Abstract
The use of valid, accurate and reliable systems is decisive for ensuring the data collection and correct interpretation of the values. Several studies have reviewed these aspects on the measurement of movement patterns by high-definition cameras (VID) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) but not by Local Positioning Systems (LPS). Thus, the aim of the review was to summarize the evidence about the validity and reliability of LPS technology to measure movement patterns at human level in outdoor and indoor stadium-scale. The authors systematically searched three electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science and SPORTDiscus) to extract studies published before 21 October 2019. A Boolean search phrase was created to include sport (population; 8 keywords), search terms relevant to intervention technology (intervention technology; 6 keywords) and measure outcomes of the technology (outcomes; 7 keywords). From the 62 articles found, 16 were included in the qualitative synthesis. This systematic review revealed that the tested LPS systems proved to be valid and accurate in determining the position and estimating distances and speeds, although they were not valid or their accuracy decreased when measuring instantaneous speed, peak accelerations or decelerations or monitoring particular conditions (e.g., changes of direction, turns). Considering the variability levels, the included studies showed that LPS provide a reliable way to measure distance variables and athletes’ average speed.
Highlights
Electronic Performance and Tracking Systems (EPTS) are divided into Local Positioning Systems (LPS), multiple high-definition cameras (VID) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) [1]
LPS and GPS based sensors are included in a Wireless Body Sensor Network [2,3,4], which is a group of wearable sensor nodes and which can include other types of sensors
With such an idea in mind, the purpose of the present systematic review was to summarize the evidence about the validity and reliability of LPS technology to measure movement patterns in outdoor and indoor environments
Summary
Electronic Performance and Tracking Systems (EPTS) are divided into Local Positioning Systems (LPS), multiple high-definition cameras (VID) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) [1]. LPS and GPS based sensors are included in a Wireless Body Sensor Network [2,3,4], which is a group of wearable sensor nodes and which can include other types of sensors These systems allow the quantification of kinematic [5,6], physiological [7], neuromuscular [5]. GPS and VID have been widely used with a very similar frequency to track player movement patterns, but this cannot be interpreted as equality over time [1,16].
