“…This research is the first step towards an automated tool for the determination of the onfield position of players of both teams in AF. This information will allow sport professionals to better understand tactical behaviour and interactions of a team or individual [5,6] and support decision-making pertaining to performance and injury risk [4].…”

The ability to overcome an opposition in team sports is reliant upon an understanding of the tactical behaviour of the opposing team members. Recent research is limited to a performance analysts’ own playing team members, as the required opposing team athletes’ geolocation (GPS) data are unavailable. However, in professional Australian rules Football (AF), animations of athlete GPS data from all teams are commercially available. The purpose of this technical study was to obtain the on-field location of AF athletes from animations of the 2019 Australian Football League season to enable the examination of the tactical behaviour of any team. The pre-trained object detection model YOLOv4 was fine-tuned to detect players, and a custom convolutional neural network was trained to track numbers in the animations. The object detection and the athlete tracking achieved an accuracy of 0.94 and 0.98, respectively. Subsequent scaling and translation coefficients were determined through solving an optimisation problem to transform the pixel coordinate positions of a tracked player number to field-relative Cartesian coordinates. The derived equations achieved an average Euclidean distance from the athletes’ raw GPS data of 2.63 m. The proposed athlete detection and tracking approach is a novel methodology to obtain the on-field positions of AF athletes in the absence of direct measures, which may be used for the analysis of opposition collective team behaviour and in the development of interactive play sketching AF tools.

“…Tactics is a branch that needs further study, since technology can now provide better views supporting a better understanding of the implications of players' actions. Given the complexity of team sports performance, understanding a team's tactical behavior and interactions (i.e., player positioning and passing) is critical to understanding individual game activity requirements [1].…”

Introduction This study measured the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) with Screen-Based Simulation (SBS) on undergraduate football tactical decision-making, tactical skills, and student engagement. The Screen-Based Simulation showed tactical scenarios in real games to learners, promoting the identification and analysis of tactical problems in learning. Problem-Based Learning enabled learners to get a deeper understanding of the tactical problems and discuss them effectively. Materials and Methods Two simulation tools were used in this study. The first one, ‘football match basic offensive and defensive tactical simulation experiment platform,’ is scaffolding in football tactics teaching. Students could use the simulation platform to find tactical problems and learn tactics. The second one, TacticUP, is a screen-based simulation tool to test football tactical decision-making. We used second-year students majoring in physical education at a Chinese university. Seventy-nine students were divided into an experimental group using PBL-SBS and a group taught traditionally. Before the experiment, the tactical decision-making of both groups was assessed in a pretest, and at the end of the six-week experiment, the students were tested again. They also completed a questionnaire on tactical skills and student engagement. Results There was no significant difference between the pretest scores on tactical decision-making between the two groups (independent-sample t-test, sig = 0.997 > 0.05). However, after the experiment, significantly better improvement was observed in tactical decision-making in the experimental group. The pretest mean score (59) was significantly lower than the post-test one (67) on a scale of 100 (paired sample t-test, sig <0.01). ANOVA showed that the experimental group performed better in all aspects, namely tactical decision-making, tactical skill, and student engagement, than the traditional group (Sig values were all less than 0.01). Conclusion Compared with traditional teaching, PPL-SBS students performed better in tactical decision-making, tactical skills, and student engagement than students in the traditional teaching group.

“…Research by [31] emphasizes that a profound comprehension of tactics significantly influences match outcomes, enhancing player performance. Badminton's tactical landscape has transformed from a defensive approach, with the Badminton World Federation's regulations introducing faster shuttlecocks, resulting in a quicker and more aggressive game.…”

The achievement of badminton athletes at the international level is a complex result of various factors involving physical, technical, tactical, and psychological aspects, as well as environmental support. This study used a systematic review approach to understand the key factors that contribute to badminton athlete achievement. The purpose of this study was to detail and analyze the existing literature to identify the key factors that are significant in improving the performance of badminton athletes at the international level. The selection of articles was done through a thorough search in several significant databases, with strict inclusion criteria to ensure the relevance and quality of the research. Two independent researchers conducted the article selection process to minimize bias. Once the articles were selected, data analysis was undertaken to describe and categorize the key factors identified. The results of this systematic review revealed that physical factors such as general physical condition, strength, explosive power, flexibility, and speed significantly impact badminton athletes' performance. In addition, technical and tactical aspects, such as basic techniques, game tactics, and doubles, also play a crucial role. Psychological characteristics, including motivation, stress management, concentration, and social support, are also factors that cannot be ignored in achieving optimal performance. By detailing these key factors, this study provides an in-depth insight into the complexity of the determinants of badminton athletes' performance at the international level. The implications of these findings provide a basis for coaches and researchers to develop more effective and focused training strategies and stimulate further research to understand the interactions between these factors deeply. Thus, the results of this systematic review can make an essential contribution to the development of the world of training and coaching badminton athletes.
