GLOBAL EXPERIENCE OF GPS SYSTEM APPLICATION EFFICIENCY IN FOOTBALL

Abstract

Football is a dynamic sport requiring a high level of physical and mental exertion from the players. The difference between victory and defeat can be a matter of inches or seconds, making performance optimization a critical aspect of the game. Technological advances in recent years have given teams innovative tools to increase their own performance. Among these technological tools, global positioning technology (GPS) has become popular in the football industry. The use of GPS technology in football has changed the way teams approach training and performance analysis. GPS technology provides coaches with real-time data on player movement and performance metrics such as distance covered, speed, acceleration, deceleration and heart rate. This data can be used to optimize training programs and improve player performance by identifying areas for improvement. Compared to traditional performance analysis methods such as video analysis or subjective observation, GPS technology provides objective data that can be analyzed more effectively. This allows coaches to make more reasonable decisions regarding player selection and training programs. The purpose of the research is to study the main role and features of using GPS technology in the football coach activities and the advantages of implementing GPS technology in the field of physical culture and sports, its comparison with traditional methods, as well as possible problems that may be associated with the implementation of GPS technology. The use of GPS technology in football has become even more popular in recent years and offers many benefits to teams and coaches. GPS technology provides objective data and real-time monitoring, allowing coaches to make reasonable decisions based on real facts rather than subjective observations.
