Handball is a sport with unique physical demands. It requires coaches and trainers to develop tailored training solutions and load management to optimize their players’ performance and prevent injuries. But a sports performance software that is handball-specific is simplifying the process by creating load profiles quickly and accurately.
Player tracking systems are an integral part of American football. They provide sports analytics, which give us valuable insights into player performance. They can also improve they way you train and helps coaches make informed decisions about player fitness and tactical positioning. Here’s how.
Sports analytics leaders, KINEXON Sports and AWS, are collaborating to promote equality in sports technology for women, with Viktoria Berlin as their inaugural “flagship team”.
