  1. GPS technology worn by team sport athletes primarily captures which performance metrics?

    Answer: Total distance, sprint distance, and positional data

    GPS devices track positional data to derive total distance, high-speed running distance, and sprint counts during training and competition.

  2. A velocity-based training (VBT) device attached to a barbell primarily measures:

    Answer: Bar displacement and instantaneous bar velocity

    VBT devices use linear position transducers or accelerometers to capture bar velocity and displacement throughout each repetition.

  3. Which GPS-derived metric is most commonly used to quantify high-intensity running demands in team sports?

    Answer: High-speed running distance above a set threshold (e.g., >5.5 m/s)

    High-speed running distance above a velocity threshold (typically 5.5–7 m/s) specifically quantifies the most demanding locomotive efforts for load management.

  4. Wearable accelerometers measure changes in:

    Answer: Rate of change of velocity across three perpendicular axes

    Accelerometers detect acceleration in the X, Y, and Z planes, enabling calculation of movement intensity, direction, and impact forces.

  5. The 'PlayerLoad' metric derived from tri-axial accelerometer data represents:

    Answer: A composite score of acceleration across all three axes reflecting physical stress

    PlayerLoad aggregates the instantaneous rate of change of acceleration in all three axes, providing a single index of total physical loading.

  6. GPS tracking devices experience significant accuracy degradation in which setting?

    Answer: Indoor arenas lacking line-of-sight to satellites

    GPS requires satellite signal reception, which is blocked or severely attenuated by indoor ceilings, making it unreliable for indoor sports without supplementary systems.

  7. Mean propulsive velocity (MPV) measured by a VBT device is most commonly used to:

    Answer: Monitor daily neuromuscular readiness and estimate the session 1RM

    MPV provides an objective, real-time estimate of readiness; coaches compare daily MPV at a known load against a reference profile to adjust that day's training intensity.
