Descripció
The analysis of physical performance data has seen remarkable growth and importance in recent years in professional sports clubs and organizations. The use of programming languages like R has been crucial for processing large volumes of data from various sources (GPS, force platforms, questionnaires, accelerometers, among others).
The information resulting from these analyses has a significant impact on daily decisions in various fields (Physical Preparation, Medical Team, Scouting, etc.), adding greater value to the work of Sport Scientists and achieving a greater impact on team/club performance.
This Sports Scientist profile is of great interest in top-level clubs, and job descriptions specify these competencies as essential in hiring professional profiles. However, currently, there are no courses focusing on learning programming languages like R applied to physical performance data, nor are there subjects focused on these topics at the university level. Therefore, adding this specific competency can make a difference in this highly competitive sector.
