\(C\)

Show Worked Solution
  • C is correct: These technologies provide workload and physiological data such as distance, speed and heart rate. This helps coaches and athletes identify fatigue and manage training load.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect: Smart clothing and AI analysis optimise training and technique but are less directly used to monitor overtraining.
  • B is incorrect: VR and motion capture focus on skill development and biomechanics, not workload management.
  • D is incorrect: Altitude masks and power sensors inform performance adaptations but do not directly prevent overtraining.
