Match Analysis is a major subject among coaches, team managers and sport scientists and it is gaining an increasing relevance day by day. Information and the relevant data processing are the key factors while referring to this aspect of the sport training methodology. Currently the concept of “Match Analysis” is used in several countries to define the process of observing and evaluating a “whole of behaviours” performed by the players during a match, applying different methodologies and using specific instruments and tools,in order to: 1. collect and process the relevant data concerning the different features of games or athletic disciplines, under different points of view; 2. provide relevant presentations, appropriately formatted, in order to show the collected and processed data in an accessible way to all the concerned people, at different levels (i.e. coaches, players, sport scientists, officials, managers, journalists, etc.); 3. provide an interpretation of the collected and processed data, in order to define better some specific feature of the investigated performance (i.e. the physiological side of the performance or the biomechanics or the tactical features of a match or a game) with the ultimate aim of improving these aspects through the appropriate administration of the relevant training processes. The aims of the thesis may be summarized as follows: 1. providing a large-scale overview of what is currently the role of the Match Analysis procedures in the general context of the training methodology; 2. analysing the professional profile (Study 1, Chapter 11) required to operate in this specific field and the attitudes of the possible Match Analysts, the Sport Sciences students, through a questionnaire purposely designed; 3. providing an example of Quantitative Biomechanics Analysis, (Study 2, Chapter 7) investigating a specific hockey technical skill, (the “Push”) often performed during a match in order to cope efficiently with the “Competition Invariants” situations (Free Hits, Corners, Penalty Stroke, etc.); 4. in order to define the relevant physiological performance indicators (match analysis, level 1) in field hockey, an extensive analysis of the motor abilities and the fitness levels has been carried out and presented (Study 3, chapter 7) for elite (international level) and sub-elite (national level) women hockey players; 5. describing some applied Qualitative and Quantitative Match Analysis procedures (Field Hockey, Football; Study 4 and 5, Chapter 8 and 13), through the process of: · analysing the commercial Video Match Analysis software available on the market at date; · using a video match analysis commercial software to collect data at international/national level in team sports such as Field Hockey and Football; · designing a new software able to improve the efficiency of the used video data base; · analysing the collected information, by the means of Data Mining, in order to provide the relevant Performance Predictors, suitable to improve the training processes and to help consistently the work of coaches even in real-time situations. Some final considerations are provided, suggesting the need for more and further investigations for the most part of the third level of analysis (General Strategy and Tactic). A greater involvement of the Universities is needed in order to qualify the future Match Analysts, ensuring them the appropriate knowledge of several and different disciplines that combine a pertinent interdisciplinary approach.
La Match Analisi è argomento di discussione di grande interesse fra gli allenatori, i dirigenti sportivi e gli studiosi di scienze dello sport, e sta raggiungendo giorno per giorno una sempre maggiore rilevanza. Quando ci si riferisce a questo particolare aspetto della metodologia dell’allenamento sportivo, l’Informazione e l’elaborazione dei dati pertinenti devono essere considerati i fattori chiave. Attualmente il concetto di “Match Analisi” è usato in diversi paesi per definire il processo della osservazione e valutazione di un “insieme di comportamenti” adottati dagli atleti durante una partita o incontro, applicando diverse metodologie ed utilizzando specifici mezzi e strumenti, al fine di: 1. raccogliere ed elaborare i dati relativi ai diversi aspetti di un gioco o di alcune discipline sportive, sotto diversi punti di vista; 2. fornire le relative risultanze, opportunamente formattate, al fine di presentare i dati raccolti ed elaborati in un modo accessibile a tutti gli interessati, a diversi livelli (es. Allenatori, Atleti, studiosi di Scienze Motorie, Dirigenti, Giudici ed Arbitri, Giornalisti, ecc.); 3. fornire una interpretazione dei dati raccolti ed elaborati, al fine di definire meglio alcune caratteristiche specifiche della prestazione studiata (p.es. il dato fisiologico della prestazione o la biomeccanica o gli aspetti tattici di una partita o di un gioco) con il fine ultimo di migliorare questi aspetti attraverso la proposizione opportuna dei relativi processi di allenamento. Le finalità di questa tesi possono essere sintetizzate come segue: 1. fornire una panoramica a larga scala di quello che è il ruolo delle procedure di Match Analisi, inserite nel contesto generale della metodologia dell’allenamento sportivo; 2. analizzare il profilo professionale (Studio 1, Capitolo 11) richiesto per poter operare in questo campo specifico e gli atteggiamenti dei possibili Match Analisti, gli studenti di Scienze Motorie, attraverso un questionario appositamente progettato; 3. fornire un esempio di Analisi Biomeccanica Quantitativa, (Studio 2, Capitolo 7) studiando una specifica tecnica hockeistica, il “push”, utilizzato spesso durante una partita, al fine di affrontare efficacemente le cosiddette “Invarianti di Competizione” (Tiri Liberi, Corners, Rigori, ecc.); 4. condurre e presentare (Studio 3, Capitolo 7) una analisi estensiva delle capacità motorie e dei livelli di condizione fisica nelle hockeiste di elite (livello internazionale) e sub-elite (livello nazionale) al fine di definire i possibili indicatori fisiologici di prestazione (livello 1 della Match Analisi); 5. descrivere alcune procedure applicative di Match Analisi Qualitativa e Quantitativa (Hockey, Calcio; Studio 4 e 5, Capitoli 8 e 13), attraverso i processi di: · analisi dei software di Video Match Analisi disponibili sul mercato attualmente; · uso di un software commerciale di video match analisi per raccogliere dei dati a livello nazionale/internazionale in giochi sportivi come l’Hockey su prato ed il Calcio; · progetto di un nuovo software capace di aumentare l’efficienza del Data Base Video utilizzato; · analisi delle informazioni raccolte, attraverso un programma di Data Mining, al fine di trovare gli opportuni Predittori di Prestazione, capaci di ottimizzare i processi di allenamento e di aiutare in modo consistente il lavoro degli Allenatori, anche in situazioni di tempo reale. Sono proposte alcune considerazioni conclusive, che suggeriscono la necessità di maggiori ed ulteriori ricerche, per la maggior parte relative al terzo livello di analisi (la Strategia Generale e la Tattica). Un maggior coinvolgimento delle Università appare opportuno al fine di qualificare i futuri Match Analisti, assicurando loro le opportune conoscenze nei diversi ambiti disciplinari che possono concorrere a permettere un opportuno approccio interdisciplinare.
