Data from: Determining spatio-temporal metrics that distinguish play outcomes in field hockey

Listed in Sheffield Hallam University Research Data Archive

Tactical behaviour in field sports can be examined using spatio-temporal metrics, that is, descriptions of player behaviour derived from data of player positions over time.

Description

Methods typically used by sports performance analysts cannot appropriately analyse the many spatio-temporal metrics and their interactions. The interactions between theses descriptions of player behaviour could potentially describe tactical differences in performance.

The aim of this thesis was to determine which spatio-temporal metrics distinguish play outcomes in field hockey. The current work uses methods inspired by genetic analysts to estimate the influence of combinations of spatio-temporal metrics on the outcome of field hockey plays. The key finding of this thesis is that play outcomes in field hockey are distinguished by proximity to the goal and passing execution.
