Wk 10 Flashcards
Measurement:
act of assessing
Evaluation:
your statement/opinion on what has been assessed
To optimise training stress you need to … (2)
quantify training stress and the associated physiological responses (subjective and objective)
Subjective methods of quantifying training response include…
perception of training, tiredness, sleep quality, etc.
Objective methods of quantifying training response include…
Mean HR, maximal power, distance measured
Internal load measures…
Physiological stress (heart rate, RPE)
External load measures…
physical output (speed, distance, etc)
External load: contemporary time-motion analysis methods include…
pedometers,
Pedometers measure steps by…
recording each time the force sensitivity threshold exceeds vertical acceleration
Can pedometers account for change in direction?
No
The reliability and validity of pedometers is…
questionable (varies)
Accelerometers works by…
summing acceleration from three different planes of movement (triaxial)
The reliability and validity of accelerometers …
Varies tremendously (questionable)
GPS works by…
a series of satellites that send continuous signals to GPS receivers which then calculate the distance to the satellites to provide information on distance and speed
Most GPS units also contain inertial sensors (gyroscopes, accelerometers, etc) that monitor information such as….
collision, jumps, impact, etc.
