A methodology per ranking soccer teams based on soccer logs

In the last decade, the number of studies about machine learning algorithms applied to sports, e.g., injury forecasting and athlete performance prediction, have rapidly...

Wearable devices now make it possible to record large quantities of physiological data, which can be used to obtain a clearer view of a person’s health status and behavior....

Easy-to-apply and quick methods for evaluate body composition are often preferred when assessing soccer teams. This experiment aimed to develop new equations for the...

In this experiment we processed game events available in soccer-logs in order to identify in an unsupervised way (i.e., using a data mining clustering algorithm) a set of roles.

An algorithm to forecast the injuries of soccer players given their training workload

The use of machine learning (ML) in soccer allows for the management of a large amount of data deriving from the monitoring of sessions and matches. Although the rate of...

The fact that kinesio tape may be capable to enhance muscle power would qualify it as practical tool to be considered during passive warm-up (WU) or coupled with active WU...

The aim of this study was to assess short-term delayed effects of Kinesio taping (KT) on maximal cycling performance. A design with repeated measures was used. Fifteen healthy...

The objective of this study was to investigate the association between regional and total phase angle (PhA) with lower-body neuromuscular performance in young elite soccer...

the scope of the Special Issue is to advance knowledge of the factors affecting sports performance and recovery emphasizing the use of novel strategies to alleviate and...

Wrist-worn wearable devices equipped with heart rate (HR) sensors have become increasingly popular. The ability to correctly interpret the collected data is fundamental to...

This study aimed to analyse the relationship of regional and whole body morphology to vertical jump performance and to compare the morphological features outlining high and...

Application of ultra–short Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is desirable in order to increase the applicability of HRV features to wrist-worn wearable devices equipped with heart...
