Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the growing importance of sports science professionals in teams, noting their reliance on group statistical analyses that may not be suitable for smaller samples or individual athletes.
- It examines four statistical methods (model statistic, smallest worthwhile change, coefficient of variation, and standard error of measurement) for assessing performance improvements at the individual level, providing step-by-step guidance for each.
- The research suggests that using a combination of the model statistic and coefficient of variation will effectively detect meaningful training adaptations in athletes, ensuring the results reflect actual performance changes rather than random fluctuations.
