Abstract

Human Movement and Sports Science

This article details the processes which the Australian wheelchair rugby (Steelers) are developing for game performance analysis. In conjunction with RMIT and the Australian Institute of Sport, the Steelers are building the most in depth and detailed game analysis system ever used in the sport. This includes live statistical and video capture as well as post-game sweeps in an effort to create new and insightful metrics for measuring performance in wheelchair rugby. Techniques include qualitative and quantitative statistical comparisons, regression and spatial analysis. Through a combination of technologies (including Sportscode and AIS tracking software), every facet of a game is being scrutinised and analysed in great detail. The processes take inspiration from sports that lead the way in performance analysis such as NBA basketball and football (soccer).
