Use of technology in data collection Flashcards
research
A systematic process of investigation and study carried out with the aim of advancing knowledge
sports analytics
The analysis of sports data using analytical tools and methods for data to be subjected to analytical procedures in order to try and improve results
video motion analysis
A technique used to get information about moving objects from video
notational match analysis
used to record aspects of individual or team performance
biomechanics
Used to analyse the sporting impact of body movements
performance analysis (PA)
The provision of objective feedback to a performer who is trying to get a positive change in performance
indirect calorimetry
The measurement of heat/energy generated in an oxidation reaction by determining the intake or consumption oxygen or by measuring the amount of cum dioxide released and translating his quantities into a heat equipment
metabolic cart
Advice which works by attaching headgear to a subject while they breathe a specific amount of oxygen over a period of time
calorimetry
Measurement of the heat/energy eliminated or stored in any system
resting energy expenditure
The amount of energy required for a 24 hour period by the body during rest
Indirect calorimetry and use of metabolic cart helps individuals:
Determine their energy requirements and response to nutrition over time.
Calculate energy expenditure.
Calculate resting energy expenditure.
Help determine amount of food and nutrition needed
possible difficulties of error affecting the validity and reliability of using indirect calorimetry via a metabolic cart include:
Inaccuracies from air leaks
Inaccuracies from recording errors.
Difficult to use on children.
Overfeeding/underfeeding may occur based on results.
Single snapshots are worse than average result studies over a longer period of time.
The process actually measures consumption not needs.
computer software
Any set of machine readable instructions which direct a computers processor to perform specific operations
computer hardware
Physical component of computers
GPS Global positioning system
A space-based navigation system that provides location and time information
benefits of GPS
Expect a use of training time.
Improves tactical analysis.
Helps a coach compare player performance.
Helps get injured players through rehab faster
data integrity
Maintaining and ensuring the accuracy and consistency of stored data over its entire lifetime
How data can be compromised
Human error.
Errors occurring when data is transmitted from one computer to another.
Software bugs or viruses.
Hardware malfunction
ways to minimise threats to data integrity
regularly backing up data.
Controlling access to data.
Preventing input of invalid data.
Using error detection and correction software.
Not leaving computer unattended
Data integrity using sport analytics
Refers to the validity of data
e.g. its relevance and meaningfulness
