Abstract

There is disclosed a computer implemented method of determining athletic aptitude, The method may comprise: (a) determining a plurality of metrics in relation to a sportsperson; (b) entering the plurality of metrics into a database; (c) forming a profile of the sportsperson comprising the plurality of metrics; and, (d) comparing the sportsperson profile with a reference profile to provide a sportsperson comparison output, wherein the sportsperson comparison output is depicted on a graphic user interface interconnected to the database.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method of determining athletic aptitude, comprising:

(a) determining a plurality of metrics in relation to a sportsperson;

(b) entering the plurality of metrics into a database;

(c) forming a profile of the sportsperson comprising the plurality of metrics; and

(d) comparing the sportsperson profile with a reference profile to provide a sportsperson comparison output,

wherein the sportsperson comparison output is depicted on a graphic user interface interconnected to the database.

2. The computer implemented method according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of metrics relates to a team sport and the reference profile relates to a position or a sub-set of positions in the team sport.

3. The computer implemented method according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of metrics includes two or more of:

(a) Vertical Jump;

(b) Running Vertical Jump;

(c) Agility Run;

(d) 20 metre Sprint;

(e) Repeat Sprint;

(f) Shuttle Run/Beep Test;

(g) 3 kilometre Time Trial (running);

(h) Kicking Efficiency;

(i) Clean Hands;

(j) Goal Kicking Test.

4. The computer implemented method according to claim 3, wherein the plurality of metrics relates to Australian rules football.

5. The computer implemented method according to claim 1, further comprising forming the reference profile from a previously determined set of metrics in relation to the sportsperson.

6. The computer implemented method according to claim 1, further comprising forming the reference profile from another sportsperson profile included in the database.

7. The computer implemented method according to claim 1, further comprising forming the reference profile from a set of metrics taken from two or more other sportsperson profiles included in the database.

8. The computer implemented method according to claim 7, wherein the reference profile is formed in real-time as the metrics are received over a network by the database and the other sportsperson profile(s) are formed.

9. The computer implemented method according to claim 1, further comprising forming the reference profile from a set of pre-determined metrics forming a virtual best sportsperson.

10. The computer implemented method according to claim 1, wherein the reference profile further comprises one or more sportsperson profile parameter(s).

11. The computer implemented method according to claim 10, wherein one of the sportsperson profile parameter(s) is age, weight or height.

12. The computer implemented method according to claim 10, wherein one of the sportsperson profile parameter(s) is a particular sport.

13. The computer implemented method according to claim 12, wherein a further sportsperson profile parameter is a position or sub-set of positions played in the particular sport.

14. The computer implemented method according to claim 12, wherein the particular sport is Australian rules football or a rugby code.

15. The computer implemented method according to claim 10, wherein one of the sportsperson profile parameter(s) is a team of the sportsperson in the sportsperson profile.

16. The computer implemented method according to claim 10, wherein a user can select one or more sportsperson profile parameters via the graphic user interface and a reference determinator determines the reference profile to be compared to the sportsperson profile.

17. The computer implemented method according to claim 16, wherein the reference determinator determines the reference profile to be from another sportsperson profile included in the database matched to the selected one or more player profile parameters.

18. The computer implemented method according to claim 16, wherein the reference determinator determines the reference profile to be formed from a set of metrics taken from two or more other sportsperson profiles included in the database matched to the selected one or more player profile parameters.
