Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) can estimate body composition (e.g. fat mass and fat-free mass) via a small electrical current.
Hydration Testing
Hydration testing is used to determine an athlete’s body fluid balance, and can prevent serious performance and health deficiencies.
Statistical Significance
Statistical significance is a scientific method that helps to determine whether reported research findings are actually true.
Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio
The acute:chronic workload ratio can assist practitioners in understanding the preparedness of an athlete and their relative injury risk.
Body Composition Testing
Changes in body composition can be determinants of successful performance, and there are several methods of body composition testing.
Smallest Worthwhile Change
Fitness testing is a crucial part of athlete profiling, and meaningful results can be assessed by calculating the smallest worthwhile change.
Velocity-Based Training
Velocity-based training is simply a method of training which uses a piece of technology to track the movement speed of the exercise.
GPS (Wearables): Part 2 – Metrics and Application
GPS devices are often used to measure the workload of athletes. In this article, we explain what you need to measure and why.
GPS (Wearables): Part 1 – Technology, Validity, and Reliability
The use of GPS devices in sport has become increasingly popular in recent years, but is the technology accurate?
Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
Heart rate variability is a method of measuring athletes’ fitness and fatigue to determine their readiness to train and prevent overtraining.
Salivary Immunoglobulin A (S-IgA)
Understanding and monitoring Salivary Immunoglobulin A (S-IgA) can help coaches and athletes minimise illness.
