1
Q
Purpose of activity analysis
A
- gather sport specific physiological data to form the basis of a more effective and specific training program
- To determine relevant energy systems
- To determine relevant fitness components
- To determine muscle groups utilised within the sport
2
Q
Direct Observation: definition
A
- coaches and trainers observe activities and then making decisions about the game based on what they see
- (such as muscle groups and movement utilised, tactics and team plays)
