  • Interview with Stuart Cormack

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 06/05/2012

    Interview with Stuart Cormack First time I’ve heard about Stuart Cormack was when I saw the video of him presenting at Football Science VII: the International Conference in Japan, 2011 which I have posted in the Playing with the Statistics (Part 1). I immediately wanted to contact Stuart, since the monitoring of the training loads and athlete’s reactions to...

    Fatigue is a brain-derived emotion that regulates the exercise behavior to ensure the protection of whole body homeostasis.

  • Interview with Håkan Andersson

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 21/04/2012

    Interview with Håkan Andersson I had a pleasure of meeting Håkan Andersson couple of years ago in Sundsvall, Sweden when my team played a friendly game (which we won 🙂 ). I was introduced to Håkan by a common friend Carl Valle, who spoke very highly of him and basically demanded from me to pay the visit to Håkan....

  • Playing With Statistics [Part 5]

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 26/03/2012

    Playing With Statistics Although at the end of part 4 I mentioned I will talk about analysis of frequent tests like sRPE, HRV and other’s that are used for monitoring, I will not do that in this part. Maybe in part 6 because I am still ‘playing~struggling’with that one. What I want to talk today is data...

    Playing With Statistics In the last part I did analysis of the test using standard score. Now I am going to analyze re-test. Here are the test score for both test and re-test.

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 19/03/2012

    Playing With Statistics After a general rant in part 1 and part 2 I am about to start actually doing some stats. Ok, the first 30-15IFT test we did was in January and here are the scores. TEST Player v30-15IFT Z-Score 1 19,5 -0,89 2 19 -1,57 3 19,5 -0,89 4 20,5 0,45 5 19,5 -0,89 6...

  • Playing With Statistics [Part 2]

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 18/03/2012

    After a general rant in part 1 I will now try to be more pragmatic. Please note that with these posts I am not trying to impress lab coats, but rather provide an example for my fellow coaches who deal with testing and assessment. Nothing fancy, just down to earth analysis.

  • Playing With Statistics [Part 1]

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 17/03/2012

    Recently I have seen EXCELLENT presentation from Stuart Cormack regarding monitoring in rugby. They utilize GPS, biochemical monitoring, sRPE and Neuromuscular fatigue testing and create light system that red-flags players that need more attention and are away from their usual variability, both to their individual baseline and team baseline (they utilize standard difference score and rolling averages over 4...

  • Frame of reference

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 10/03/2012

    Take a acceleration phase in sprinting  for an example. Ground reaction force passes through body’s center of mass (or slightly outside of it causing certain torque around body’s sagital axis) and certain component of it provides the propulsion force. The bigger the propulsion force, the greater the acceleration. The body inclination can affect this, but to get into more incline position...

    I just wanted to give you a heads up for the articles written by Howard Gray at his blog. His paper/poster on sRPE/TL (Polar Team2) influenced me to create my own monitoring system. This is my way to express my gratitude to Howard. Enjoy the links! Preseason: Low volume & always avoiding fatigue? Scientific Poster: Pilot Study – Tracking...
