Notational analysis of sport

About this book

Notational analysis is used by coaches and sport scientists to gather objective data on the performance of athletes. Tactics, technique, individual athlete movement and work-rate can all be analysed, enabling coaches and athletes to learn more about performance and gain a competitive advantage. Systems for notational analysis are becoming increasingly sophisticated, reflecting the demands of coaches and scientists, as well as improvements in technology. This 2nd edition is updated with information about the new technology and a review of the very latest research in notational analysis. There's also practical guidance for constructing notational systems for any sport, and relating data to real-life performance and coaching.
