Learning objectives
The course provides knowledge in the evaluation and analysis of training and matches in elite soccer, as well as recent scientific evidence for the means and methods of determining athletic/physical performance in soccer players. The main topics are evaluation of soccer players and monitoring of training/matches/recovery, with a view to have a useful overview of information on training.
Expected learning outcomes
Students will acquire knowledge of the major means and methods for determining the physiological parameters and external load in performance analysis during competition and training.
