  • How to Analyze Training Load and Monitoring Data?

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 21/11/2017

    In this video I am explaining two methods to deal with missing values and why you should pay attention to the way you are aggregating data (daily, team averages, body soreness, etc).

  • Shuttle Run Beep Test Improvement & New Test

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 12/10/2017

    Few days ago, I spoke with Cameron Josse, who is Director of Sports Performance at DeFranco’s Gym, regarding simple (or should I say, Minimum Viable Program – MVPr) endurance test for football athletes. I have directed Cameron to the article Testing Endurance for Team Sport Athletes and my Shuttle Run Beep Test. Since we are on the same page...

  • To Turf or Not to Turf, That is the Question [Part 1]

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 05/07/2017

    In this video I am presenting my “solution” to the problem and provide fake data set, as well as R code for analyzing the data. Having decent predictive model can help us run different optimization algorithms to find the “best” scheduling to minimize/maximize injury risk or performance.

  • Netflix Prize and Injury Prediction Prize

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 13/03/2017

    The Netflix Prize was an open competition for the best collaborative filtering algorithm to predict user ratings for films, based on previous ratings without any other information about the users or films, i.e. without the users or the films being identified except by numbers assigned for the contest. Which made me think – why don’t the “rich” clubs, such...

  • Thoughts on Injury Prediction

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 08/12/2016

    In the following article, I am discussing the famous “J” curve in injury prediction, as well as simulate some data to show how that curve is estimated. I also show the distinction between association and prediction, as well as how to make training decisions based on the different costs of committing false positive and false negative errors.

  • The Dowry Problem

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 18/10/2016

    In this video I am solving the famous dowry problem using the simulation in R. It is interesting to see how we can test the assumptions and heuristic easily with simulations.

  • Masked Relationships and Multicollinearity

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 04/05/2016

    In this video and R workbook I am “playing” with linear regression and I am trying to explain the concept of “controlling” for one variable (this is common in statistics, but I had hard time understanding it until I visualized the problem), masked relationships and multicollinearity.

  • (Playbook) Converting Just Jump to Smart Jump

    By Mladen Jovanovic on 23/04/2016

    Coaches and athletes sometime change measurement/testing equipment. The problem is that the estimates from different equipment might differ (and they usually do). There are couple of soutions to this problem...
