Notational analysis is used by coaches and sport scientists to gather objective data on the performance of athletes. Tactics, technique, individual athlete movement, and work-rate can all be analyzed enabling coaches and athletes to learn more about performance and gain a competitive advantage.
Systems for notational analysis are becoming increasingly sophisticated, reflecting the demands of coaches and scientists as well as improvements in technology. This second edition is updated with information about the new technology and a review of contemporary theory and research in notational analysis and sports modeling. There's also practical guidance for constructing notational systems for any sport, and using data to enhance training and coaching.
