Wrist-worn wearable devices equipped with heart rate (HR) sensors have become increasingly popular. The ability to correctly interpret the collected data is fundamental to...

This study aimed to analyse the relationship of regional and whole body morphology to vertical jump performance and to compare the morphological features outlining high and...

Application of ultra–short Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is desirable in order to increase the applicability of HRV features to wrist-worn wearable devices equipped with heart...

Background – This study aimed to analyse the relationship of regional and whole body morphology to vertical jump performance and to compare the morphological features outlining...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether volleyball-specific skills, physical performance, and general cognitive functions differ between players of different...

Deep learning for automatic detection of soccer events from broadcasted video Soccer analytics is attracting increasing interest in academia and industry, thanks to the...

The problem of evaluating the performance of soccer players is attracting the interest of many companies and the scientific community, thanks to the availability of massive...

Background: In youth, the development of change of direction (COD) and sprint performance is a key component for successfully competing in soccer across age. During a COD, the...

This algorithm simulates the outcomes of an entire season of each team of a football league only relying on technical data (i.e., excluding the goals scored), by exploiting a...

As mobility within the European Economic Area (EEA) is on the rise, it is important to understand migrants’ health-related behaviors (such as physical activity [PA]) within...
