ABSTRACT
The experimental analysis is very important for coaches to advice the training and performance of the rugby sevens. In this paper, we present a machine learning based experimental analysis for rugby sevens in China National Games. On the one hand, we introduce a performance indicator dataset of the rugby sevens, which consists of 9 performance indicators. On the other hand, we utilize random forest model to evaluate the importance of the performance indicators. The coaches and analysts can use the presented information for further planning the effective set-play and open-play strategies.
