A

-Maintaining and ensuring the accuracy and consistency of stored data over a lifetime
-Ensuring data is the same at the time of original recording and the time of information retrieval

Q

How can data integrity be compromised?

A

-Human error when data is entered
-Errors occurring when data are transmitted from one computer to another
-Software bugs or viruses
-Hardware malfunctions such as disk crashes

Q

How to minimise threats to data integrity?

A

-Regularly backing up data
-Controlling access to data and protecting against malicious intent via security mechanisms
-Designing interfaces which prevent the input of invalid data
-Taking care when entering data
-Using error detection and correction software when transmitting data
-Not leaving a compute unattended for unauthorised individuals to access

Q

What are the possible sources of error when using a metabolic cart?

A

-Leakage of air
-Overfeeding or underfeeding may occur post-results, it also measures consumption not calorie needs
-Single snapshots are not as good as average results over longer time periods
-Human errors in taking measurements may occur

Q

What Is an indirect calorimetry?

A

-A technique where the headgear from the cart is attached to the subject while they breathe for a specific amount of time.
-The subject’s inspired and expired gas flows, volumes and concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide are all continually measured.
-These measurements are then translated into a head equivalent
-It is a non-invasive technique and is regarded as being relatively accurate.

Q

What is electrostimulation and how can it prevent injuries?

A

-The production of muscle contraction using electrical impulses
-Can prevent injuries by strengthening and toning the muscles
-helping to prevent losses in fitness levels via application to specific muscle groups, which maintains muscle tone during periods of inactivity
-Assisting in rehabilitation through the gradual strengthening of injured muscles via small incremental increases in workload on the muscles
-helping to get rid of lactic acid after a training session or competition, as well as decreasing muscle tension and potential injury by providing a relaxing effect to muscles.

Q

Quantitative data

A

-numerical data
-data written/measured precisely
-eg. VO2 max test, heart rate monitor, statistical analysis from matches, surveys, questionnaires
-advantages: extremely factual, formal objective data, easy to compare
-disadvantages- not much detail, depth for whole performance

Q

Qualitative data

A

-descriptive data and looks at the way people think or feel eg. Interviews/observations
-advantages: gain clear understanding of athlete experience, lots of detail
-disadvantages: open to interpretation/opinion (subjective), time consuming when analysing data, less meaningful data
