Unit 19- Assignment 3Using appropriate examples, explain the purpose of, and the resources available for, analysis at two
different levels of sports performance. The different levels of performance could be:
• Foundation (e.g. school children, beginners)
• Participation (e.g. Saturday league player, out-of-school club)
• Performance (e.g. county or national standard)
• Elite (e.g. Olympic/world-class athlete/professional)
Explain the purpose of analysis at each level. For example:
• Talent identification
• Monitoring fitness levels
• Identifying strengths and areas for improvement
• Performance assessment
• Recovery after injury
• Assessment of health status
• Squad selection
• Goal setting
Explain the resources required at each level. For example:
• Equipment
• IT software
• Time
• Facilities
• Resources (human, physical and fiscal)
For this piece of writing I will be focusing on different levels of sport performance for rugby. These
two levels will be participation and elite.
Participation
Recovery after injury
When an athlete gets injured at a casual participation level the athlete will often take a long
period of time to return back to play, there is quite a high chance that they will not return
back to play depending on their age and severity of injury, in comparison to elite level
where we can see mostly all athlete returning from injuries as long as they are under the
age of 40. We tend to see a slower rate of return in lower level sports (especially at casual
participation level) because athlete will not have the opportunity to have immediate free-
health care and if they do get access to this they will often not have any follow up
treatment. If an athlete wants immediate attention, they will often have to pay a lot of
money for this service. A lot of athletes at this level are lacking the time also needed to give
to the recovery process, lots of people lack any time to do an hour physio session every
night. The main issue with recovery post injury at a casual participation level would be little
to no exposure to the correct recovery process.
