A novel approach to assessing validity in sports performance research integrating expert practitioner opinion into the statistical analysis
A small presentation of my first published PhD study. I could start by pointing out the practical importance of max sprinting speed, but the 10 slides below will not be enough! I think we can all agree that in modern football it can be defining of the outcome of a game.
This is my first attempt to integrate expert opinion into the statistical framework for determining validity in a sports performance setting. We believe that while assessing validity against practitioner insight, as opposed to standardised thresholds, may be more time consuming, however it is relatively straight-forward to perform and enhances the external validity of findings.
