Technique Analysis

Team Bath’s video analysis systems can be used to assess all manner of different sports related techniques, this may range from long jump take off, or a tennis serve to weight training techniques. The support service allows the coach and athlete a greater chance to analyse the activities taking place within a training session or competition. Technique analysis sessions can be carried out live during a training session whereby the athlete can view their performance instantly, thus allowing for any technical improvements, deficiencies or inconsistencies to be highlighted and corrected immediately. Alternatively training sessions can be filmed and analysed for a feedback session at a later date in our video analysis feedback room. Team Bath’s technique analysis systems include the following features:
- Full screen playback with easy control over slow motion, forward, backward play and stills.
- Multiple screen playback allowing between two and six images to be viewed on the screen at the same time, useful for comparing techniques of different athletes or the same athlete.
- Two images can be overlaid enabling closer analysis of movement and technique.
- Graphics and text including lines, joint angles, rectangles and grids can be freely drawn to show technique in specific ways.
A permanent record of all sessions can be kept so that coaches and athletes can monitor improvements over time. For pool bases sports such as swimming, triathlon and modern pentathlon, Team Bath has an underwater camera allowing easy access for both the coach and athlete to underwater stroke analysis. Underwater and poolside views can be synchronised together allowing the coach and athlete to view the full picture of technique.
Match-analysis
Team Bath’s video analysis systems support teams and individuals with match analysis and video review services that allow coaches, athletes and technical staff to make assessments and provide feedback. Analysis outputs are tailored to the requirements of the athlete or coach and in a football context could include:
- Corners
- Goal Attempts
- Free Kicks
- Crosses
- Key Players (Possession & Tendencies)
- And any other category that a coach or athlete may wish to review and analyse.
Match or game incident summaries can be delivered in a single debriefing CD Rom/ Video/ DVD organised by categories which you select. A written report can also be delivered containing detailed statistics upon individual players/match incidents that you select.
Screenings
In order to maximise the performance benefits and quality of service each athlete receives, Team Bath Human Performance Centre and the Sports Injury Clinic can offer an individual screening from a team of service providers (Physiotherapist, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Performance Analyst) working together with the athlete. The process will involve screening for postural and muscle balance / joint stability issues during static, simple and sport specific movements and includes gait analysis. Baseline shots of such movements will be taken to monitor progress.
The athlete will be provided with a visual record and written report of the findings and their implications. This allows the athlete to retain a visual progress log to use potentially throughout their career. This medium will also improve understanding from the athlete by having a visual picture and subsequently could enhance motivation and adherence to any rehabilitation or strength and conditioning programme.
Video Analysis Support for Football Clubs
Team Bath can now provide your football club with video analysis support to help improve your team’s performance. Using SportsCode Elite Match Analysis Software we can breakdown entire matches into manageable clips to show your players exactly what you want them to see. These clips are presented on our Performance Analysis website where they can be viewed along with any comments the coaching staff wish to add. Once accessed on the website these videos can be saved to the personal computers of players and coaches for repeat viewing.
This service is offered remotely, once a match has been filmed and the footage sent to the Team Bath Analysts, the team can expect the clips to be viewable online within 24 hours of our analysts receiving the match tapes.
As part of the service we require the Club to:
- Film the match from a single camera angle (preferably situated in line with the middle of the pitch and elevated) with camera following play.
- Send the Team Bath Analysts the original match tapes, (match needs to be recorded onto mini DV tapes, 1 per half) as soon as possible after filming.
- Provide the Team Bath Analysts with a list of key performance indicators analysis objectives or coaching points (No more than 5 per match) which edited clips should reflect with examples of play which are good and/or poor.
In turn within 24 hours of receiving the tapes the Team Bath Performance Analysts will:
- Capture the footage into SportsCode Elite Match Analysis Software
- Design a coding template to edit the match based on the teams match objectives and coaching points
- Produce edited video clips complete with annotations and comments relative to the match objectives and coaching points.
- Post the clips on a secure page on the
Team Bath Performance Analysis website
Charge: £150/match
