REFINEMENT OF TECHNIQUE

• TECHNIQUE
• technique amounts to the sequence of actions
  necessary to perform a physical skill accurately
  and efficiently
• will depend on
• the physique and strength of the performer
• the requirements of the sport or skill
• the mechanics of the desired movement
• refinement of technique involves
• knowledge of the perfect technical model by a
  coach
• knowledge of the mechanics of a skill
• being aware of methods by which technique
  can be changed
• the first step is to observe the performance
  by video analysis

REFINEMENT OF TECHNIQUE

• PROZONE
• this is video analysis software used by
  premiership soccer and international teams
• provides information on the movement and
  positional play of players

FORCE PLATES

• FORCE PLATES
• are inserted into the ground at the take off area
  for a long jump or high jump
• or in the space in a track immediately after a
  sprint start
• so that the patterns of force made by a foot
  striking the plate can be determined
• this information (combined with video of the same
  footfall) can tell a coach the precise way in
  which the foot is active during its strike with
  the ground
• and enable him / her to assess whether changes in
  foot posture are required

PEDOMETRY

• PEDOMETER
• this is a wrist worn device used to detect
  footfall
• what it actually detects is the impact between
  foot and the ground
• which causes the whole body to decelerate and
  accelerate
• therefore it is a inertial device detecting
  change in position
• its purpose is to count the number of footfalls
  during a race, training session or activity
• a coach will use this information to assess
  stride length or total energy output

HEART RATE MONITORING

• HR MONITOR
• fairly old technology
• can be strapped to the torso or worn as a
  watch-like device on the wrist
• so that heart rate can be observed by the
  performer
• during training or competition
• to ensure that HR operates within a predetermined
  training zone
• this technology works by detecting the electrical
  signal produced by the heart during its beat
• similar to ECG technology

USE OF GPS TECHNOLOGY

• THE BASICS
• GPSports have developed a system which includes
• storage and interpretation of positional data of
  sports players
• at 5 Hz, which means 5 data points per second
• heart rate determination
• unobtrusive equipment able to be worn by
  participants during competitive situations
• simple data download within 10 minutes of the end
  of playing
• equipment module is inserted in a computer linked
  docking module
• dataset conversion into customised report format
  is then automatic and available to a coach within
  30 minutes

USE OF GPS TECHNOLOGY

• THE BASICS

  a google earth image

  soccer training match

  playing area

USE OF GPS TECHNOLOGY

• NUMERICAL DATA
• this display shows distance travelled
• and maximum / minimum / average
• heart rate
• speed
• this is the minimum data of use to a coach

• future developments include incorporation of
  gyroscope and magnetometer
• which would enable production of 3 dimensional
  data (up and down, side to side, and forward and
  backwards)
• and orientation of the participant - which
  direction is he / she facing?
