Mandatory Knowledge Glossary

DATA COLLECTION

Where possible a combination of quantitative, objective data, with some qualitative/subjective information provides a good starting point for planning performance

development. This is because it gives a wide, detailed picture of the whole performance/factor.

Qualitative Thoughts and feeling,

observations. (Focus group questions,

video self reflection etc)

Quantitative Precise management, rigid

controls and statistical analysis.

(Schedules and recognised tests)

SubjectiveOpinions and

interpretations

ObjectiveTests that involve

unbiased assessments. Uses facts and figures, backed up with data.

It needs to be consistent with your "normal" situation so you can re-test and compare.Dependable and that it will give the same outcome every time.Many factors can impact reliability such as mental state, amount of sleep prior to test, time of day, energy levels, test environment , people present, athletes prior experience etc

Reliability

A test is valid if it measures what it claims to measure. For example an illinois agility test only tests agility.Validity is impacted by the Subjective, objective nature of data collection, lack of honesty, equipment,different people, different players, players not prepped beforehand etc.

Validity

Suitable or right for a particular situation or purpose.Individualised to look specifically at youWhy have you chosen this method?
