Explain GPS + motion tracking software
Can be used in training + comp.
Used to track speed, distance + G forces.
Can also measure HR, pace, recovery time + acceleration.
A coach will be able to tell if a player is fatigued + therefore ⬇️ risk of injury.
What are the benefits to GPS + motion tracking software
Ensures training matches games demands

Are skeleton suits giving athletes too much speed?
Define technology doping
Practise of using sports equipment to gain a competitive adv.
Reasons as to why all athletes SHOULD use the same equipment
