A PERFORMANCE OF THE MALAYSIA RUGBY SEVENS TEAM BASED ON SELECTED PERFORMANCE INDICATORS ON A VARIOUS ASIA-LEVEL RUGBY SEVENS TOURNAMENT FROM 2018
Keywords:
Performance Analysis, Performance Indicators, Notational Analysis, Men’s rugby sevensAbstract
Identification of performance indicators related to the status of the game (winning and losing)
is needed for a tactical approach especially in improving the Malaysia Men’s Rugby Seven
team. This study aims to characterize team performance indicators based on the game status
of Malaysia men’s rugby sevens teams. A total of 16 matches (winning, n=8, losing, n=8) for
the national team from various Asia-level tournaments from years 2018 to 2020 were collected
using Sportscode performance analysis software and a notational analysis form. The
performance indicators variables are extracted from the excel spreadsheet using the visual
basic application of Microsoft excel before being exported to SPSS version 26 with the
significant value is set at p<0.05. Based on the analysis, there is no significant difference in
the winning performance and losing performance of the Malaysia Men’s Rugby Sevens Team.
The finding from this research can be utilized by the coaches and practitioners in improving
the rugby sevens team performance.
