Performance analysis and its didactic applicability in the motor-sports and educational field

In these times of great technological evolution, the human movement study, has transformed the application of scientific methods in different areas. In the motor-sports and educational field, the introduction of new technologies has radically changed the approach to the observation and the evaluation of body movement. The aim of the article is to investigate and study, through a theoretical-argumentative research, significant aspects of a procedure of investigation and evaluation based on a accurate observational study, with the use of new technological systems, the Performance Analysis as a key tool for the improving of future motor performances and didactics in the motor-sports and educational field. It was decided to discuss here three technologies, selected for the high degree of involvement in this specific are of research. The three technologies that are presented here are: (1) The calorimeter, (2) Focus X3 Software, (3) Darthfish Software. In team sports, and in group actions, an observer is not able to view and assimilate all the movements and gestures that most people perform at the same time, considering also a possible wide field of action. In this sense it is necessary to have an objective and accurate post-event feedback, in support of a teaching focused and aware of the movement, to optimize the motor gesture.
