Die Entschlüsselung von Cristina Neagus unhaltbarem Handball-Wurf mithilfe der Sportwissenschaft
Ist Cristina Neagu wirklich die beste Handballspielerin der Welt? Red Bull hat ein Team zusammengestellt, dem auch ein Sportwissenschaftler von KINEXON angehörte, um diese Frage zu beantworten. Hier ist, was sie herausgefunden haben.
Cristina Neagu ist die einzige Spielerin, die von der Internationalen Handballföderation viermal zur “World Player of the Year”, viermal in das All-Star-Team der Europameisterschaft und sage und schreibe siebenmal in die Champions League gewählt wurde.
Doch was definiert eigentlich eine herausragende Handballspielerin? Und wie misst man das?
Eine Gruppe von Forschern bei Red Bull wollte dieser Frage auf den Grund gehen und haben sich mit KINEXON zusammengetan, um das alles in einem 20-minütigen Dokumentarfilm mit dem Titel “The Science Behind Cristina Neagu’s Unstoppable Shot” festzuhalten.
KINEXONs Sportwissenschaftler analysiert die Daten mit Cristina Neagu
Michael Elmer ist ein ehemaliger professioneller Eishockeytrainer, der jetzt Sportwissenschaftler bei KINEXON ist. Er hat sich auf die Beratung von Handballspielern und ‑trainern bei der Nutzung von Sportanalysen zur Feinabstimmung ihrer Spiele spezialisiert.
In einem separaten Video (Link unten) erklärt er ein wenig mehr über die IMU- und LPS-Technologie, die er für die Analyse von Christines Schuss verwendet hat. Es ist die gleiche Technologie, die wir für viele unserer Hallensportteams verwenden, darunter Handball, Volleyball, Hockey und Hallenfußball.
Player- und Ball-Tracking enthüllen die Geheimnisse hinter ihrem kraftvollen Handballwurf
Michael wurde beauftragt, Cristinas Wurf mithilfe des PERFORM LPS-Trackingsystems von KINEXON in der Polyvalent-Halle in Bukarest zu analysieren. An der Decke der Halle waren 20 Anker angebracht, um Echtzeitdaten bereitzustellen, während Cristina ein Spieler-Tracking-Gerät in einer Weste trug.
Er nutzte auch die Ball-Tracking-Technologie von KINEXON, um die Wurfbewegungen zu erfassen. Während der Handball-Europameisterschaft wurde dieselbe Technologie von KINEXON eingesetzt.

When the NBA comes to Berlin, it brings elite athletes, global attention, and a look behind the scenes of modern basketball. Today, professional basketball teams rely heavily on performance analytics to prepare for games, manage player load, and stay competitive throughout a long season. Basketball performance analysis has become a standard part of how teams train, compete, and recover at the highest level.
Why Tracking Player Performance Data Makes Soccer Training More Effective for Match Day
In soccer, player readiness creates a competitive advantage that clubs can’t overlook. Winning second balls, sprinting while attacking the offensive zone during stoppage time, and executing decisive presses are the marginal moments that define matches. Clubs that keep more players prepared throughout the season consistently perform at a higher level.
How MTSU Women’s Basketball Automated Shot Tracking in Practice to Strengthen In-Game Shot Selection
The mantra “practice how you play” is echoed in locker rooms around the world. Basketball players can record thousands of shots during a week of practice or individual training sessions, but if shooting percentages only define if a player is consistent from a specific spot on the floor, why isn’t every athlete shooting at a high-level during games?
ACL Injuries in American Football: Why Data-Informed Return-to-Play Protocols Protect Athletes
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries remain a persistent reality in American football. High-velocity cuts, sudden decelerations, and piles in traffic create a perfect storm for knee stress. The question is no longer if teams will face ACL injuries, but how they will manage rehabilitation and return-to-play (RTP) without rushing athletes back into harm’s way. The most effective programs now pair clinical rehab with performance tracking technology to pace progression, reduce re-injury risk, and restore game-ready performance.
