Abstract

PurposeThis article presents a novel case study that analyzes the applicability of DoE in the curling sport in order to improve their own performance and the performance of its athletes. Specifically, this study analyzes the most important factors to increase accuracy and precision in the draw game with curlers' opinions. It was decided to use the “Last Stone Draw (LSD)’ as an appropriate play situation.Design/methodology/approachSpecifically, this study analyzes most important factors to increase accuracy and precision in the draw game with curlers opinions from the German Curling association. Three research techniques were used in this study: case study, interviews and a well-designed experiment. The analysis through the use of DoE includes a measurement system analysis, an initial variance test between two players, a screening and a characterization experiment.FindingsThe results obtained from DoE suggest that the factors routine, stress, release, balance, and the previous play situation have a substantial impact on the score of the player's draw game. However, no factor has a statistically significant impact on the average distance to the center of the target. Moreover, the DoE analysis also concludes that the accuracy and precision of the player's performance is not affected equally by all analyzed factors, but they turn into highly significant when examining their relationship to the other factors.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study can be beneficial to other sports events in improving the performance. Moreover, DoE has proved to be an invaluable tool for many people in the German Curling Association in understanding the factors which influence the curlers performance and also factors which do not affect the curlers performance.Originality/valueThis research attempts to contribute to the existing sports management literature by identifying a way in which DoE can be an effective tool in non-manufacturing settings for identification of most important factors which influence the curling performance.
运用实验设计优化冰壶运动队的运动水平
目的本文提出了一个新的案例研究,分析了DoE在冰壶运动中的适用性,以提高他们自己和运动员的成绩。具体而言,本研究分析了在抽签比赛中提高准确性和准确性的最重要因素。决定使用“最后的石头画”“作为一种合适的游戏环境。设计/方法/方法具体而言,本研究根据德国冰壶协会的冰壶专家意见,分析了提高抽签准确性和准确性的最重要因素。本研究采用了三种研究方法:案例研究、访谈和精心设计的实验。通过使用DoE进行的分析包括测量系统分析、两名参与者之间的初始方差测试、筛选和表征实验。结果从DoE获得的结果表明,常规、压力、释放、平衡和之前的比赛情况对球员平局的得分有很大影响。然而,没有任何因素对到目标中心的平均距离有统计学上的显著影响。此外,DoE的分析还得出结论,球员表现的准确性和准确性并没有受到所有分析因素的同等影响,但在检查其与其他因素的关系时,它们会变得非常显著。实际意义本研究的发现对其他体育项目在提高成绩方面具有借鉴意义。此外,DoE已被证明是德国冰壶协会许多人了解影响冰壶性能的因素以及不影响冰壶表现的因素的宝贵工具。独创性/价值本研究试图通过确定DoE在非制造环境中成为有效工具的方式,为现有的体育管理文献做出贡献,以确定影响冰壶性能的最重要因素。

期刊介绍: Commitment to quality is essential if companies are to succeed in a commercial environment which will be virtually unrecognizable in less than a decade. Changing attitudes, changing perspectives and changing priorities will revolutionise the structure and philosophy of future business practice - and TQM will be at the heart of that metamorphosis. All aspects of preparing for, developing, introducing, managing and evaluating TQM initiatives.
