Unit 4: Activity Analysis Flashcards
(17 cards)
What is the purpose of physiological data in senior PE?
To determine the physiological requirements of an activity and identify relevant fitness components, energy systems, and muscle groups/actions
What is an activity analysis?
The first step in the effective development and implementation of a strategic training program
What is direct observation in data collection?
A method where the coach views the player or team from the sideline, gathering subjective information about their movements and intensity
List some types of information gathered through direct observation
- How athletes move around the playing area
- Where they move
- Intensity of their sprint or playing
- Frequency of skill movements
- Muscle groups used
- Team plays in use
What is a limitation of direct observation?
It is very practical, but low accuracy
What does digital recording include?
- Digital recorders
- Tablet computers
- Flip video cameras
- Mobile apps
- Heart rate monitoring
- Global positioning systems
- Aerial sports analysis technology
How can performance be recorded in a school setting?
Using a device such as a digital recorder or smartphone/tablet
What type of analysis provides information about physiological parameters in tennis?
Skill frequency analysis
How does skill frequency analysis help in understanding fitness components?
It indicates the importance of specific fitness components, such as arm power based on skill execution frequencies
What does analysis of movement patterns link to?
Fitness components and energy systems, as well as fatigue-related factors
What is a challenge in plotting movement patterns during a game?
It is difficult to observe players and record movements simultaneously
Why is digital recording advantageous for movement analysis?
It allows capture of movements that can be analyzed later
Why is heart rate monitoring important during physical activity?
It informs us of the intensity at which we are working at any particular point in time
What does intensity refer to in the context of heart rate monitoring?
The level of exertion or how hard the body is working at any point, measured by heart rate
How does heart rate monitoring relate to training?
It informs us of the correct training zones to develop relevant energy systems and fitness components during training
What training principle is applied through heart rate monitoring?
The principle of specificity
Because its challenging to watch and record players at the same time, what is a solution?
Use a digital recording method to capture movements that can be analysed later
