ANGUS, SIMON D. A Statistical Timetable for the Sub–2-Hour Marathon, Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. July 2019. Volume 51: p 1460- 1466.
What does sub-2 hour pace look like?
Average 4.34 miling
13 miles per hour
20.9 km per hour
Quite a pace!So why did this happen?
What determines a sub-2 hour marathon performance? Is it, I. Physiological/Biological II. Technological/Tactical III. Psychological IV.A combination of all the above
Can a £200+ pair of shoes make me
faster?
Probably!Equipment determined results • 98 percent of medallists at the 2008 Olympics were won by swimmers wearing the Speedo LZR • Subsequently banned
Why is this important?
• Since 2016 Vaporfly’s have dominated
• Records tumbling
• Numbers of Olympic qualifiers greatly increased
Prototype Vaporfly’s reduce
the energetic cost of running
by an average of 4%
compared with established
marathon racing shoes.So, is it just to do with the shoes? • Definitely not – multifactorial • Amazing athletes • The shoes do provide a compelling stimulus • Controversy - Responder v non-responder • No ‘non-responders’ - need to look at study characteristics/athletes
Governing body response • Stack height restrictions (
Summary question
Given that shoe technology has advanced, and appears to
enhance performance, should we restrict stack height or ban
these shoes altogether?
I. Yes
II. No
III. Adapt to remove the energetic benefitScouting and Recruitment in Football Mark Quinn
What is Performance Analysis?
• Performance Analysis is the
(Bishop, 2003) investigation of actual sports
performance or performance in
training.
The main reason for using
performance analysis is to develop
an understanding of sports that
can inform decision making by
those seeking to enhance sports
performance.
(O’Donoghue, 2010)What is the role of a performance
analyst?
• There are many roles and responsibilities of a
performance analyst that investigate technical,
tactical, physical, psychological and social aspects
related to performance.
• One example from applied practice is conducting
live analysis to inform decisions within gameplay.
• Performance analysts are involved in video
analysis, data analysis, pre-game preparations,
post-game review, and scouting & recruitment.
• From an academic and research perspective there
are also many areas including understanding the
demands of the game, patterns of play and
determinants of success.Performance Analysis Research
Sarmento et al. (2018)Performance Analysis Software
Scouting & Recruitment
Premier League clubs' estimated summer annual
• Traditionally, scouting in football is
transfer spend - 2003 to 2019 (£m)
very much subjective / opinion
based.
• ‘One-off’ performance observation is
essentially flawed as it only captures
the ‘current performance model’ of an
athlete (Button, 2011).
• Performance analysts within scouting
and recruitment now have access to
a large volume of video and data to
make objective comparisons with
players.
• Within athlete profiling Martindale
and Mortimer (2011) emphasise the
importance of a holistic integration of
technical, tactical, physical and
psychological performance features
is required.
