Quantative analysis – tuck jump
I record the performer doing this skill 10 times. Out of the 10 times I recorded if she did the skill correct. From this I can work out the percentage of times the performer did it correct and I can see the areas she needs to improve. For the tuck jump to be successful I would say at least 5 ticks out of the 7 are needed
From the data above you can see that out of 10 tuck jumps the performer successfully carried out 5 tuck jumps to a suitable standard.
5 x 100 = 50%
10
This means that 50% of the time the performer does tuck jumps she does them successfully. To improve my tuck jump I need to make sure I keep my legs together when recovering from the jump. This will give me better control.
I highlighted stretch as it is the element of the tuck jump that links to my aim. By increasing my stretch I can increase my height and thus improve the quality of performance. Out of 10 tries I only stretched 4 times. This is 40%. I need to improve this if I wish to improve my trampolining technique. I will do this by practising and I will be able to see if I have improved when I do the next quantative analysis.
Quantative analysis – swivel hips.
I used the same technique to carry out this analysis as I did when I recorded the tuck jump. I recorded the performer 10 times performing the skill and out of the 10 times I wrote down if she performed the skill correct. For my swivel hips to be a success I think that 4 ticks out of 6 are needed.
From the data above you can see that out of 10 swivel hips the performer successfully carried out 7 swivel hips to a suitable standard.
7 x 100 = 70%
10
This means that 70% of the times the performer carries out swivel hips successfully. To improve her swivel hips the performer needs to focus on her twist and landing. Sometimes the performer over rotates or under rotates which affects the landing.
Stretch is highlighted so I can evaluate this as it is liked to my aim. Out of 10 swivel hips I stretched 6 times. This is 60%. This shows that I have improved my arm swing.
Evaluation
I think that my project went well. It enabled me to identify weaknesses in my performance in trampolining.
To record the performer I used a video camera. I used this as it enabled me to repeatedly view the skill when ever I needed. Unfortunately something happened to the video tape subsequently I re-filmed it in the space of a week.
The performer did improve over the time I did this project. The area she improved in is her arm swing. This means that she will get more height whilst trampolining. As a result of this her height will increase. This is shown by the results in my quantative analysis. The performer went from using her arms 40% of the time to 60% of the time.
The main area the performer needs to develop is her arm swing. If she uses straight arms before performing the move then she will be able to gain the height with less effort this will there for enable her to perform the moves without difficulty. Another area she could improve is her body tension. The moves she performs are adequate however work needs to be done to tighten her moves up so they look visually sound. This would score her major points if entering a competition.
