Power, force, velocity properties in sprint running
SCIENTIFIC PAPER Sprint running is a key factor of performance in many sports activities, not only to reach the highest top velocity but also, and most importantly in team sports, to cover a given distance in the shortest time or, to put it another way, to reach the...
Whatsapp chat: accelerations or power events?
Fitness coach Alex Elliot (we changed his real name) asks Cristian Osgnach the meaning of using power events instead of accelerations to "weigh" the athletic performance. Enjoy the conversation!
Empoli FC: 10 gpexe people Q&As
Fitness Coach Antonio Del Fosco shares his experience on how he used gpexe to monitor the athletic performance of Empoli Calcio’s player, controlling the workload in a very detailed manner, not obtainable with the heart rate alone. 1) How often do you utilise gpexe?...
Interview with Cristian Osgnach on metabolic power
This article is here thanks to Mladen Jovanovic who shared with us this article also published on Complementary Training, a “Think tank for coaches, sports scientists, performance analysts and performance directors working in high-performance sports fields and...
Albania National Football Team’s gpexe experience
An interview with the S&C coach Alberto Bellé It's a matter of fact that Albania is in the same way as the other European countries whose national teams historically ruled the world wild competitions over the years. As a consequence, the most important clubs...
Abstract: three examples of metabolic power analysis
"Abstract: three examples of metabolic power analysis" In this video abstract, prof. Pietro Enrico di Prampero discusses three examples in which the metabolic power requirement follows a constant stepwise profile. In the first two cases the step duration is equal, 10...
Abstract: high power events information analysis
"Abstract: high power events information analysis" In this video abstract, Cristian Osgnach shows the Serie A players high-intensity profile by using the GPEXE software that can detect the number of power events; he describes them with additional information such as...
Assessing accuracy and reliability
Assessing the accuracy and reliability of the GPEXE to determine the time course of speed and acceleration In recent years the use of tracking systems has become widespread in team sports monitoring. The technology in this field improved rapidly, the costs have become...
Mechanical analysis
A performance analysis based (also) on muscle workload Match-related fatigue is caused by a combination of several factors that need to be managed to optimize the subsequent recovery process. In recent years the match schedule in elite soccer is particularly dense...
10 things you still don’t know about metabolic power
Something explained again and something new about our energetic approach Some recent papers dealt rather critically with our metabolic power (MP) approach, as previously discussed also in this interview to prof. di Prampero. We think that this is partly due to the...
Watford’s gpexe experience
An interview with Erik Svendsen After its return to the Premier League, Watford FC achieved its goal to remain in the first division for another season. Erik Svendsen, the sports scientist for Watford FC, shared with us how the staff used GPEXE during this year. How...
How to detect the high intensity
Speed zones vs acceleration events vs high power events Player tracking technology has given the coach the opportunity to quantify players’ activity during training sessions and official matches. At the end of physical work it’s quite easy to get in a few minutes the...
