S-TRAINING

Sports – Training and Research in DAta ScIence Methods for ANalytics and INjury Prevention Group    

S-TRAINING brings together an inter-disciplinary group of experts in sports science, sports medicine and data science that works together to address various sports-data-related challenges. The general research approach in this network can be summarized as follows: we propose to develop innovative Data Science methods to address injury prevention and coordination/tactics/performance analyses from an inter-disciplinary perspective fuelled by expert knowledge in sports science and sports medicine. A particular strength of our network is the diversity of the datasets we will analyse, diversity in terms of sports, gender, athletes (professionals/amateurs) and heterogeneous data sources (obtained via modern data collection techniques such as wearables or Virtual Reality).

More concretely, our group pursues the following main goals:

By providing open access to the research solutions developed throughout the project, a large range of sport clubs and athletes (both professional and recreational), particularly in commercially weaker sports, will benefit from this research.
