A2 - Wednesday 26th March

Athletes receive lots of different levels of support, from Physiologists, Psychologists and Biomechanists.
You need to understand the support offered by various groups of people to performers.
How technological development has improved performance (Prozone, Dartfish, Biomechanical analysis of technique). Or, reduced performance (Javelin case study on page 171).
Research the following roles: 
  • Exercise Physiologist, 
  • Sports Psychiatrist, 
  • Nutritionist, 
  • Sports vision specialist, 
  • Biomechanist
  • Podiatrist.

Look at how elite athletes can benefit from these support systems
Useful websites:

Be prepared to discuss these areas of support in Sundays lesson
