THE POWER OF OUR METRICS
Our innovative approach is the result of the teaming up with the
pioneers of the metabolic power approach, a relationship which has
strengthened over time.
Moreover, you can take advantage of the energy approach, which
consists in calculating the metabolic power from the running energy cost (estimated) and the speed (measured), assuming that accelerated/decelerated running on flat terrain is biomechanically
equivalent to uphill/downhill running at a constant speed.
MAKE YOUR DECISIONS IN THE EASIEST
AND MOST
EFFECTIVE WAY
KINEMATIC METRICS
Including all the most traditional KPIs used to describe the players movement on the pitch. These speed- and acceleration-based parameters are useful to assess the workload volume and intensity.
METABOLIC POWER
Covering the performance analysis’ area related to energy expenditure. From this perspective, it is easier to understand the aerobic and anaerobic contribution to performance, up to describing the work/recovery balance through the metabolic power events (MPE)
MECHANICAL POWER
Covering the performance analysis’ area related to neuromuscular load. In overcoming the limits of acceleration alone, this analysis starts by profiling each player’s maximum acceleration capabilities (via in-situ ASP), thus detecting all the relevant activities performed through intense concentric (bursts) and eccentric (brakes) efforts.
HEART RATE
The HR signal is directly received from the GPS unit and displayed together with the other parameters in the gpexe web app; this allows the simultaneous analysis of internal and external workload over the same time period.
TIME COURSE ANALYSIS
Our instantaneous data, used to calculate all the metrics, are available to be both displayed on the web app and exported via CSV file.
IMU
These three sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer) allow to recognise the events which are not related to locomotion (jumps, dives, impacts) as well as the instantaneous body orientation of the player.
