Biomechanics / Kinematics:

The science of movement ‘The study of forces, and the effects of those forces, on and within the human body.’ Sporting application

 -  fine detail of movement and technique

 -  identifying the link between mechanics and anatomy.

Kinematics – analysis of human movement!

- improve 100metre start with adjustments to body position at start

- improve basketball shot with adjustments to technique and angles

Performance analysis:

‘Area of sports science that informs the coaching process through the provision of statistical and video information’ 2 types – biomechanical and notational analysis

3 of 12

Performance / Biomechanical Analysis:

‘The combination of biomechanical and notational analysis techniques to study how movements relate to sports performance.’ Links mechanics with anatomy – technique Compare own technique with technical model Highlight weaknesses and strengths Reduce potential injury by recognising technical faults Eg: Dartfish

4 of 12

Notational Analysis:

‘A technology which focuses on gross movements and the analysis of strategy and tactics.’ Data on team, parts of team, individuals Data includes

- ‘Match indicators’ -  shots on target, crosses

- ‘Technical indicators’ – number of passes, tackles won, tackles lost

 - ‘Tactical indicators’ – time in possession, possession linked to pitch position

Allows

 - Tactical analysis

 - Comparison with other performances

 - Comparison with other teams

Eg: Prozone
