Field hockey is an evolving sport, but it is unclear whether performance analysis techniques are reflective of current best practice. The objective of this review was to identify performance analysis methods used in field hockey, assess their practicality, and provide recommendations on their implementation in the field. A systematic search of the databases SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, Scopus, MEDLINE and PubMed was performed. Key words addressed performance analysis methods and field hockey, with all other disciplines of sport science excluded. A total of 8 articles were identified from the systematic review. Three studies explored patterns of play in relation to goal scoring opportunities, two articles examined penalty corner strategies and three compared specific actions in hockey. The limited performance analysis research in field hockey has focused on game actions in patterns of play. However, greater insights may be gained by analysing hockey using a holistic approach that incorporates spatio-temporal variables and player-opposition interactions. There is an opportunity to employ novel performance analysis techniques in hockey which provide more practical and effective approaches for analysing strategies and tactics.

曲棍球运动是一项不断发展的运动，但尚不清楚性能分析技术是否可以反映当前的最佳实践。这次审查的目的是确定曲棍球比赛中使用的绩效分析方法，评估其实用性，并就其在野外的实施提供建议。对数据库SPORTDiscus，Web of Science，Scopus，MEDLINE和PubMed进行了系统搜索。关键词涉及性能分析方法和曲棍球，但不包括运动科学的所有其他学科。系统评价共鉴定了8篇文章。三项研究探索了与进球机会相关的比赛方式，两篇文章探讨了罚球策略，三项比较了曲棍球的具体动作。曲棍球运动中有限的性能分析研究集中于比赛模式中的游戏动作。但是，通过使用结合了时空变量和玩家对立互动的整体方法来分析曲棍球，可能会获得更多的见解。有机会在曲棍球中使用新颖的性能分析技术，这为分析策略和战术提供了更为实用和有效的方法。
