The Relationship between Pass Completion Percentage and Perceived Player Workload in NCAA Division I Women's Soccer

Passingham, Alexa L 01 December 2015 (has links)
In an attempt to demonstrate the interconnecting nature of the pillars of sport (Hacker, 2000) this thesis explores the relationship between physical, psychological and technical variables. Five National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Women’s Soccer players were analyzed in four conference matches. The athlete's rate of perceived exertion (RPE) values were correlated to pass completion percentages (PC%) to investigate the potential effect that psychological satisfaction or dissatisfaction of technical performance has on perceived exertion ratings. PlayerLoadTM (PL) values, gathered through the utilization of a Catapult Minimax S4 GPS device (miniMax-10 Hz, Catapult Innovations, Melbourne, Australia), were used as a measure of actual workload in order to determine the accuracy of perceived exertion ratings. Results exhibited a trivial correlation (r = 0.028) and large variability (R2 = 0.00077) between RPE and PC% in comparison to PL and PC% (r = 0.50; R2 = 0.2502). The results indicate that an athlete's PC% does not correspond to how physically demanding they perceived a match to be. However, it is possible that performance variables may influence the RPE ratings a player provides.

Coaching the Track Events

Ecker, Thomas 01 July 1963 (has links)
But in track and field the athlete's point of view seems to be different from that of a team sport participant. Because of the individuality of his sport, the track man is motivated, primarily, through self-satisfaction - through knowing that he has accomplished something on his own. Track men have little hope for material gain through their sport, yet, paradoxically, they are the most dedicated, self-sacrificing group of athletes in the world.

The Effects of Weight of Projectile & Arm Segment Lengths on the Accuracy of the Overarm Throw

Hickey, Michael 01 May 1972 (has links)
This study was undertaken for the purpose of investigating whether there was (1) a significant relationship between the length of the segments of the throwing arm and the accuracy of the overarm throw, and (2) a significant difference in the accuracy of the overarm throw when the weight of the ball was varied.

An Evaluation of Two Methods of Introducing the Two Hands Snatch for the Purpose of Determining a Preferred Method for Beginners in Weightlifting

McIntosh, James 01 August 1969 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to determine if either of these two methods of snatching is preferable for the beginning weightlifter.

A Comparative Analysis of the Effects of Positive Specific Feedback & Positive General Feedback on the Bowling Scores of College Age Men & Women

Rauschenbach, James 01 July 1989 (has links)
This study was conducted to examine the effects of positive specific feedback and positive general feedback on the bowling scores of subjects enrolled in two beginning bowling classes. Experimental groups were formed from two intact bowling classes, and a group of fifteen volunteers who made up the control group. The PSF group which contained twenty-eight subjects, was provided with positive specific feedback throughout the course of the study. The PGF group which contained thirty-five subjects, was provided with positive general feedback throughout the course of the study. Subjects were administered a pretest at the start of the study which consisted of the average score obtained after completing four games of bowling. Following the pretest, subjects in the PSF and PGF groups received eleven sessions of bowling instruction and twelve sessions of bowling competition. Subjects in the control group received no bowling instruction or practice. At the completion of the study subjects were administered a post-test which consisted of the average score obtain after completing tour games of bowling.

An Analysis of Potential Factors Influencing a Beginner's Choice of Preferred Contest Throws after Seven Weeks of Instruction in the Sport of Judo

Saville, William 01 August 1968 (has links)
There is an apparent cycle in the history and appeal of a particular sport. When this cycle is completed there is a need for re-examination and change to initiate a further cycle. Judo in the Western world would appear to be reaching the end of such a cycle and examination and change is necessary for a variety of historical and cultural reasons to ensure that the sport of Judo embarks on another important cycle.

Effects of Internal Imagery & Experimental State on the Performance of Intercollegiate Smallbore Rifle Shooters

Whitworth, Paul 01 May 1986 (has links)
This study was conducted to examine the effects of internal imagery and experiential state on the performance of intercollegiate smallbore rifle shooters. An interaction between internal imagery and experiential state was hypothesized. Subjects included 43 smallbore rifle shooters from 7 universities stratified into 2 groups. Group 1, composed of 23 shooters, received internal imagery instructions and practice time; group 2 received unrelated instructions and an equal amount of practice time. Following the instructional period, a posttest was administered to each group (the NRA/ISU Style 1/2 course on an indoor 50 foot range) and each shooter completed an experiential state measure. Analysis of Variance with repeated measures was utilized to examine Pretest to Posttest score differences. An Alpha level of .05 was chosen as the measure of significance. Results of this study produced no evidence that internal imagery had a significant effect on shooters' composite performance scores. However, the control group's score was significantly lower than that of the imagery group on posttest prone performance. No significant differences were found in the experiential state scores of those shooters who utilized internal imagery as opposed to those shooters who did not. No significant differences were found between scores of shooters classified into a high experiential state group and those classified into a low experiential state group. No significant interactions were evident between internal imagery and experiential state as measured by posttest composite performance scores.
