Quality of Measurement Information in the Context of Sports Applications

Abstract

Under the assumption that information provided by measurements may be usefully exploited to improve sport performances, this paper addresses the problem of defining and assessing the quality of measurement information in the context of sports applications. By using some criteria organized, according to semiotics, into syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic layers, a previously published framework is adapted to interpret measurement information acquired for sports applications. The framework is illustrated, and a case study is presented to introduce its application.
