Interpreting and Implementing the Long Term Athlete Development Model: English Swimming Coaches’ Views on the (Swimming) LTAD in Practice
The LTAD (Long Term Athlete Development) model has come to represent a sports-wide set of principles that significantly influences national sports policy in England. However, little is known about its impact ‘on the ground.’ This study is concerned with how national sporting bodies have adapted the model to their specific requirements and how local interpretation and implementation of this is operationalized and delivered. Interpretation and implementation of the LTAD model used in English swimming was investigated through interviews with six elite and five non-elite swimming coaches in the north of England. While there were concerns with aspects of the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) regulations governing competition for age-group swimmers, the major concern expressed by participants was with over-emphasizing volumes of training, leading to the neglect of technique
Error estimates for interpolation of rough data using the scattered shifts of a radial basis function
The error between appropriately smooth functions and their radial basis
function interpolants, as the interpolation points fill out a bounded domain in
R^d, is a well studied artifact. In all of these cases, the analysis takes
place in a natural function space dictated by the choice of radial basis
function -- the native space. The native space contains functions possessing a
certain amount of smoothness. This paper establishes error estimates when the
function being interpolated is conspicuously rough.Comment: 12 page
