Abstract
A computer .sbd. video interactive system is described that enables a trained observer to systematically record and view the behaviour of athletes performing within a team-sport competition. This system is designed to allow the recall of selected video instances from previously recorded athletic behaviours. In order to accomplish this form of analysis, a computerized recording system and a video cassette recording machine were combined using specialized hardware and software. A system for the analysis of field hockey is used to exemplify how the interaction of computers and video recorders can aid in the sport analysis process.
