França, Cíntia; Martins, Francisco; Przednowek , Krzysztof; Marques, Adilson; Ihle, Andreas; Sarmento, Hugo; Gouveia, Élvio RúbioIn football, knee and hip muscle strength assessment have been recommended for injury prevention (Mosler et al., 2017; Namazi et al., 2019). Additionally, bilateral strength differences in the knee and hip joints have been related to an increased risk of injury. The aims of this study were threefold: (1) to compare knee and hip muscle strength performance between professional players competing at different leve...

Pillitteri, Guglielmo; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Sarmento, Hugo; Figuereido, Antonio; Rossi, Alessio; Bongiovanni, Tindaro; Puleo, GiuseppeData-driven training prescription based on previous training or match data is thought to be associated with better training outcome, compared to prescription without considering any monitoring data. Understanding the complex relationship between training load, physical performance, fitness status, fatigue and injury risk represents a challenge for health and performance practitioners and researchers. Although s...
