“…Based on the athletes and experts' opinion this test was selected for passing from more than 4 various kinds of common tests and it supports the results of this study (Narizuka et al, 2014). Horton et al (2015) explored the various types of football passing and talked about the available tests including passing accuracy test toward a small goal over 10 m, passing accuracy test toward a circle 90 cm over 15 m, and long passing accuracy test . Hence, this research did not underline the most appropriate test for any football skills (Horton et al, 2015), and due to this gap, the results of this study can help fill that gap.…”

Dawson et al (2004), in an important research conducted in Australia mentioned the significance of various types of football shooting as a significant ability for the football players and Accuracy test of shooting was used into a particular part of the goal, shooting accuracy test on a goal divided in squares 11m , and accuracy test of shooting on specific overlapping circles and, such as the findings of our research, they chose shooting accuracy test on a goal divided in squares 11m as the most appropriate test for shooting in football (Dawson, Hopkinson, Appleby, Stewart, & Roberts, 2004).…”

“…Football is the most popular game in the world, which is why numerous male and female athletes, adults and young , professionals and amateurs participate in this sport (Duke & Crolley, 2014;Giulianotti, 2012). In addition to footballers' technical skills and fitness , physical indicators (Horton, Gudmundsson, Chawla, & Estephan, 2015) and body composition have a significant role in effective performance (Vitale et al, 2016). Today, it is getting more and more famouse so enormous number of people is attracted to play football particularly young people (Chen & Reams, 2013).…”

Background: Basic skills specification and physical characteristics are the most significant factors for Football players. Objective: This research aims to determine the most relevant tests to examine the basic skills and physical characteristics for the football coaches in Karbala. Methods: The participants of this study includes 92 Football player (body weight 68±16 kg (mean±SD), height 172.5±17.5 cm, age 21±3 year ) who were chosen from the 4 clubs in Karbala, Iraq. Methods: To choose the appropriate tests for basic skills and physical characteristics the opinion of the experts was used followed by 2 questionnaires, scored from 1 to 5. The tests were recommended for this study and the questionnaire consisted of seven items. The researcher adapted the questionnaires from previous studies. Results: The findings of questionnaires revealed that vertical jump and dribbling 25 m, sit down and stand up, Nelson reaction, 30 m sprint, passing with wall and Shuttle test are chosen to test the Physical characteristics in football, whereas, accuracy test for shooting, heading the ball, competitor evasion, receiving ball, zigzag dribbling and passing accuracy are chosen to test basic skills in football. Conclusion: The tests which were chosen in this study can be adopted by coaches as a practical way in Karbala and other regions in Iraq and also in other countries. The experts can use the findings of these tests and compare professional athletes and other football players.

“…where, for a fixed radius r, P denotes the fraction of the disk of radius r with center at p that lies within the dominant region of opposing players, d is the distance between p and the ball, D is the maximal distance between p and any point on the playing area, and m is a preset weight. This definition was also used by Horton et al [43]. See Fig.…”

Team-based invasion sports such as football, basketball and hockey are similar in the sense that the players are able to move freely around the playing area; and that player and team performance cannot be fully analysed without considering the movements and interactions of all players as a group. State of the art object tracking systems now produce spatio-temporal traces of player trajectories with high definition and high frequency, and this, in turn, has facilitated a variety of research efforts, across many disciplines, to extract insight from the trajectories. We survey recent research efforts that use spatio-temporal data from team sports as input, and involve non-trivial computation. This article categorises the research efforts in a coherent framework and identifies a number of open research questions.

“…An approach for the interactive determination and analysis of interesting events during a soccer match is proposed by Janetzko et al [44] and extended with an application-specific visualization by Stein et al [46]. Horton et al [20] classify performed passes during a soccer match. Therefore, the quality of passes by means of distance, shot strength, and pressuring of the receiving player is evaluated.…”

Abstract-Analysts in professional team sport regularly perform analysis to gain strategic and tactical insights into player and team behavior. Goals of team sport analysis regularly include identification of weaknesses of opposing teams, or assessing performance and improvement potential of a coached team. Current analysis workflows are typically based on the analysis of team videos. Also, analysts can rely on techniques from Information Visualization, to depict e.g., player or ball trajectories. However, video analysis is typically a time-consuming process, where the analyst needs to memorize and annotate scenes. In contrast, visualization typically relies on an abstract data model, often using abstract visual mappings, and is not directly linked to the observed movement context anymore. We propose a visual analytics system that tightly integrates team sport video recordings with abstract visualization of underlying trajectory data. We apply appropriate computer vision techniques to extract trajectory data from video input. Furthermore, we apply advanced trajectory and movement analysis techniques to derive relevant team sport analytic measures for region, event and player analysis in the case of soccer analysis. Our system seamlessly integrates video and visualization modalities, enabling analysts to draw on the advantages of both analysis forms. Several expert studies conducted with team sport analysts indicate the effectiveness of our integrated approach. Permanent repository link
