Summary: | This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Tablet based application (TBA) as a medium for
feedback in real time at a half-time interval of a competitive match in improving the performance of
soccer players. StatWatch application was installed on a tablet phone and used as a device for data
collection. Eleven performance analysts were recruited to assist in the data collection such that each
performance analysts covered a particular player during the game. Players Performances were
assessed based on clearing, crossing, dribbling, heading, pursuing the loose ball, shooting, foul and
through pass. Data were collected as the game progressed, and information was transmitted to the
controller of the analysis before being relayed to the chief coach at the half time interval of every
match. Matches of the club for eight weeks were analysed. One-way repeated measure ANOVA was
used to assess the progress of the team in between the first and second halves of the matches played.
The result shows improvement on the performances of the club at the second halves of the eight
matches played (F (1, 14.10) = 8.94, p < .05). A follow-up test demonstrates a significant progress on
the overall team performance from week1 to week 8, p > 0.001. TBA appeared to be a useful medium
for providing feedback at a first half interval of a competitive match to improving the performance of
soccer players during the subsequent period. |
