What is Sports Performance Analytics?
Researchers in the field of Sports Science describe performance analysis as a sub-discipline that uses ‘adaptative tools’ like human-machine instructiveness, visualization, evaluation, feedback, perspectives, generalization, and preparatory planning to study ‘variables’ and ‘fundamental indicators’ to build performance models and performance profiling. Such analysis is of critical importance to players, while coaches, performance analysts, technical staff, and managers use the data to draw insights and to manage performance in training and competition.
