Which system uses a back box to track heart rate, distance, and speed?

• A. Dartfish/Video analysis
• B. Notational analysis
• C. Statsport
• D. Prozone

Answer: (C)

The concept here is wearable telemetry—using a small transmitter worn on the body to collect physiological and movement data in real time. Statsport uses a back box strapped to the upper back, which works with sensors like a chest strap for heart rate and GPS to measure distance and speed. This setup allows coaches and analysts to see heart rate, how far an athlete has moved, and how fast they’re going during training or a match, with data available live or for later review. By contrast, Dartfish relies on video footage to study technique and movement, not the back-box data stream; Notational analysis involves manually recording events on paper or a form; Prozone analyzes video and tactical data but isn’t defined by a back-box telemetry system. So the back box-based data collection described here aligns with Statsport.
