• 4 stage learning reflective learning process

  1. Reflection

  2. Recognition of areas to improve

  3. Planning for improvement

  4. Action
• Reflection

  The athlete/coach reflect on the action to evaluate performance: recognize strengths and weaknesses, identify factors that limiting performance
• Recognition of areas to improve

  Athlete compares their performance against that of the elite player and determine areas in which they must improve
• Planning for improvement


  Coaches/ athletes need to be up to date with innovation in training methods, by being aware of latest trends the coach and athlete can incorporate them into training
• Action

  The athlete complete in a game tournament, athlete attempts to rectify areas previously identified as limiting performance
• Benefits of using video analysis

  • Players learn faster because they can be shown were they need to improve
  • Less trial are required to accurately make an analzysing making the process more efficient and less time consuming
  • Is a form of visual feedback for the athlete
  • The performance of a player can be compared side by side against an exemplar
  • Track progress- the footage can be stored and referred to, to help measure improvemen
• Knudsen-morrison model

  Preparation phase- coach develops pre- requisite knowledge base about the skill

  Observation phase- systematic gathering of data about the performance

  Evaluation phase- identify strength and weaknesses of the performer, priorities weaknesses

  Intervention phase- provide feedback and suggest methods to improve

  Re-observation phase- Observe the performer in a similar context to the initial observation to see if changes implemented have improved performance
• Phases of training

  1. General preparation phase

  2. Specific preparation phase

  3. Pre competition phase

  4. Competition phase
• General preparation phase

  • Objective: training is designed to build a suitable aerobic base and skill level leading into the competition
  • Continuous, interval, fartlek training
• Specific preparation phase

  • Objective: develop game specific fitness, skills and strategies
  • HIIT, weight training, flexibility
• Pre competition phase

  • Objective: to reach peak match condition
  • Focus in training moves to match specific intensities, duration and tactics
  • Intensity of training increase
• Competition phase

  • Objective: fitness is maintained
  • Dependent on individual situations (injury and illness, position, number games played, game time played)
  • Players at optimal level of skills and fitness
• part 1 sliding filament theory

  1. A neurochemical stimulation results in calcium being released by the sarcoplasmic reticulum
  2. This causes the binding to troponin and moving the tropomyosin to reveal a binding site for myosin heads to attatch
  3. Myosin heads bind to actin filaments creating a cross bridge to reveal a binding site for the myosin head to connect this is due to calcium binding to the actin filaments creating a cross bridge
  4. Breakdown of ATP released energy to stiumulated the myosin cross bridges to pull the actin filaments towards the midline of the sarcomere
• part 2 sliding filament theory

  1. This results in shortening of the sarcomeres as the actin and myosin filaments 'slide over' each other, causing x line to come closer together the h zone to shorten, the A band remain the same and the I band to shorten as well
  2. Shortening each sarcomere shortens the myofibril resulting in the shortening of the muscle fiber and movement occurs
  3. Cross bridges attatch and reattach at different times to create movement and maintain tension
  4. Excess ATP disconnects the myosin head from the actin filament as the myosin and actin filaments returns to a relaxed position
