fitness within the game of football
• Investigate whether the data gathered is• Accurate• Reliable• Valid
• Consider how we could improve the data gathering process
Lesson 3 – Fitness Assessment
Fitness assessment in relation to your personal performance
WHEN WE DISCUSS GATHERING DATA
Or
YOU ANSWER ON DATA GATHERING
IT’S ALWAYS IN RELATION TO YOUR OWN PERFORMANCE
Fitness assessment in relation to your personal performance
• While participating in an activity it is possible to gather information about your fitness level.
• The methods that are used have to be carried out as the activity takes place.
• It is important that these methods do not influence or distract the performer or alter the activity in order to make the data as accurate and reliable as possible.
• Gathering data within the activity provides general information on a performers fitness level.
• It begins to highlight general strengths and weaknesses which can then be analysed in a more specific/focussed way, normally out-with the activity through standardised tests.
Fitness assessment in relation to your personal performance
Question 1: How did we assess our fitness level within the game of football last week?
Think…Did everyone participate?What did those who didn’t participate do?What did they complete?
Criteria Yes No
Was data gathered within the activity
Did method used influence performer
Did method used alter the game
Was the game realistic i.e. 90 minutes, 45 minute half
Was the game competitive, challenging but, fair
Is the data gathered consistent across observation schedules
Can the test be repeated
Is the data easy to interpret in terms of how the performers fitness changed throughout the game
Does the data provide a permanent record which could be referenced a later date
How we could improve the data gathering process
Question 3: As a group consider and make a list of what steps could have been taken to ensure the data gathered could be considered as accurate, reliable and valid.

Why the data gathered can be considered to be accurate, reliable and valid
Criteria Yes No
Was data gathered within the activity
Did method used influence performer
Did method used alter the game
Was the game realistic i.e. 90 minutes, 45 minute half
Was the game competitive, challenging but, fair
Is the data gathered accurate, consistent over observation schedules
Can the test be repeated
Is the data easy to interpret in terms of how the performers fitness changed throughout the game
Does the data provide a permanent record which could be referenced a later date
Does the data identify GENERAL strengths & weaknesses
Method of data collection Brief description of method WHY appropriate
Video recording Performer video recorded during a performance
Slow motion, paused, replay,
Accurate and detailedVisual evidence
Permanent record
Recorded during game
Doesn’t alter game
Didn’t alter performer
Observation Schedule
Time related observation schedule used. Completed using tally marks to assess how fitness altered over a game. Fitness assessed in 5 minute intervals focussing on walking, jogging, mid pace runs and sprints
Completed using video recording to ensure accurate date
Easy to complete
Easy to interpret, easily identify strengths & weaknesses
Fitness pattern easily identifiable
Focusses on movements from activity
Permanent record
Compared to later data to retest
