16
Q

What are advantages video motion analysis

A

Can take place immediately at the side of the field or in controlled lab environments
It is useful in individual technique analysis and correcting problems such as angle of release when throwing

17
Q

What is notational match analysis

A

Studies movement pattern, strategy, and tactics in a variety of different sports

18
Q

What is biomechanics in analysis?

A

Used to analyse the sporting impact of body movements. Involves quantitative based study and analysis of sports activities

19
Q

What is measured observation?

A

A form of quantitative analysis, and is used during biomechanics and notational analysis

20
Q

Why use performance analysis?

A

The EIS reports that athletes can only remember 30% of performance correctly - so PA can help us with the other 70% by showing us what actually happened

21
Q

What is a metabolic cart?

A

An electronic medical tool used to measure the bodys metabolism through the amount of heat produced when the body is at rest.
It uses a process called calorimetry to get its measurement.
Uses computer, monitor, and breathing tubes mounted to a cart

22
Q

What is indirect calorimetry?

A

A technique where the headgear from the metabolic cart is attached to a subject while they breathe for a specific amount of time. The subjects inspired/expired gas flows, volumes, and concentrations of O2 and CO2 are all continually measured. These measurements are then translated to a heat equivalent.

23
Q

Give advantages of indirect calorimetry

A

Non-invasive and relatively accurate

24
Q

What is the result from the two figures in indirect calorimetry known as?

A

Resting energy expenditure (REE)

25
Q

What can indirect calorimetry help individuals to do?

A
  • Determine energy requirements and response to nutrition over time
  • Calculate energy expenditure, which allows determination of nutritional requirements
  • In the calculation of their REE, which helps medics determine the amount of food and nutrition needed
26
Q

What are 5 possible difficulties affecting validity or reliability for indirect calorimetry?

A
  • Inaccuracy from air leaks
  • Difficult to use on children
  • Overfeeding or underfeeding may occur based on results
  • Single snapshots are worse than average results
  • Inaccuracies from recording errors
27
Q

Identify 4 different ways in which GPS can help to improve a players performance

A
  1. Make better use of training time to ensure training meets game demands
  2. Improves the tactical analysis undertaken at the club
  3. Helps coach compare players
  4. Helps to get injured players successfully through rehab quicker
28
Q

What does GPS track?

A

Speed, distance, HR, recovery time, pace, acceleration

29
Q

Give an example of a sport that GPS is useful in

A

In high contact sports such as rugby as it can monitor impact in G forces

30
Q

How is GPS useful to coaches?

A

Helps coaches make objective decisions about possible replacements/substitutions

31
Q

How is GPS beneficial for a performance?

A

Decreases risk of injury

32
Q

Give an example of GPS software

A

Strava - access GPS info via smartphones and watches

33
Q

What can strava be used for?

A

To motivate, as well as monitor and inform training

34
Q

Why is monitoring data integrity important?

A

Is to ensure that data is entered into a system and recorded exactly as intended, and when it is retrieved later, it should be the same as when originally recorded

35
Q

How can data be compromised?

A
  • Human error
  • Error in data transmission from one system to another
  • Software bugs
  • Hardware malfunctions
