Football: Sports Science & Technology

Women's football, like all sports, comes with its fair share of physical injuries. From strains and sprains to really serious injuries, female football players are just as prone to getting hurt as their male counterparts. However, the physical toll of the game can often go unreported or unrecognized, as women's football is not as visible or commercially successful as men's football. This lack of visibility can make it harder for female players to access the same medical care quality and support as men players. All of this makes injury recovery something more difficult for women.

This allows you to extend the analysis and get in-depth information about the performance, as well as the way each football player plays.

Although there are different GPS technologies in the world of football, this time we will separate them into two main groups: those placed on the back in vest format (Catapult, StatSports, among others) and those that are placed on the leg (as is the case of OLIVER).

The two types of football differ in many ways and are similar in others, but in this article we will focus on the physical aspects. In which one do players run the most? Which one is more intense? Which one is more physically challenging? All of this can be answered thanks to GPS technology, and today we are analysing every detail.

After the merger between UE Costa Brava and CF Badalona, Badalona Futur was born, a club that innovates in many aspects and is already making history. It incorporated OLIVER to measure all the metrics of the first team, in addition to enhancing performance and preventing injuries.
