The aim of the presentation is to analyze the conceptual framework performance analysis is acting in. In some regards the actual problems of performance analysis, like for example recently stated by Mackenzie and Cushion (2013), are due to a missing comprehensive concept. In a first part, some too often neglected areas of performance analysis are pointed out. In the second part, the problem of generating useful information for sports practice is addressed from a theory of science perspective and a model of comprehensive performance analysis (CPA) in the framework of practical diagnostics in sport is developed.
