Current approaches to performance analysis in team sports. [Enfoques actuales para el análisis de rendimiento en deportes de equipo

Abstract

Performance analysis in sport is considered a research area that has grown rapidly in the last two decades (O’Donoghue, 2014). One of the most important reasons of this fact is the interest of sport stakeholders (i.e., coaches, players, managers, fans and performance analysist) regarding to improve the training processes and the management and control of competition (O’Donoghue, 2014; O’Donoghue, Holmes, & Robinson, 2017). Accordingly, performance analysis has evolved including different topics and issues to be studied such as: critical moments and perturbations in sport, coaches’ behaviours, performance indicators in sport, injuries incidence and physical analysis, movement analysis during competitions, reliability and validity of sport behaviours, analysis of technique and tactics in sport, normative profilings, analysis of effectiveness of performance analysis or the analysis of referees’ performance (O’Donoghue, 2014). https://doi.org/10.5232/ricyde2018.051ed References/referencias Gomez, M.A., Lago, C., & Pollard, R.
