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.
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...
Sprint: the same time but different profiles
The concluding paragraph of our previous article (https://gpexe.com/f-v-profile-game) was devoted to highlighting the fact that the assessment of the sprint ability of a given athlete via his force-velocity (F-V) relationship yields useful information on the quality...
Usain Bolt: metabolic power analysis of a top sprinter
A paradigmatic example of intensity in team sports. A brief Comment by Pietro E. di Prampero, Cristian Osgnach and Ivan Zadro We have recently followed, either personally, or via the press and the available media, several meetings and seminars dealing with the...
a simple intermittent exercise analysis: gpexe vs traditional metrics (part 1)
What do we get from the accelerations number? In this article, we will discuss 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...
the battle of thresholds and the misused concept of ‘high-intensity‘ (part 1)
What do we really analyse? I presume you’ve dealt with many tracking reports and, as it has often happened to me, you probably did not fully understand the meaning of the proposed thresholds. Indeed, I often mulled over the following question: “what happens to the...
F-v profile in the game
In the previous article, we have seen how the force-velocity profile and the maximum power are fundamental parameters for sprint capacities and in particular the related horizontal components (3, 4). We have also seen the relationship between force and speed during a...
UC Sampdoria: 10 gpexe people Q&As
Massimo Catalano, fifteen years of experience as a strength and conditioning coach in Serie A, from SS Lazio to Palermo Calcio, ACF Fiorentina and finally to UC Sampdoria with whom he has been working for 5 years, explains how he uses the gpexe system. He also shares...
High metabolic load distance (HMLD)
High metabolic load distance (HMLD): it’s not what it should be when dealing with the energy balance. The energetic variables based on the metabolic power model have become widespread parameters to assess team sport demands. In addition to the basic metrics suggested...
Triestina Calcio: 10 gpexe people Q&As
After the experience with the Albanian national team, the promotion to the Lega Pro with the Triestina Calcio and after having missed the play-off by a whisker, the trainer Luca Bossi shared his experience with gpexe, not only in terms of monitoring the athletic...
Foggia Calcio: 10 gpexe people Q&As
Towards the end of the last season, before moving to FC Crotone together with coach Giovanni Stroppa, Fabio Allevi and Sergio Mascheroni shared their experience about how they used the gpexe system over the last two years, that has seen Foggia Calcio promoted from the...
FC Inter Primavera: 10 gpexe people Q&As
At the end of last season, after winning a great Primavera Championship, Fitness Coach Mario Familari shared his experience on how he used gpexe to monitor the athletic performance of FC Inter Primavera's players. 1) How often do you utilise gpexe? We use gpexe in all...
