Sistema de monitorização desportiva - Hóquei em Patins, um caso de estudo

Abstract

High competition sport is increasingly demanding a detailed analysis of athletes, as well as all their actions and behaviors, both during training and during games. These reviews allow coaches to check where players can improve their performance and adjust training to that effect. However, sports lack the tools to support players' real-time statistics collection. In roller hockey, this type of solution is still nonexistent. The only solutions that allow you to collect statistics are based on video analysis or, by the more traditional paper method. With these methods, it is only possible to understand collected data after the games, and it is not possible to extract information quickly. This application distinguishes itself by allowing to insert data in real time and extract information simultaneously. Then, the coach can easily correct the team according to the information. The application is thought to be simple, easy and intuitive to use. Since this study is focused on roller hockey, an extremely fast paced game, the more vital becomes the simplicity of data recording and presentation of results, adapting the application to their needs. To make the process easier, large tablets are the right choice for data collection so the application will be fully focused on these devices. This will collect data based on predefined metrics that will track the success / failure of players' actions during the games. Data synchronization in the cloud will allow access to information from any device. With so little work in this area, it is expected that this application will reach different high competition teams and that through the data collected by the application, the coaches can improve their teams. The system may have major developments with a reflection on the development of the modality itself.
