    Study Notes

    Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data in Sports Training

    • Qualitative data focuses on experiences, observable behaviors, and categorizable aspects. Examples include a child isolating themselves or a child reacting negatively to correction. Interventions might include creating activities to integrate these children.
    • Quantitative data involves measurable magnitudes such as repetitions, sets, distances, intensity (heart rate, perceived exertion), and time motion analysis.

    Quantitative Data Collection Instruments in Sports Training

    • A study used subjective perception scales, heart rate, and time motion analysis to quantify training load during practices and competitions.
    • During training, variables like speed, distance covered at specific speeds, time spent at certain intensities (related to maximal heart rate), and acceleration variables (2D, 3D) were measured.
    • During competitions, focus shifted to distance covered at different speeds and acceleration variables. Total distance covered is a key variable, although not the sole determinant of success.
    • Older methods, such as manual recording systems (like "Sapitos"), provided quantitative data even without advanced software.
    • Modern tools, like GPS trackers and game analysis software, offer comprehensive data capture but may not be accessible in all settings.
    • A case study compared data from GPS tracking and game analysis software on soccer players. This includes heat maps and distance covered.
    • Another study compared sprint performance (8 sprints) across basketball, handball, and soccer players, analyzing fatigue index and sprint time. This highlighted the capability of older, larger devices to collect data.

    Monitoring Training Load through Quantitative Data: Examples

    • A study on the evaluation of speed and power during deep squats shows how power and velocity were calculated across five repetitions.
    • Even without specialized equipment like encoders, basic physics (distance and time) can be used to calculate velocity and, with weight data, power.
    • Analyzing changes in speed across multiple repetitions can indicate shifts in the type of training zone (e.g., power vs. strength endurance). A decrease in speed could signal substrate depletion or fatigue.

    Summary and Considerations

    • Various methods exist for monitoring training, ranging from basic time/distance measurements to sophisticated software packages.
    • The choice of method depends on available resources and the specific context.
    • Understanding the different types of data available (qualitative and quantitative), and how they are collected and interpreted, is crucial for effective training monitoring.

    Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data in Sports Training

    • Qualitative data focuses on observations and experiences, such as a child's behavior during training.
    • Quantitative data involves measurable data such as repetitions, sets, distances, and heart rate.

    Quantitative Data Collection Instruments in Sports Training

    • Studies use heart rate, subjective perception scales, and time motion analysis to quantify training load.
    • Training data can include speed, distance covered, time spent at different intensity levels, and acceleration variables.
    • Competition data focuses on distance covered at different speeds and acceleration variables.
    • Older methods, like "Sapitos," manually collected quantitative data.
    • Modern tools, like GPS trackers and game analysis software, offer comprehensive data capture but may not be accessible to all.
    • A case study compared GPS tracking and game analysis software data for soccer players, including heat maps and distance covered.
    • Another study compared sprint performance across basketball, handball, and soccer players using older devices, highlighting their potential for collecting data.

    Monitoring Training Load through Quantitative Data: Examples

    • A study on deep squats analyzed speed and power changes across repetitions.
    • Basic physics (distance and time) can be used to calculate velocity and power.
    • Changes in speed throughout repetitions can indicate shifts in training zone and potential fatigue.

    Summary and Considerations

    • Monitoring training methods range from basic time/distance measurements to advanced software.
    • The choice of method depends on available resources and the context.
    • Understanding qualitative and quantitative data, their collection methods, and interpretation is essential for effective training monitoring.
