Using AMI Sports allows you to log sessions of golf to gain better insights into your practice structure, the impact of on course practice/tournament loads and the relationship with your daily wellness stats.
With the AMI Sports intelligent monitoring system, you can log golf sessions live when at the driving range, on the putting green, practicing out on the course, or following any tournament rounds that you compete in. With each type of session, there are specifics data entries required from you. For example, on the driving range – which clubs have been used, in what order and how many shots have been played with each club? The more accuracy and care taken when entering your data, the more effective the monitoring insights you (and your support team) will have at your fingertips to help inform decisions to optimize you and your golf.
Workload insights
Alongside these specific session details, you are always required to enter the duration (in hours and minutes) and the intensity of the session (i.e. the session rating of perceived exertion – sRPE). The sRPE reflects how hard you felt you had to work in order to complete the session as a whole. To avoid any influence from the intensity of the session’s final task, you should ensure that your rating is completed at least 15 minutes after the session finishes. Upon logging your session duration and sRPE you will be presented with the session’s workload value. This contributes to your golf workload for the day, week and month and ultimately to your global workload graphs seen in the Personal Monitoring area as well as on your Dashboard.
