Reasons
Identifying and Correcting Errors • Observe the Complete Skill • Determine optimal viewing points • Safety concerns for coach and athlete during viewing • Uninterrupted execution of the skill • Analyze Each Phase and its Key Elements • Backward approach • Knowledge of Biomechanics and Physiology • Select the Errors • Methods to correct the Errors
Example Analysis • Sprint Running (pg 308) • Cyclic skill • Stride length + Stride frequency • Race components • Start • Acceleration phase • Velocity maintenance phase • Finish
Step #1: Theoretical Basis • Develop theoretical basis • Purpose of running the 100 meter dash • Performance criterion would be 100 meter dash time • Develop performance criterion for each phase • Start components and time factor • Acceleration phase components and time factor • Velocity maintenance components • Finish components Average Velocity = Step length x Stride frequency
What makes a sprinter fast? • Horizontal displacement affects horizontal velocity • Force applied to the ground during support phase is related to the friction force between the runner’s shoe and the ground • Negative work component (Eccentric loading) • Support phase • Positive work component (Concentric contractions) • Propulsive phase • Speeds up the runner
What makes a sprinter fast? • Flight time is affected by vertical velocity • CG height at takeoff • CG height upon landing • Average drag force due to air resistance • Figure 13.14 (pg 311)
