The value of player tracking technology in assessment of training volume in youth soccer players.
Description
Wearable IMU and GPS sensors are used to estimate training volume in professional sports to ensure adequate preparation for competition. Recommendations to modify training is individualized to meet health and performance needs of each player. Expense associated with these systems restrict their use in youth sports. More economical alternatives are available but it is not clear if the data is comparable. This project will compare data collected concurrently to determine if the economical system provides similar conclusions. Players from the LA Galaxy (second and developmental teams) will participate. Continuous data from triaxial accelerometers, gyroscope and GPS will be collected during practice and competition. Raw data and commercially derived key performance indicators will be compared to understand the agreement between the systems. Acceptable agreement with comparable interpretation of data with respect to training recommendations may allow for greater access for young athletes
