Talent identification is a vital process of mapping out athletes with the potentiality to excel in the future sporting
career. To ensure success in this process, appropriate skill test in tandem to the capability of the athlete level is
required to avoid dropout and demotivation of the athletes. A variety of skateboarding tricks are available for testing
and identification of potential skateboarders, however, many of such skills are hard to deliver properly particularly for
amateurs. The present investigation is aimed at identifying the suitable skateboarding tricks that could be used for
mapping out talent in amateur skateboarding. The most common skateboarding tricks that consisted of Ollie, Kickflip,
Shove-it, Nollie and Frontside 180 were identified while an experienced amateur skateboarder executed each skill five
times. A customized ORY skateboard integrated with IMU sensors were used to stream the data in real-time during
the performance of the tricks. The average datasets from the acceleration and angular velocity of the x, y and z-axis
were obtained and a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to study the dimension of the related data tricks as
well as to identify the important trick manoeuvres that could be suitable for the level of the athlete’s performance. The
results revealed that the dataset contained two dimensions based on the Eigenvalue analysis of the PCA whilst Ollie
and Nollie tricks were identified to be the most important tricks due to their higher factor loading (>0.80). It is
therefore postulated that the Ollie and Nollie tricks could be used as a skill related test for the identification of talented
amateur skateboarders. This may be invaluable to coaches and talent scouters in saving time, effort as well as
manpower during the talent identification program in this sport. |
