TUESDAY 7 OCTOBER AND THURSDAY 9 OCTOBERTesting the Profile Discrepancies and Deciding Priorities
Sports Performance
Area
Focus Discrepancy Test Name
RepeatableWhat is the test method? This
needs to be detailed so anyone could conduct the test.
MeasurableHow will you measure the test? What are the units and how will your measurement be accurate?
SpecificHow can you justify your test is specific to the
focus discrepancy? Is there any normative data to compare and rank performance?
Test DiagramIf Appropriate
Technical
Tackling one on one.
Video analysis Having retrieved video footage of the participant to watch
back and to create notes and create a tally chart of how
many times focus discrepancy of tackles one on one is either
successful or unsuccessful. Then creating a percentage of
the success of discrepancy.
The test will be measured by creating a percentage from the tally chart of results on
how successful the participant was at the focus discrepancy.
The test is specific because it is in a game situation. There is no normative data but
to be successful in 7’s a wing must be able to have a high percentage success
rate of tackles.
Tactical
Remaining deep in arrow structure
when attacking
video analysis The same way as technical, having retrieved footage of my participant playing in a game, to create a tally chart when
seeing the focus discrepancy of how many times I see the
athlete in the correct position in the arrow structure –
remaining deep.
The test will be measured by tallying how many times there
is an attacking opportunity and whether the athlete who
is being analysed is in the arrow structure remaining
deep and then calculating a percentage on how many times the athlete is in the
correct position.
The test is specific because the video is a game situation where the athlete is
doing what they believe to be the right positioning and play.
Psychological
Confidence in decision making
Confidence Questionnaire
The questionnaire given will be filled out by participant
who then helps create a score. This score is show by adding up all the numbers from the questionnaire and finding a total. The normative data to go with the results are found
on the questionnaire and compare the athlete’s results
to the normative data.
The test is measured by the scores given and these scores must be added up to create a
total. The higher the total means that the athlete has a high confidence level in their
sports performance.
This test is specific due the questions being sport specific and relating to game situations specific to the performer and
how the performer feels.
Biomechanics
Linear Acceleration
Speed = distance/time,
this can be show in the 30m
acceleration test
The test is able to be repeated. The athlete must undergo a warm to prepare themselves including being aerobic exercise which will increase the athlete’s heart
rate. There is 30meters measured out in a straight line with a cone at the start and a
cone at 30 meters. The observer will take the time from the athletes first foot
strike to the time is takes for their torso to cross the
finishing line after 30meters. This is then repeated 3 times.
The results are measured by the time it takes to cover the distance. This can then be put into a processor on sites such as brianmac.co.uk which is a reliable source which will use
the data over 30meters to show whether the timing is
good.
this is specific to a game of rugby 7’s who plays on the wing because when in
a game they will cover distances of around 30meters in each sprint or attack
which they do.
30 meters
Physical
Aerobic Endurance
5 minute run This test is easily done; it involves measuring out a
distance which an athlete is able to run in a square. I measured out a 5mx5m
square, and must be able to measure the amount of
meters covered. The athlete must continuously run for 5
minutes around the area which will have been marked out in meters. At the end of
the 5 minutes it will be calculated how many times
the athlete has run around the square and calculates the
meters which are covered.
These results are then measured by the amount of
meters which were covered in the 5 minutes of running.
These results can be compared to normative data which the RFU have released to test whether the results of
the athlete are at a high standard or need improving.
This is specific to rugby 7’s because a game of 7’s will only last for a couple
minutes and there will be partial breaks throughout the game due to line out,
tries scored and conversions. So in relation to rugby the endurance an
athlete would need is around 5 minutes.

Physiological
Recovery of heart rate
A bespoke test of how long beats per minute take to get to resting bpm/heart rate.
The test is easily done by taking the athletes resting
heart rate before exercise, and then taking part in a high
intensity exercise which raises the heart rate, and then once
exercise has stopped immediately takes the heart
rate of the athlete and record this result and every minute
afterwards until the heart rate is returns to resting heart rate.
Heart rate is measured by Beats per minute; this can be
measured by the athlete taking their pulse at their
wrists or below the ear and counting how many beats there is within the minute.
this is specific to rugby because the athlete must be able to recover in game
situations but also throughout the tournament it is important for the
athletes heart rate to be able to recover so that they can be prepared for the next
game in short interval times
