Match Analysis Introductions
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The purpose of this course is the training and match analysis in élite soccer. The main goal is to reviews the recent scientific literature about the determination of physiological and locomotor profile in soccer players. Different areas as player assessment and training/recovery monitoring will be take into consideration for training purposes.
Expected learning outcomes
The student will develop expertise on the methodological assessments of physiological and locomotor parameters both for trainings and matches. These data will be useful for performance assessment and for training purposes in soccer.
