Application of Bayesian Statistics in Physiotherapy Testing.

Imagine you’re a detective trying to identify criminals in a crowded room. Some are guilty, and some are innocent. Your job is to catch the bad guys without wrongly accusing the good ones. This scenario is surprisingly similar to how physiotherapists use diagnostic tests to identify injuries or diseases. But

Conditioning training in football: Shuttles, laps, or small-side games?

Very often I hear that conditioning training in football ( and other sport games) should be “game-specific” thus it is stupid for a player to run laps as this do track-and-field athletes. Coaches have to develop player’s endurance with the small-side games (SSG) or, if the more structured workload is

Strength and conditioning training in German ice-hockey team.

Recently I have visited Augsburg in Germany and used this opportunity to improve my knowledge about sports science support and strength and conditioning practice in high-level sport. Augsburg has a team in German ice-hockey premier division — Augsburger Panther. The team is currently on a 5-th place in the championship.
