Unit 2: Factors Impacting on Performance

Activity: Gymnastics (Data Booklet)

OVERVIEW

During the gymnastics block you will be undergoing a process called the ‘Cycle of Analysis’. This process is designed to help you identify areas of your performance that need improved and plan a programme of work achieve this.

The cycle we will follow will be as such;

PHYSICAL FACTORS

- Collect data using a Movement Analysis on one identified weaknesses - Compare with model performer

EMOTIONAL FACTORS

- SCAT TEST

TRAINING PROGRAMME

- 6 weeks - Focusing on the development of one skill and one emotional factor

ANALYSE

- Compare before, during and after

EVALUATE;

- Reflect of effectiveness of your programme of work - Identify future development needs GENERAL OBSERVATION SCHEDULE (Putting your performance in context)

Perform a sequence comprising of a minimum of six skills linked together. Have a partner observe your routine and grade the performance of each skill on a scale of 1-4. (1 = poor, 4 = excellent)

SKILL PERFORMANCE 1 PERFORMANCE 2 (BEFORE TRAINING) (AFTER TRAINING)

Now that you have analysed your performance, which skill requires improvement and why?

MOVEMENT ANALYSIS A movement analysis is a type of Essential Model Self Self Self observation schedule where the observed Features Performer 1 2 3 skill is broken down into three parts; Preparation PREPARATION 1......     Is the movements BEFORE you perform 2......  X   the skill 3......  X x 

ACTION Action Is the movements AS you perform the 1......     skill 2......  ?   3......  x x  RECOVERY Is the movements AFTER you perform the skill Recovery 1......  X   2...... ? Movement characteristics of each stage  x  3......  X x  are usually arrived at through watching a model performer. Both performances are then compared.

Advantages of using a MOVEMENT ANALYSIS

It is a useful way to make a detailed analysis on one skill

It measures the effectiveness of a performer’s preparation, action and recovery phases

You can compare own performance to that of a model’s

By analysing the data, it is possible to discover areas for improvement

The data provides a permanent record

Performances can be compared before, during and after the training programme PHYSICAL Data Collection – Movement Analysis (on weak skill)

1. Select the skill that you found to be your weakness

2. Record your performance of that specific skill using the iPad

3. Use a movement analysis PAR checklist to evaluate your performance, against that of a model

Weaknesses TARGET SETTING / CREATING A DEVELOPMENT PLAN

When planning a programme of work to improve performance it is important to set targets to ensure the work is appropriate to the performer. The acronym SMARTER can be used to help:

Specific  The programme of work must be specific to the learners needs. What are you working on? What stage of learning are you at?

Measurable  You need to be able to tell when you have reached a goal i.e. comparing data from before and after training.

Agreed  The programme must be agreed with your teacher / coach to ensure it is suitable.

Realistic  It must be enjoyable and challenging, but not impossible!

Time-phased  You need to set a time frame to work within so you can prepare before your main performance / event.

Exciting  It is important to keep your programme exciting so you stay motivated and work hard, without getting bored.

Recordable  You should keep a record of your work and chart your progress in a training diary.
