Monitoring Data Integrity and GPS Flashcards
What is data integrity?
Maintaining and ensuring the accuracy and consistency of stored data over its entire lifetime.
What is data integrity using sport analytics?
Refers to the validity of data (its relevance/meaningfulness)
How can data integrity be compromised?
Human error when data is entered
Errors occurring when data is transmitted from one computer to another
Software bugs or viruses
Hardware malfunctions such as disk crashes
How can you minimise threatens to data integrity?
Regularly back-up data
Controlling access to data and protecting against malicious intent via security mechanisms.
Designing interferences which prevent the input of invalid data; taking care when entering data.
Using error detection and correction software when transmitting data
Not leaving a computer unattended for anyone to access.
What is software?
Computer software is any set of machine-readable instructions which directs a computers processor to perform specific operations.
What is hardware?
Computer hardware is the physical component of computers.
What is GPS?
Global Positioning System: a space based navigation system that provides location and time information.
Why is GPS good?
Vast amounts of information immediately.
Can track speed, distance and direction of individuals being monitored.
Help improve performance via monitoring success rates
Measure impact of G forces.
Helps make objective decisions about possible replacements, which can decrease risk on injury as GPS can help gauge a performers fatigue level.
Help with recovering from injury
What does GPS monitor?
Speed Distance Direction Heart rate Recovery time Amount of dynamic acceleration
Why is GPS used?
Makes better use of training time/ensures training meets game demands.
Improves the tactical analysis undertaken at a club
Helps a coach compare player performance an potentially ‘pick the best players’ for the team.
Helps to get injured players successfully through rehab at a faster rate.
