To aid the implementation of athlete surveillance systems relative to logistical circumstances, easy-to-access information that summarises the extent to which methods of acquiring data are used in practice to monitor athletes is required. In this scoping review, Social Network Analysis and Mining (SNAM) techniques were used to summarise and identif...

Predicting and avoiding an injury is a challenging task. By exploiting data mining techniques, this paper aims to identify existing relationships between modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors, with the final goal of predicting non-contact injuries. Twenty-three young soccer players were monitored during an entire season, with a total of fifty-...

Quantification of athletic performance via analysis of scores of off-season fitness tests has become an essential part of the modern strength and conditioning coach (SCC). Player Efficiency Rating (PER) and Efficiency index (EFF) are two of the most used in-season basketball performance metrics in the US. We collected data from male and female bask...

Correctly assessing the contributions of an individual player in a team sport is challenging. However, an ability to better evaluate each player can translate into improved team performance, through better recruitment or team selection decisions. Two main ideas have emerged for using data to evaluate players: Top-down ratings observe the performanc...

Introduction: Recognition and optimization of strategies in sport games is difficult in particular in case of team games, where a number of players are acting “independently” of each other. One way to improve the situation is to cluster the teams into a small number of tactical groups and to analyze the interaction of those groups. The aim of the s...

Many professional sport organizations are currently in the process of finding or already using sports information systems (SIS) to integrate data from different information and measurement systems. The problem is that requirements are very heterogeneous. That is why no consistent definition of SIS and their categories exist, and it is often not cle...

The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) distributes a considerable amount of money in prizes each year. Studies have shown that only the top 100 ranked players can self-finance; hence, it is convenient to introduce changes to the prize distribution to promote a more sustainable system. A Linear Programming model to distribute the tournament’s...

The aim of this study is to integrate an inertial sensor inside a hammer to allow a realtime feedback. In the first step we build our own prototype to measure the radial acceleration. In the second step there is a validation with an infrared camera system. It is a comparison between the radial acceleration along the wire axis, that is measured by t...

To control and monitor strength training with a barbell various systems are on the consumer market. They provide the user with information regarding velocity, acceleration and trajectory of the barbell. Some systems additionally calculate the 1-repetition-maximum (1RM) of exercises and use it to suggest individual intensities for future training. T...

Tennis performance is influenced by various factors, among which physical performance factors play an important role. The aim of the study was an analysis of possibilities of the use of Saaty’s method for assessing the level of performance prerequisites and comparing the results obtained using equal weights and various weights. The research on Czec...
