Introduction

After completing the first 3 modules you should have a good understanding of the underlying principles of the scientific method, sports science, testing, monitoring and handling data.

This module is designed to show examples of how we put into practice everything we have learned.

The first case study provides an example of a typically realistic monitoring scenario, which could be replicated by most persons with simple equipment.

The second case study looks at managing and handling data, while the third provides insight into what we do at the UFCPI.

The vast majority of people and institutions are not going to have access to the equipment and resources UFC fighters do when they attend testing sessions at the UFCPI, and some of the technologies and terms mentioned may seem foreign to you at this stage.

Take this as a high-level example of what is possible, and not as what is expected for the average or even most advanced athletes.
