Резюме	Time-motion analysis quantifies the physical demands of competition by classifying a player's continuous movement into discrete categories — standing, walking, jogging, running, sprinting — and measuring how much time and distance is spent in each. Thomas Reilly and V. Thomas's 1976 study of professional footballers established the template: hand-tracking players through a match, classifying their locomotion into movement bands, and showing that different positional roles impose different work-rates, with midfielders covering the most ground. The method matured through video-based work such as Bloomfield, Polman and O'Donoghue's 2007 analysis of physical demands by position in the Premier League, and has since been transformed by GPS and optical tracking that record position continuously and automatically. Across these technologies the analytical logic is constant: turn continuous locomotion into categorized time-and-distance metrics that characterize the locomotor demands of the sport.	Accelerometer cut-point calibration solves the central translation problem of objective physical-activity measurement: a wearable accelerometer outputs dimensionless 'counts,' but researchers and health guidelines speak in intensities — sedentary, light, moderate, vigorous. Calibration establishes the count thresholds that map the device's output onto those intensity categories. Patty Freedson, Edward Melanson, and John Sirard's 1998 study of the CSA (later ActiGraph) accelerometer set the template, regressing measured energy expenditure in METs on accelerometer counts during treadmill walking and running and solving the regression for the counts corresponding to moderate (3 METs) and vigorous (6 METs) activity. Later work, exemplified by Evenson and colleagues' 2008 calibration for children, increasingly used receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) analysis to find the cut-point that best discriminates intensity categories. The result in both cases is a small set of count thresholds that turn raw accelerometer data into minutes of activity at each intensity.
