USE OF GPS TRACKING IN THE TRAINING AND COMPETITION PROCESS OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
This article represents research which intends to analyze scientific information, use capabilities of GPS-tracking for monitoring athletes' practice work loads as well as present basic measurements which are key for planning and implementation of monitoring of football players’ activities. Usage of GPS tracking allows for control of the football players' physical state during practice and competitions. Using these monitors, coaches receive information about pulse, blood pressure, distance, speed and number of running paces, frequency of directional change and position on a map in the real time mode. Knowing this data will assist with optimization of the work load on the players and adjustment of practice and competitive activities. This technology also allows to analyze statistical data during the game, evaluate efficiency of the actions on the field and reveal weak spots. As a result of the conducted scientific research the main measurements used while preparing football players are determined
