It is vital that before we start a It is vital that before we start a programme of improvement, that we programme of improvement, that we measure our initial levels of fitnessmeasure our initial levels of fitness

We can measure our fitness in a We can measure our fitness in a number of different waysnumber of different ways

Observation schedules are useful tools Observation schedules are useful tools for assessing fitness levels as:for assessing fitness levels as:

They provide us with information about our They provide us with information about our performance related fitness (within a game performance related fitness (within a game environment – a match analysis)environment – a match analysis)

They are flexible – you build in to your observation They are flexible – you build in to your observation schedule the variables you want to measureschedule the variables you want to measure

NOTE OF CAUTION!!! – These do not provide NOTE OF CAUTION!!! – These do not provide definitive answers : Be careful not to come to the definitive answers : Be careful not to come to the wrong conclusions!wrong conclusions!

Note – this observation schedule was Note – this observation schedule was designed to show the “drop off” or designed to show the “drop off” or deterioration of skills which result deterioration of skills which result from the on-set of fatiguefrom the on-set of fatigue““If the player lacks cardio-respiratory endurance I would expect If the player lacks cardio-respiratory endurance I would expect his skills to deteriorate quicker. As he improves his cardio-his skills to deteriorate quicker. As he improves his cardio-respiratory endurance I would expect him to last longer and be respiratory endurance I would expect him to last longer and be able to perform the skills more consistently throughout the match”able to perform the skills more consistently throughout the match”


Observation schedules are most Observation schedules are most accurately completed when you use accurately completed when you use a video camera. This allows you to:a video camera. This allows you to:

Watch the performance over and over againWatch the performance over and over againStop/start the video when you wantStop/start the video when you wantSlow/speed up the actionSlow/speed up the action

MOST IMPORTANTLY – Ensures the data you MOST IMPORTANTLY – Ensures the data you have collected is accurate!have collected is accurate!


After coming to the conclusion that After coming to the conclusion that there is a problem with one aspect of there is a problem with one aspect of fitness, we need to get more fitness, we need to get more FOCUSED DATAFOCUSED DATA

We can do this by using We can do this by using STANDARDISED TESTSSTANDARDISED TESTS

Data CollectionData Collection Standardised tests allow us to measure Standardised tests allow us to measure

our fitness levels in a controlled fashion our fitness levels in a controlled fashion

We can also use them to compare our We can also use them to compare our result to what is the ‘norm’ for our age result to what is the ‘norm’ for our age group/performance levelgroup/performance level

Standardised test are also very useful as Standardised test are also very useful as they allow us to complete the test over they allow us to complete the test over and over(under the same conditions) to and over(under the same conditions) to monitor improvements/deterioration of monitor improvements/deterioration of performanceperformance


How many different standardised How many different standardised tests can you name and what do tests can you name and what do they measure?they measure?

i.e. Sit and reach test - flexibilityi.e. Sit and reach test - flexibility


If I did an 8 week training programme If I did an 8 week training programme for cardio-respiratory endurance, how for cardio-respiratory endurance, how many tests would I do?many tests would I do?

Who would complete the tests?Who would complete the tests?

How do we ensure all the tests are How do we ensure all the tests are the same/all the data is valid?the same/all the data is valid?


Answer – 5!!Answer – 5!!1 To collect my initial data1 To collect my initial data (observation (observation

schedule)schedule)1 to collect my focused data (Standardised test)1 to collect my focused data (Standardised test)1 after 4 weeks of my programme to see if their 1 after 4 weeks of my programme to see if their

has been any improvement (repeat of has been any improvement (repeat of standardised test)standardised test)

1 at the end of 8 weeks to measure 1 at the end of 8 weeks to measure improvements at the end of the programme improvements at the end of the programme (repeat of standardised test)(repeat of standardised test)

1 more observation schedule to see if improved 1 more observation schedule to see if improved cardio-respiratory endurance has impacted on my cardio-respiratory endurance has impacted on my overall performance.overall performance.


The same person who monitored the The same person who monitored the tests in the first instance would tests in the first instance would monitor the rest – to ensure monitor the rest – to ensure consistencyconsistency

Standardised tests help ensure Standardised tests help ensure validity of data – tests always done validity of data – tests always done under the same conditions with the under the same conditions with the same variables.same variables.
