activity analysis

s the recording and analysis of movement and skill data from a game, sport or activity

data collection

the process of gathering information

direct observation

the coach or interested party views the player or team from the sideline; subjective and low accuracy

digital recording

the use of video to collect statistical data that can be recorded live and analysed immediately, or gathered and analysed after the event; less practical but higher accuracy

skill frequency table

generally referred to as 'stats'; tables outline the frequency and effectiveness of skill execution

muscle-use analysis

the player is observed and notes are made about the major muscles or muscle groups most used; enhances the specificity of training

movement patterns

the typical movements completed by a performer during a sport or activity

GPS (global positioning system)

this technology uses satellites to identify position and movement

heart rate telemeter

a device (usually a watch or a chest strap) that provides data on a participant's heart rate response to physical activity

heart rate

measured in beats per minute (bpm), and is used to estimate physical activity as energy expenditure (oxygen uptake)

aerobic training zone

60-85% of max heart rate

predicted max heart rate equation

220-age

work-to-rest ratio

a summary of the time an athlete spends physically working compared to the time spent resting or recovering

work-to-rest ratio for ATP-CP

1:5 and above (rest significantly higher than work)

work-to-rest ratio for anaerobic glycolysis

1:3-1:4 (rest higher than work)

work-to-rest ratio for aerobic energy system

1:1-1:2 or 2:1 or above (work similar to rest OR work higher than rest)
