9.7 - activity analysis : netball centre example

What is the first step of activity analysis

• Data collection

What types of data were collected in the A-grade netball game example

• GPS data

• Heart rate data

• Movement patterns

• Work-to-rest ratios

• Skill frequency table

How were GPS and heart rate data collected in the netball game example

• Through digital recording stored in electronic devices

How were movement patterns, work-to-rest ratios, and skill frequency data collected

• Using direct observation

What is the purpose of completing an activity analysis

• To gather data that helps in planning a specific and relevant training program

Why do different positions within the same sport require different training programs

• Because each position may demand different fitness components, energy systems, and muscle movements

After collecting and analysing data, what should be the next step

• Use the data to design a specific training program tailored to the athlete's role (e.g., a netball centre)

What does a flow chart in training program design help with

• It shows what factors need to be considered when creating a position-specific training program (covered in Topic 11)

What are the key fitness components for a netball Centre

• Aerobic powe

• Anaerobic capacity

• Speed

• Agility

• Upper body power

• Hand-eye coordination

What is the dominant energy system for a netball Centre

• Aerobic energy system

When is the ATP-CP system used by a netball Centre

• During sprinting and passing efforts

Why is the anaerobic glycolysis system not a major contributor for a netball Centre

• Because recovery opportunities between efforts allow the aerobic and ATP-CP systems to dominate

What are the main upper body muscles used by a netball Centre

• Deltoids

• Pectorals

• Biceps

• Triceps

• Flexors

• Extensors

What are the main lower body muscles used by a netball Centre

• Quadriceps

• Hamstrings

• Gastrocnemius

• Soleus

• Gluteals

What core muscles are important for a netball Centre and why

• Abdominals and obliques, for efficient running and changing direction

What is a suitable aerobic power fitness test for a netball Centre

• Yo-yo test (due to stop-start nature and intensity changes)

What test is best for assessing anaerobic capacity in a netball Centre

• Phosphate recovery test (repeated sprint efforts)

What is a suitable speed test for a netball Centre

• 20-metre sprint test

What are good agility tests for a netball Centre

• Illinois agility test and 5-0-5 agility test

What test assesses upper body power for a netball Centre

• Basketball throw

What training method is best for developing aerobic power in a netball Centre

• Fartlek or long interval training (to mimic changes in intensity and stop-start movement)

What training method is best for developing anaerobic capacity in a netball Centre

• Short interval training (less than 20 metres to replicate effort distance)

What training method is best for speed development in a netball Centre

• Short interval training (less than 20 metres)

What training method is best for agility in a netball Centre

• Short intervals with changes of direction (e.g. shuttle runs)

What training method is best for developing upper body power in a netball Centre

• Upper body plyometrics (e.g. medicine ball slams)
