Why Load Management in Women's Sports is Changing
Author: Jana Hubel
KINEXON Sports is collaborating with teams from various sports to create innovative dashboards that facilitate cycle-based demand planning and live performance monitoring for women.
What the New Feature is All About
With the ability to personalize load recommendations based on the menstrual cycle phase and overall well-being, including factors like pain and perceived energy level, this innovative feature provides value to athletes and their coaches. Let’s delve deeper into how KINEXON’s dashboards are set up to transform load management in the world of women sports analytics forever.
Flexible and Customizable Load Planning
Traditionally, planning the overall load of sessions and training has been a challenging task. Especially with coaches having individual approaches and wanting to be as flexible as possible depending on the different phases of the season and varying fitness levels. However, with KINEXON’s new dashboards, demand planning has become more adaptable and customizable than ever before – all in one solution eliminating laborious tasks and calculations.
Coaches and trainers can now customize load recommendations for individual players by considering their menstrual cycle phase and additional survey questions about their well-being. Based on each player’s position and the typical match load they experience, KINEXON calculates an optimal load range specific to each player. With the new live dashboards, it becomes effortless to track players’ resilience and make real-time adjustments during training and games.
Throughout the development of this new feature and dashboards, TSG Hoffenheim provided invaluable assistance and insights.
The Load Management Feature Adds Value
The integration of subjective and objective data provides a comprehensive approach to athlete care, ensuring that their needs are heard and addressed. With this combined data, coaches and trainers can plan sessions and training goals with increased flexibility and customization, which has a positive effect on:
- Injury prevention
- Rehab training
- Performing at planned intensity
- Over/under-training
- Achieving the last percentage/performing at the best level
Load recommendations based on cycle phase and well-being further enhance the monitoring process, while real-time tracking of load provides immediate value. The dashboard also offers post-analysis options, allowing coaches to investigate why an injury occurred or why a player over/underperformed, leading to continuous improvement and refinement of training strategies.
