Study Notes
Factors Influencing Performance
- Skill and Technique Development: Utilize video analysis, skill feedback sheets, extrinsic feedback, and performance profile wheels to refine skills.
- Data Collection Methods: Implement wide angle cameras and GPS data for comprehensive performance analysis, along with self-reflection and statistic sheets.
- Physical Fitness Evaluation: Conduct health-related and performance-related fitness testing, comparing results against normative data for benchmarking.
- Psychological Preparedness: Assess factors like confidence, anxiety, motivation, and concentration using tools like the Sports Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT) and Sports Motivation Scale.
- Nutrition Tracking: Use food diaries to monitor intake; applications like MyFitnessPal assist in tracking calories and macronutrients.
- Communication: Engage in discussions with coaches and teammates to understand roles and relationships affecting performance.
- Biomechanics Analysis: Leverage video analysis tools like Hudl and Coach’s Eye to evaluate technique through angle analysis.
- Physiological Demands: Monitor recovery and sleep patterns using wearable trackers such as Whoop and Fitbit, alongside RPE scales and training diaries.
- Choreography Evaluation: Gather insights through observations from coaches and athletes, supplemented by video analysis.
Goal Setting
- Purpose of Goals: Goals provide motivation, establish clear targets, reduce stress through realistic timeframes, and simplify progress tracking.
-
S.M.A.R.T Goals Framework:
- Specific: Clearly define what you want to achieve.
- Measurable: Ensure progress can be tracked and measured.
- Achievable: Set challenging yet attainable goals to avoid frustration.
- Realistic: Goals should be feasible considering the athlete's capabilities.
- Time-bound: Set deadlines to maintain motivation.
- Example of a SMART Goal: Aim to increase cardiovascular endurance from 1800 metres in 12 minutes to 2200 metres in 12 minutes within six weeks.
Artistic and Aesthetic Performances
-
Definitions:
- Aesthetic Performance: Focuses on the beauty of a performance.
- Artistic Performance: Showcases natural or creative skills for aesthetic pleasure.
-
Data Types:
- Objective Data: Involves measurable metrics (e.g., time, distance) that provide consistent results regardless of observer perspective.
- Subjective Data: Assesses creativity and aesthetics based on personal insights, often lacking reliability due to its dependent nature on individual opinions.
- Performance Characteristics: Artistic performances emphasize creative skill application, while aesthetic performances prioritize visual enjoyment.
