Performance Analysis
The Science of Rugby:
Articles of interest and the revisiting the role of science in sports performance
We're building up to the big London Marathon weekend, which has thankfully come one week after the Iceland Volcano and so most of the big names will line up in London on Sunday. As always, we've got the race covered - a preview tomorrow, then in-race coverage and splits, and the post-race analysis, so join us for that in the coming days!
Performance Analysis is not a new feature of modern sports; rather it has always been an integral part of coaching. Coaches have been relying on their ability to observe and analyse performance to provide feedback to their players and/or teams for many years. It is only with the advent of sport science and technology that performance analysis has evolved into a more formally recognised element of sporting preparation.
