types of technology used to improve analysis

- slow motion
Technology is developed in sport to:
improve fitness = improved decision making
improve performance = supports rehab
= analysis of performance
= safety + equipment
= giving us performance indicators (e.g. fitbit)
positives of decision making technology
- prevents wrong decision appeals
- helps assistants / officials
- better decisions on infringements
- ensure game is fair
- waiting can create an atmosphere
- improved spectator experience
- reduce crow violence / hooliganism
- right teams win
positives of rehabilitation technology
- players recover more quickly from injury / training
- better overall performance
- see favourite player more often - draws crowds in
positives of safety technology
- improved design of equipment and clothing
- e.g. longer careers as reduction in injury
positives of performance technology
- equipment alterations / advancements
- e.g. prosthetics - springboard effect, run faster + better understanding of biomechanics enable marginal gains / diet - manipulate optimum nutrition HR training zones + intensities = optimum performance
positives of analysis technology
- diet - manipulate optimum nutrition HR training zones + intensities = optimum performance
- analyse performance weakness (of you and opponents)
- copy opponents strengths / tactics
- better understanding of performance
- coach feedback quality is better
negatives of decision making technology
- slows down game
- officials become over reliant on tech
- not all sports can afford it
- removes element if ‘discussion’
negatives of rehabilitation technology
- very specialist
- very expensive
negatives of safety technology
- expensive
