Gathering Information
Why do we gather information?

• It provides objective, accurate and reliable
  information about the performer in relation to
  the specific demands of the activity

• Identifies individual strengths and weaknesses

• Provides a clear focus for planning a programme
  to improve your fitness

• Provides a baseline or starting point

• Allows you to monitor your fitness development
  and compare scores to previous tests.

Methods of Data Collection

• Within the Activity
• Video performance
• Initial Data Observation Schedule
• Time Related Observation Schedule (TROS)

• Outwith the Activity
• Standard fitness tests
• Physical- Leger, 12 Minute Cooper Test
• Skill Related- Illinois Agility Test
• Mental- SCAT Test (Sport Competition Anxiety Test)

Gathering Information on Physical Factors

• There are a number of methods of gathering
  information for a physical factor using
  standardised tests

CRE Speed Strength Power Agility
Leger 30m Sprint Hand Grip Test Vertical Jump Illinois Agility test
Cooper Standing long Jump

Gathering Information on Physical Factors

• For each method we need to make sure we can
  describe in detail how the test is set up.
• e.g. The cooper test is a test used to measure
  cardio respiratory endurance (CRE). The point of
  the test is to run as far as possible over 12
  minutes. The test is set up by using a 400m track
  with 100m markers around the inside of the track.
  My coach will start the test from the 100m finish
  line and count how many times I pass this point
  within the 12 minutes. Depending on where I am at
  the end of the test I can work out the distance I
  have travelled round the track using the 100m
  markers to give the correct distance I travelled
  on my last lap. From there I can work out the
  distance I have travelled, for example if I
  completed 8.5 laps I would use the sum 8.5 x 400
  meters 3400 meters.

Gathering information on physical actors

• You must be able to describe in detail how each
  test is set up
• For each of the following tests give a detailed
  description on how you would set them up
• - Leger
• - Standing Long Jump
• - Illinois Agility test

8
Why use Standardised tests

• We use standardised test to gather information
  because the data is
• Valid and reliable
• Easily managed
• Consistent - Reliability
• Accurate - Validity
• Easy to read and interpret/understand
• Can be compared to National Average
• Referred to and compared to previous results

Questions

• When answering a question on methods of gathering
  information on a specific factor you must answer
  the following points
• What is the method?
• Why is it appropriate?
• How do you set it up?
• What does it tell you?
• What do you do with the score?

10
Homework

• For homework answer the following question
• Examine, in detail, and explain a method you have
  used to gather information on a physical factor
  (CRE).
