GPS sensors

More Information

In the world of modern football, athletic performance has become a crucial aspect for success on the field. From the precision of passes to physical endurance, every detail counts. That’s why it’s increasingly important to have technological tools that allow gathering objective data on a footballer’s performance on the field in order to take training and player performance to the next level. This task is perfectly carried out by the GPS sensors of Marcet Football University, capable of collecting information on kilometers covered, maximum speed reached, number of sprints performed, distance between players, and the areas of the field most frequently treaded…

How do GPS sensors work?

These compact and lightweight devices are easily placed on the players’ backs before training. The sensors are equipped with high-precision GPS technology to monitor a wide range of vital metrics and performance during training sessions. This allows the coaching staff to have instant access to detailed statistics on the players’ performance on the field, enabling in-depth analysis of both their physical condition and other fundamental tactical aspects of the sport.

Analyzed Parameters

There are many variables that GPS sensors can measure, such as position, movement, heart rate, accelerations and decelerations, or the distance between players. The Marcet coaching staff will pay special attention to the following parameters:

• • Total distance covered: measures the amount of kilometers covered

• • Distance covered in meters per minute: measures the pace and regularity of movement

• • Accelerations and decelerations: measures neuromuscular capacity and provides insights into player profile

• • Amount of High Speed Running (HSR): measures high-speed movement (not reaching sprint).

• • Number of sprints: measures the total number of maximum-speed runs.

With this data, it is possible to obtain an unprecedented insight into individual performance, which for players means a deeper understanding of their physical state and the ability to adjust their training to maximize performance on the field. Coaches can use this information to customize training programs, identify areas for improvement, and optimize tactical strategies.

How the service works

During the intensive course, GPS devices will collect data and statistics from the student in 3 different sessions, each of different nature: a physical one, a finishing one, and a competition one. After analysis by the fitness coach, the player will meet with them and discuss notable aspects of their performance, as well as specific recommendations to focus on in their physical preparation based on the data obtained.

At the end of each training session, a detailed report summarizing all the collected metrics will be provided. This document will provide a comprehensive view of the individual student’s performance, allowing for in-depth analysis and precise scheduling of training and competitions to achieve established performance goals.
