Measurements on Human Performance Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Standard Deviation - How spread out the data is from the mean Coefficient variation gives... - A percent of variability Equation for coefficient variation - (SD/mean) x 100 What do error bars represent? - Standard Deviation A t-test shows...? - The probability of something happening by chance What does is mean when the t-test is less than 0.05...? - There is a significant difference, 95% chance not due to chance alone

What are the applications of human performance measurements in sports technolgy? - - effect of an intervention e.g. equipment or training - develop the equipment to measure that we're interested in Catagories of human performance - Body composition & anthropometric Aerobic & anaerobic capacity Technique: neuromuscular Strength & power Perception Technique: kinematic and kinetics

Categories of human performance measurement - - Body composition and anthropometrics - Aerobic and anaerobic capacity (physiology) - Technique - neuromuscular (biomechanics) - Strength and power (biomechanics) - Perception (psychological) - Technique - kinematics and kinetics (biomechanics) Inertia parameters - Properties of a body that define how it moves when a force/torque is applied. - Mass - Length - Centre of mass location - Moment of inerti
