Decision Intelligence in Elite Sport
How do we translate monitoring into a training decision? Elite sport is not short of data. Training load, wellness, sleep, HRV, movement profiles and neuromuscular markers are monitored more than ever before. But which of these data streams actually lead to better decisions in training, competition preparation or return-to-play?
This session shifts the focus from monitoring itself to the central question of practice: which data are truly actionable, for whom, in which context and at what moment? Particular attention will be given to how science and practice can work hand in hand more effectively. Combining scientific evidence, coaching expertise and contextual understanding to improve decision-making in elite sport. The emphasis is no longer only on collecting and analysing data, but on improving the quality of the decisions made from them.
