to deepen our performance analysis model
The articles related to the technological and scientific aspects of the gpexe system, with a main focus on the performance analysis model, are available to the whole gpexe community.
Other contents are available into the gpexe academy, for the gpexe users only.
Metabolic Power takes to the field – part 3
"Metabolic Power takes to the field" is part of a series of webinars held by Cristian Osgnach to go deeper on the workload analysis and the concepts of metabolic power and high-intensity through specific examples on the field. Part 3 ...

Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio – Part 2
Although the injury is a complex and multifactorial phenomenon, numerous studies highlighted how less than optimal workload management represents one of the biggest injury risk factors. Therefore, the possibility of excluding one of these factors is an opportunity...
Usque ad veritatem
Prof. PE di Prampero's answer to Martin Buchheit publication. I read recently the short note by Martin Buchheit (Buchheit, 2020) wherein he recalls the first occasion in which we met personally in Clairefontaine (France), at a meeting organised by the “Institut de...
Players’ profiling: the Metabolic Power profile
Test your players without testing them. How to obtain an individual metabolic power profile (MPP) by considering a specific time period of normal training? Metabolic Power Profile In last month's gpexe webinar, Dr J Cassirame, C. Osgnach and Prof PE di Prampero...
The in situ sprint profile for team sports.
Test your players without testing them. How to obtain an individual sprint acceleration mechanical profile conceptually equivalent to our “classic” F-V profile without running a specific test? Acceleration Speed Profile In last Monday's gpexe webinar, Prof....
Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio – Part 1
The ideal training stimulus maximises performance and simultaneously reduces the negative consequences of the training, i.e. the onset of fatigue and the risk of injury. The ratio between the workload carried out during the last week ("acute workload") and the average...
Power events: from theory to practice
Obtaining more powerful and prolonged high-intensity actions through the increase in the duration of the recovery phases, better if during the possession phase. This is the main goal in Empoli FC's work philosophy. The Fitness Coach Rocco Perrotta, with previous...
#gpexePeople – An interview with Prof. Paolo Barbero
Hellas Verona, promoted to Serie A at the end of last year and performing very well so far this season, is a gpexe customer from summer 2019. Prof. Paolo Barbero, fitness coach and a veteran gpexe user, explains why the gpexe system has been chosen by his new club....
a simple intermittent exercise analysis: gpexe vs traditional metrics (part 2)
In the first part of this article, we discussed the limits of acceleration events to describe the high-intensity phases in team sports and which gpexe metric can be used instead. The exercise analyzed takes place over the entire length of the pitch and consists in a...
the battle of thresholds and the misused concept of ‘high-intensity‘ (part 2)
What do we really analyse? In part 1, we dealt with the separate use of speed and acceleration to detect the most intense phases of the match and/or training. For both parameters, we highlighted the main limits of considering them separately. In the following...
