Refinement technique; the greater the efficiency of movement, the greater the impact of any
physical effort, the greater the result. E.G swimming with a poor technique uses lots of energy
Observational feedback; when analysisng a perfomer you should
compare them to the perfect model. This can be broken down to;
start position, transition, execution, recovery (e.g tennis serve)
Video feedback is increasingly used (Dartfish, prozone) to asses technique. These
packages allowed coaches to; observe several performers at a time, analyse biomechanics
of performance, compare athletes easily, trach players movements
Technical ergogenic aids
Force plates; calculate force impacted
in surfaces e.g long jumpers
Pedometry; device to
calculate distance covered
Heart rate monitioring; alllows
athletes to determine intensity
of training
Power guages; measures
power accurately
Wind tunnels and aerodynamics;
used to test cycles
