Sports performance is a concept linked to the achievements that athletes achieve or can achieve. To increase sporting performance, athletes must be able to exploit their resources to the fullest .
It should be noted that performance is a notion that refers to the relationship between the means used to achieve something and the result that is finally obtained. The benefit or benefit that someone or something offers is also called performance.
Sports , for its part, is that associated with sport (a game, a hobby or a competition that involves a certain physical activity and that is developed according to certain rules).
What are high performance sports centers?
High performance sports centers seek to enhance the different abilities of athletes. This involves the development of certain training routines to perfect athletic condition , technique , etc.
Although physical condition and technique are essential aspects of sports performance, there are also other factors that affect it, such as psychology and tactical ability . An elite athlete, in this way, works together with physical trainers, technical directors and psychologists, among other professionals.
Teamwork
The person's own qualities, their health, their morphological factors or even their neuromuscular coordination also influence their sporting performance. But it must be emphasized that athletes who play as a team must add to all these factors others that can also significantly influence their performance.
Specifically, those who practice a discipline that is played in a group may see their performance harmed by collective factors such as a bad atmosphere among teammates, the public that comes to watch training sessions and matches, institutional elements, the actions and decisions made by the technical team, the unhealthy competitiveness between the players, poor interpersonal relations between the technical and sporting group...
Example of sports performance
We can see an example of sporting performance when analyzing what happened in February 2016 with the Real Madrid football team, which at that time was eliminated from the Copa del Rey and had already lost practically all of its chances of winning the League. At that stage, the team did not shine in the game and did not achieve optimal results.
Given all this, it was blamed that the players did not have a good sporting performance because they were suffering from many injuries, they were unmotivated, there was no team feeling, there was no commitment from some of them, they had changed coaches, the board was not helping to promote the club and the fans were very upset with the attitudes of the players and president.
The incidence of external circumstances
There are also external circumstances that modify sports performance.
A tennis player who trains with a broken racket and balls that have been used for years will not have the necessary equipment to enhance his or her sporting performance. In a similar sense, a runner who must train outdoors with temperatures of 5 degrees below zero may have their athletic performance affected by the weather .
