Notational analysis

Notational analysis is a systematic method used to observe and record physical activities, especially in sports or movement-based contexts. It involves breaking down actions into specific, measurable components, such as movement types, timings, and strategies, often using symbols or codes. This detailed recording helps coaches and analysts evaluate performance, identify strengths and weaknesses, and develop training plans. Essentially, it's like creating a detailed map of how an activity unfolds, providing insights to improve technique, decision-making, and overall effectiveness.
