Abstract
Athletes, both professional and amateur, are always looking for ways to improve their performance. With the introduction and increasing availability of modern technologies and smart devices arose the need to measure and analyze performance, but likewise, the use of these innovations as a competitive advantage also arose. Scientific publications reflect the wide range of available approaches and technologies, as well as the growing interest in various sports. As a result, we concentrated on a systematic review of publications that presented performance analysis tools and methods in all sports, with a final focus on racket sports. Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science (WoS) and Elsevier Inc.’s SCOPUS databases were searched for 1147 studies that conducted performance analysis and sports research and were published in English. The data in the systematic review are current, up until 18 May 2021. A general review was performed on 759 items, and then 65 racket sports publications were thoroughly scrutinized. We concentrated on performance data, data collection and analysis tools, performance analysis methods, and software. We also talked about performance prediction. In performance research, we have identified specific approaches for specific sports as well as key countries. We are also considering expanding performance analysis in to E-sports in the future.
Highlights
As technology has become more accessible to athletes across a wide range of sports, performance analysis has evolved over the last few decades
The study began with a global systematic review of performance analysis in sport (EC1-EC5), and subsequently, we focused on racket sports (EC6)
There are several parts that discuss the objectives of performance analysis, the methods of gathering data, and tools for data collection and automation analysis
Summary
As technology has become more accessible to athletes across a wide range of sports, performance analysis has evolved over the last few decades. Performance analysis has proven to be an important part of an athlete’s development, coaching process, and a significant competitive advantage. Even though they do not fully utilize all available technologies, performance analysts are a unified approach that examines the interactions between players and their individual skill elements. Most people agree that psychological fitness, psychological preparedness, physical development, biomechanical proficiency, and tactical awareness all play a role in sports performance. Just a few examples include psychological fitness, psychological preparedness, physical development, biomechanical ability, and tactical awareness (nutrition, genetics, general health and well-being, socio-cultural factors, etc.)
