The Football Science Institute continues to contribute to the creation and development of scientific knowledge in soccer. FSI LAB aims to investigate and disseminate the science behind football, addressing the needs and concerns of FSI students and partner clubs by providing scientific answers and real resources to be applied on the field.
The FSI Lab research team had a very productive year in 2023, publishing a total of 7 articles in various high-impact international journals and conferences. These articles cover a wide range of topics related to 4 lines of research:
ACL INJURY and COD/DEC: strategies for identifying risk factors for ACL injury.
GPS tracking: design and monitoring of training tasks to replicate competition demands.
RECOVERY: research on strategies for recovery in football players.
TESTING: development of specific tests to analyze movement in football players.
The success of the FSI Lab research team in 2023 would not have been possible without the contribution of all its members, who have been collaborating from different parts of the world such as Spain, Portugal, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, Scotland, Chile or England.
FSI Lab will keep working to develop new research projects during 2024. Undoubtedly a unique opportunity for FSI students, partner clubs, and football professionals in general, to access the most advanced scientific resources to improve football and its practice in all areas.
