Technology Flashcards
Give an example of performance analysis equipment
Dartfish i.e biomechanical data such as angle of release,
Users earned more than 72% of the medals at the 2018 Pyeonchang Winter Olympics.
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
Improves tactical awareness
Can help selection of best performing players
Can help injured players get through rehab faster
Examples to technology improving safety of the sport
Helmet sensors
Changes to javelins
F1 Halo devise
Surface of velodromes
Examples of technology in Paralympic sports
Wheelchairs for rugby + basketball
Handcycles
Prosthetics
Example of technology affecting sports performers
Winter Olympics 2018
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
To create a level playing field, esp. if reasons for lack of technology are socioeconomic.
Reasons as to why all athletes SHOULDN’T use the same equipment
The same piece of equipment may not benefit every athlete in the same way so doesn’t quite level the playing field.
Diff. teams use diff. methods of training + equipments so if everyone went to the same then results + standards would be very similar.
Not practical + expensive to give everyone the same technology.
What technology is there for officials in cricket
Decision Review System (DRS) = team is able to ask for review of decision - usually 2 per innings.
Snickometer = graphically analyses sound + video by showing whether a fine noise or ‘snick’ occurs as the ball passes the bat.
Hot spot = used w/ snickometer to verify if/where the ball has made contact
What technology is there for officials in tennis
Hawkeye
Challenge system
Hawkeye
Computer system used to track the trajectory of a ball + display a profile of its statistically most likely path as a moving image.
What technology is there for officials in football
Goal line technology
Video referees + TMOs
Official is able to ask for video assistance to check on a decision.
Rugby, hockey + cricket + now in football w/ VAR
What technology is available to spectators
Slow mo replays
Split screen
3D TV
Hawkeye
Instant replay
Choice of camera angles for those at home
Choice of matches or events
Social media
Useful for public relations + marketing
⬆️ player profile
What does performance analysis aim to do
Capture, analyse + evaluate key components relating to performance + provide concise fb to inform future practise
What are the different aspects of performance analysis
technical analysis
tactical analysis
behavioural analysis
physical analysis
Define technical analysis
Efficiency of movement + aesthetics
Define tactical analysis
Vision, decision-making + strategies
Define behavioural analysis
Observing + assessing social interactions + why performers behave a certain way
Define physical analysis
Collection of data to inform training + competition
What is the purpose of performance analysis
Assess performance + potential
Design training programmes
Set goals + judge athlete’s progress
Talent ID
ID of strengths + weaknesses
Assess recovery after injury
Predict opposition tactics
What are the methods of analysing performance
Biomechanical
Notational
Fitness + Skill analysis
Behavioural analysis
Video analysis
Define biomechanical analysis
Analysing technical execution of skill.
movement analysis = planes, axes, angles, distances, time, forces….
Define notational analysis
Using symbols + data to record info.
Stats, patterns of play, errors + achievement
Computerised products i.e OPTA
Define fitness + skills analysis
Used outside of comp. to gain info on perf.
i.e physical conditioning, technical efficiency
Define video analysis
Provides objective info + can enhance performance analysis.
Can be used in conjunction w/ software such as Dartfish.
Give examples of performance analysis technology
Fitness trackers i.e Fitbit
GPS i.e Garmin
Social media platforms i.e Strava
What are some limitations to performance analysis
For real time analysis its diff. to remember key events.
Research suggests coaches only recall 30-50% of key performance they witness.
Coaches may form biased views so give incorrect guidance
Aspects i.e flair, vision, spatial awareness… are diff. to quantify using performance analysis
Using specific examples explain different ways in which coaches may use GPS tracking systems to analyse the performance of players
To monitor performance stats - physical, technical + tactical i.e distance, intensity + time
To highlight social loafing i.e pitch coverage
Identify potential substitutions / establish fatigue levels of players
To establish diff. activity profiles by position
