Sport analysis with Python
summary
Dataset contains player x y positions and device id sampled at 20 millisecond timestamps and yields about ≈600,000 records for a ~46 minute match. Python code computes per-device match time, distance, per-second velocity, and extracts turning points via path‑simplification and angle thresholds; results show total per‑player distance under a kilometer and peak speeds of velocity up to 9.7 m/s. Outputs export to Tableau for visualization showing heatmaps, runs, and substitutions.
