    The document discusses tracking (GPS) data from soccer games and training sessions. It explains that tracking data can help coaches by reducing injury risk, enhancing performance, and informing dialogue between coaches and players. However, noise in the data makes interpreting athlete performance challenging. The document recommends focusing on volume, intensity, and efficiency metrics like distance, heart rate, and acceleration when analyzing tracking data. It emphasizes keeping analyses simple and tailored to specific questions from coaches and athletes.

    Why track?

    Reduction / mitigation of risk


     Performance maintenance / enhancement
     Map athletic / performance development
     Injury risk mitigation
    Broker dialogue
     Athletes / Coaches / Other Professionals
     Complement / support / challenge subjectivity

    What are our core reporting principles?

    Keep it simple!!
    “simplicity is complexity resolved”
    (Constantin Brancusi)

    UEFA. Nov 2015


    Core reporting principles
    How much work have I done?

    VOLUME
    Relative to
    How hard did I work? match data

    INTENSITY
    UEFA. Nov 2015
    Volume - Intensity

    Measures derived from loading metrics and presented


    relative to 1 match equivalent (i.e. 100% of volume or
    intensity of the game)

    Core reporting principles
    How much work have I done?

    VOLUME Relative to
    How hard did I work?
    match data
    INTENSITY
    How is my fitness?

    EFFICIENCY
    UEFA. Nov 2015
    What are our core reporting principles?
    Use ‘efficiency’ (metric ratios) to make judgment calls on
    changes in athlete performance status

    Metabolic ‘efficiency’ = Cardiovascular (TrImp)


    Mechanical (Player Load)

    Movement (mechanical) = Mechanical (Player Load)


    ‘efficiency’ Locomotive (TD)

    UEFA. Nov 2015


    What are our core reporting principles?

    Where possible, report Team Position Drill Player

    data against a
    POINT OF REFERENCE
    Usefulness of data –
    coach/player buy in!!

    UEFA. Nov 2015


    What are our core reporting principles?

    Create fingerprints
    What would you ‘normally’
    expect to see

    UEFA. Nov 2015


    Value of fingerprints

    Team Position Drill Player

    UEFA. Nov 2015


    In applied practice, everything should start with a question
    This then becomes a key point of reference

    UEFA. Nov 2015


    Is athlete efficiency a marker of injury propensity?

    30 Senior / U21 players


    Examined mean metabolic and mechanical
    efficiency during 1st 10weeks of the season
    Looked at relationship to presentation of soft
    tissue injury across 1st 20 weeks of the season

    UEFA. Nov 2015
