Talent identification in soccer using a one-class support vector machine
2019
Abstract Identifying potential future elite athletes is important in many sporting events. The successful identification of potential future elite athletes at an early age would help to provide high-quality coaching and training environments in which to optimize their development. However, a large variety of different skills and qualities are needed to succeed in elite sports, making talent identification generally a complex and multifaceted problem. Due to the rarity of elite athletes, datasets are inherently imbalanced, making classical statistical inference difficult. Therefore, we approach talent identification as an anomaly detection problem. We trained a nonlinear one-class support ve…
Relativ alderseffekt i norsk kretslagsfotball : Eksisterer det en relativ alderseffekt blant selekterte norske kretslagsspillere?
2017
Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap ME517 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of a relative age effect among selected youth players on a regional level in Norwegian soccer and to determine if players born in different quarters of the selectionyear, assess their soccer-related abilities differently. Previuos research has shown that players born early in the selectionyear, has been overrepresented in youth national teams in Europe (Helsen et al., 2005) and talentdevelopment-programs (Carling et al., 2009). A total number of 624 players took part in this study, from 16 out of 18 different regions in Norway and the players were considered the most…
Relative age effect among French swimmers
2022
L'objectif de cette étude était de révéler la présence de l'effet de l'âge relatif parmi les nageurs Français et de proposer une méthode de rééquilibrage afin de mieux apprécier le potentiel de l'athlète en fonction de sa catégorie et de sa discipline. 62 610 nageurs entre 10 et 16 ans sur la discipline du 100m nage libre en bassin de 50m sont considérés pour cette étude. Parmi eux, moins d'un nageur sur cinq entre 13 et 16 ans est né dans le dernier trimestre de l'année. Pour éviter l'abandon ou la perte de vue des nageurs, nous avons mis en place une méthode de rééquilibrage basée sur la performance du nageur, son âge exact au moment de la compétition et le coefficient de régression entre…
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOMEN´S ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS TECHNICAL SKILL, PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE TEST RESULTS AND SUCCESS IN COMPETITIONS IN FINLAND
2019
The aim of this study was to find out the potential of the Minoritest to identify the most likely talented gymnasts to join the national team pre-training group in Finland. The study examined the relationships between gymnasts´ (N=215, age 10–13) Minoritest results (2006–2010) and success in competitions after the Minoritests until the end of 2016. The competition results were also compared between the gymnasts who had participated in the test and a random number (N=180) of gymnasts who had not. According to this study, the majority (92%) of the best gymnasts in competitions had participated in the Minoritest. 39% of the best in competitions were among the top 10 in the Minoritest. The test…
