运动员性能剖析法研究——从“叶诗文事件”谈起

Research on Performance Profiling of Athlete——Starting from the Controversy about YE Shi-wen

2012年伦敦奥运会上,我国运动员叶诗文在混合泳400m项目上打破世界纪录,以Nature为代表的知名学术刊物及西方媒体质疑叶诗文成绩的有效性,引起了世界范围内(特别是华人世界)的广泛争议。为了更为客观地评价西方国家的质疑和验证叶诗文成绩的有效性,对Nature相关文章中使用的运动员性能剖析法进行了尝试性研究。首先,研究了性能剖析法在提高运动员运动成绩的训练中的作用;其次,探讨了此方法在反兴奋剂中的应用;最后,利用该方法对多位相关知名运动员进行剖析,发现Nature的相关文章虽不乏理性成分,但也有其明显不足之处:证据偏颇。

Chinese swimmer YE Shi-wen broke the world record in the women＇s 400-metre in- dividual medley （400 m） in the 2012 London Olympics. As a representative of the well-known academic journals and the Western media, Nature claimed that YE＇s performance was anoma- lous, which resulted in a worldwide （especially in the Chinese worldwide） controversy. Nature employed the performance profiling of athlete to prove their viewpoints. To obtain a more ob- jective evaluation of the questions from the Western countries and to verify the authentication of YE＇s performance, this paper tries to conduct research on performance profiling. The study first discusses the method of performance profiling for athletes, which is often used in interna- tional sports. Secondly, the application of performance profiling in terms of anti-doping is pres- ented detailed. Finally, performance profiling is implemented on many well-known athletes and a deep analysis is carried out as well. Our study finds that notwithstanding Nature offered its rationality- the rightness of arguments, it also obviously showed its limitations - the bias of evidences.
