Physiology and biomechanics

This research line focuses on understanding the key physiological and biomechanical factors that influence performance in football. It investigates both acute and long-term responses of players to training and competition, while also analysing the physiological and biomechanical characteristics of critical game actions to better understand how these movements occur and how targeted interventions can be designed to optimise on-field performance.

SmO2

Research focused on the monitoring of muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) in football players to better understand local muscle oxygen dynamics during training and competition. This research analyses how SmO2 responses relate to exercise intensity, fatigue development and recovery processes, providing insights for optimising training prescription and performance monitoring.

Landing Analysis (Jump & COD)

Research examining the biomechanical characteristics of landing mechanics during jumps and change-of-direction actions in football players, with the aim of understanding movement strategies, mechanical loading patterns and potential implications for performance and injury risk.

Technical-biomechanical Analysis of High-Intensity Actions

Research analysing the technical and biomechanical characteristics of high-intensity football actions such as sprinting, accelerations, decelerations and changes of direction. The objective is to understand how these movements are performed in real game contexts and to inform training interventions that improve efficiency, performance and movement robustness.
