Notational Analysis of Sport: Systems for Better Coaching and Performance in Sport

by Ian Franks (Editor), Mike Hughes (Editor)

Overview

First published in 1997. The aim of the book is to provide a ready manual on notational analysis. The book is written for the sports scientist, the coach, the athlete, or for anyone who wishes to apply analysis to any performance operation. Although this book is applied directly to sport, notational analysis is a procedure that could be used in any discipline that requires assessment and analysis of performance: nursing, surgical operations, skilled manufacturing processes, unskilled manufacturing processes, haute cuisine, and so on.
To cater for the anticipated spectrum of readership, the book is written to balance the practical approach (giving plenty of examples) with a sound scientific analysis of the subject area. In this way it is hoped that the practitioners of sport, the athletes and coaches, as well as the sports scientists will find the book useful.
