Team Training Analysis

The need for individualised training

Coaches, fitness trainers and medical staff working in the team environment will understand the need to treat players as individuals. Analysing how individual players are reacting to training demands and understanding the effects of other stressors, such as game pressure, travel, jet lag, private life, etc cannot be underestimated and will enhance your ability to make critical coaching decisions, optimising the performance of every individual in your team.

Responses to training, matches and very varying lifestyles will impact on individuals in differing ways. Training at one set level may have little positive effect on one player and may be detrimental to another

Making decisions as the performance unfolds

Optima-life using Firstbeat technology gives objective, physiological data, in real time, for up to 30 players at anyone time. Firstbeat Technology allows you to see what is happening to individuals as they perform, giving real time data on EPOC accumulation, %VO2 max, EPOC peak, kCal consumption, heart rate, % heart rate max and training effect.

Using monitoring belts and a team pod with a laptop allows data to be collected and displayed as the action happens. (Players will need to stay within 100m of the receiver)

Real time data can be demonstrated in a variety of formats and allows the coach to make real time decisions.

Real Time Individual Data

Results can be downloaded in minutes and both team and personalised individual reports will allow the coaching team to make fast but informed decisions.

Additionally, training can be monitored day by day and week by week

Or you can use the data to evaluate an individual’s physiological performance in relation to their position
