Large data Change professional sport

The movie "Penalty Gold" tells us that data scientists can solve the problem that the team bosses can't solve with money: Build a Champions League. "It's not surprising," said Gary King, director of the Harvard Institute of Quantitative Social Sciences, "If you summarize the characteristics of the industries that data analysis can make a big difference, you'll find that the professional sports industry has the basics, This is why data analysis plays such an important role in professional sports. "The characteristics of professional sports in this paper are quantitative, while the large data is to find a solution through quantitative data comparison." This is particularly important for the world's first sports football, first of all, to say that Ma Yun to the aggravating in the super.

Good league.

Big data is the ability to help raise a league level. In 2004, the establishment of the super, just imitate the Premier League to get a name, but the level is not good, but the difference in where to see from what aspects of ascension, it seems that there is no clear direction. When the direction of uncertainty, there will be a joke on the inevitable, we in the pursuit of football style, once put forward a false "European Latin faction", and even put forward to exercise "psoas", and the Big Data era is very different.

Previously, the statistics on football only corner, free kicks, red cards and shooting times, the Big Data era, the level of the league has a lot of intuitive parameters, such as running distance, effective game time, moving track, control ball time, passing times and so on. To run distance, effective match time to do a comparison can be a high, 2010 FIFA statistics, professional football players running distance averaged 10000 meters, the super player is about 7000 meters; effective game time, 2011 years in the actual effective time of the field is 49 minutes 03 seconds, The South Korean league is 56 minutes 09 seconds, the UEFA Champions League matches the effective time is 62 minutes 39 seconds.

From the point of view of large data, the average running distance between 2012 and 2013 is more than million meters, effective time, 2012 years more than 50 minutes, 2014 target is 60 minutes, the level of the super has indeed improved, Or there will be no 18,000 people live audience, at least in Asia first, the world's tenth.

The level of a league, not only reflected in the competitive level, but also reflected in the media, the fans of the service, from this aspect to see the big data on the already highly professional NBA help. NBA official site before the internal statistical tools, only some authorized media can use to do some advanced in-depth data analysis, 2012, the NBA and data analysis Solutions company, the NBA from scoring, attack, defense, ball and so on several major categories of statistics for up to 90 technical indicators, Data companies are helping to deal with 4500 trillion of the NBA's split statistics.

So by the time of Christmas 2013, the NBA could quickly tell a fan how many times his favorite team appeared in the Christmas game since 1947, when the NBA Christmas special program began. Commentators often say "Kobe Bryant and O ' Neill scored more than 55 points in the third quarter, the Lakers did not lose" and so on, while saying that one side may thank the big data.

Tired training

There should be no doubt that the level of the league is rooted in daily training. But all this is not in large data, training is more from the spiritual level to request, such as "Women's volleyball Spirit" "Three from a big" (from difficult, strict, from the actual combat, large amount of exercise), this slogan to mention but concrete how to do but can not do.

The 12-minute body test, which was popular in China, was previously said to improve the physical fitness of athletes, and in the end the FA officials admitted that the anaerobic endurance test was a mental strength.

It is the lack of data, especially the guidance of large data, that will only lead to a spiritual level. Now the application of large data in the training of examples, in the developed countries have a lot of examples, and the two-year Super team is also focused on training the use of large data, Guangzhou Evergrande, Shandong Luneng, Jiangsu days and so on.

Sina Sports is so introduced, Shandong Luneng adopted the GPSports system:

The High-tech system records, analyzes and monitors the players ' heart rate, speed, distance, acceleration and deceleration in their training, and monitors whether the training of the players meets or exceeds the corresponding targets, and also prevents injuries in the training of the players. Through the scientific training method, the team members ' training enhances and prevents the injury to have the very big effect.

I do not know what was called "Asia's first forward" Haidong, the FA body test households, many times faced with him not to get the induction card, now understand this based on large data training methods will be how to feel?

The club, which is generally the first to use the equipment this year, may not yet have the benefit of big data, and the Premiership team Everton and England's main Wayne Rooney have a say in this respect, and they are evaluating the role of Big data:

We use GPS and heart rate gauges to monitor the status of each player. From a physical standpoint, the most significant data is the number of sprints, sprint distances, and the number of high-intensity movements each player puts in. We monitor this whole season to see if a player is in a state of fatigue and how much time he needs to rest.

Fast speed skating

After the group sports football, and then to see more emphasis on individual speed skating, although it is not so professional, but this more emphasis on personal skills of the movement, large data for its role is greater.

In 2010, 4 years ago, the Vancouver Winter Olympics, the first 4 competitions, the South Korean speed skating athletes to obtain 2 Gold 1 silver outstanding performance, to know this is the "short track speed skating Country" in the Vancouver Avenue of the country achieved, the secret?

After that, people from the data analysis, found that the South Korean team on the turn, faster than other countries. Through the analysis of this large data, combined with slow lenses, people discovered the advanced technology of the Korean team: in cornering, through the body key heart transfer, step point of conversion, to achieve a no deceleration effect, and even can accelerate.

This is by virtue of this advanced technology, a time in Vancouver, the field of a "Korean flow."

Large numbers have already largely affected the level of professional sports, on the other hand, for professional sports, different sports for large data have different application needs, for example, football and basketball encountered large data problems are not the same, groups and individual movements will be very different. The complexity of mass data processing challenges the computing power of data centers, and Intel is playing an irreplaceable role in professional sports by using its long-term accumulation in computing, from supporting computing chip products to implementing analytical solutions. A good coach is hard to find, but it can be popularized and borrowed from the multidimensional data that have been calculated and processed. Large data changes in professional sports and the new commercial value of professional sports is not a distant thing.

Of course the big numbers have their limits, and Everton boss Martinez and his scouts, and Brown, agree that it's absurd to think that "it's just the data to buy a player", said Bolton's analyst research director Brian F. Plesdich even cites a counter example: Since their goalkeeper began to study each other's penalty-taker data, his penalty-kick efficiency has decreased, with only 9% success rates in the past two seasons.

The combination of professional sports and large data, it does have a great impact on professional sports, but also came up with a lot of useful conclusions, but through large data to thoroughly affect the results of the game, the current is not very likely, sports, the greatest charm is precisely the next second not fully predicted.
