My research interests are primarily centered around team sports and physical performance, with a special focus on external load monitoring – often referred to as "GPS tracking" or local positioning systems (LPS). I am particularly interested in how physical capacities relate to in-game performance and how we can tailor training based on detailed load data to improve athlete development.
In my work, I have examined how various physical tests – such as sprinting, strength, jump height and endurance – correlate with match load and performance in football and ice hockey. By using tracking technology, I analyze external load variables like accelerations, sprint distance and intensity, and relate them to lab-based fitness measures and player roles.
My main research areas include:
- Physical training and performance development in team sports
- External load monitoring using GPS and LPS technologies
- Relationships between fitness and match demands
- Training individualization and recovery in elite sport
