About Sports Performance and Performance Analysis

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

This unit sits in the Skill Acquisition, Psychology and Performance strand of Physical education and sport. Most of the page is mind maps, and many follow the same set of questions: how does training affect performance, how can nutrition and recovery strategies affect performance, and how does the acquisition of skill affect performance. Several resources mention GCSE PE, GCSE Physical Education, A-level PE and A-level Physical Education.

Where to start

Begin with the mind map CORE 2 - FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE. It lays out the alactacid, lactic acid and aerobic energy systems, with fuel source and efficiency of ATP production. Then open the flashcard deck Core 2 - Factors Affecting Performance and test yourself on the three energy systems.

  1. Read a mind map to see the whole topic.
  2. Move to the notes for detail, such as the cognitive stage of skill acquisition, where learners cannot usually spot their own errors.
  3. Use flashcards to recall key terms.
  4. Finish with a quiz.

Nutrition, drugs and talent

The notes on nutrition and recovery cover pre-performance eating, including carb loading, and liquid meals taken at the right time. The Drugs mind map groups narcotic analgesics, beta blockers, anabolic steroids, diuretics, stimulants and EPO or peptide hormones, with their effects. The Ergogenic aids flashcards bring in WADA and pharmacological aids. For pathways, the two Talent Development decks ask about Talent ID, the UK amateur sport structure and problems with early programmes.

Analysis and quizzes

For performance analysis itself, look at the Performance analysis flashcards and the mind map Methods of Gathering Data. There are also student project maps, such as the analysis of a badminton athlete. Two quizzes, Performance Enhancement and age quiz, let you check what has stuck. Use them after the maps: note what you missed, then go back to that branch.

Teachers can set a map as a starting point for a lesson. Whatever your route, pick one question from the list and work through it.

Frequently asked questions
