Sports analysis
The analysis of sports forms the cornerstone of every professional, high-quality training plan, along with training and competition analysis.
The aim of sports analysis is to thoroughly analyze a sport in detail and to filter out the individual components and characteristics for the subsequent training planning. This begins with the anthropometry of the athlete and the favorable conditions for the sport. It then moves on to the characteristic movement skills such as the performance-determining coordinative abilities or the relevant movement patterns and their muscular demands. This also includes the stress patterns of the sport in terms of strength, endurance, speed, flexibility, and not to forget the mental stress. Questions arise here such as:
What type of flexibility is needed? What type of strength? What is the duration of strength application in competition? Are there position-specific differences? Last but not least, of course, the rhythms/cycles of the sport, i.e., how long is the competition duration, how long is the effective stress duration, how high is the intensity, ...
In this unit, participants learn about all relevant factors as well as associated analysis tools for sports analysis and are then able to shed light on a sport precisely.
