Introduction

Sport Science is a complex department which encompasses testing and monitoring each system in the human body.

Testing the athletes in each area of performance relevant for their sport is key using all available sport testing technology.

Two main categories are the focus when testing and monitoring athletes: health and wellness as well as performance.

Beyond simply conducting athlete testing the sport scientist needs to collate the current data to compare and contrast all historical data for monitoring purposes.

Two types of data can be drawn upon to build out the databases: objective and subjective data, with each type providing valuable insight into the athletes’ performance state.
