For information on the general design and analysis of sports performance research, see article by Atkinson and Nevill (2001). As mentioned earlier, the choice and quality of equipment are essential factors in measuring and assessing key components of performance. According to Katz (2001), the criteria for success of the various applications and resources used to assess contemporary performance in sport should: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ be based on techniques that are currently being used and for which there is clear evidence of success; address clearly defined and measurable needs; be interactive and responsive, in real time, to client needs; be transferable yet customisable across sporting environments; result in positive changes which may impact on attitudes, performance and/or costs; and, integrate technology with easy-to-use interfaces that are reliable, effective, efficient and transparent to the user.
1994). These data may be used to calculate the relative phase between two segments which can be a valuable measure of coordination that may be tracked as the skill develops with practice (Lees, 2002). , 2005) to using cross-correlation techniques is the normalised root mean square difference method (NoRM-D) proposed by Horn and colleagues (2005). There are more sophisticated techniques that allow scientists to examine global rather than localised changes in motor coordination over time. , 2007) and artificial neural networks or Kohonen nets (see Barton, 1999).
A measure of coordination may describe the positional orientation between two body parts and/or their temporal phasing. At an introductory level, such relationships may be presented pictorially using angle–angle diagrams. , 2005). The quantification of coordination has generally been achieved using a crosscorrelation technique where, for example, the angular orientation of one joint is correlated with that of another joint. A positive correlation indicates that the two joints or limbs are ‘in phase’, whereas a negative correlation suggests that they are ‘out of phase’.
