Current Approaches in Sports Science: Training, Performance, and Analytical Applications
Synopsis
Sports sciences have recently undergone a multidimensional transformation, integrating the physiological foundations of training science with match performance analysis. Topics such as the interaction between the neuromuscular system and exercise, modern warm-up strategies, injury prevention, and data-driven performance analysis have become central to contemporary team sports. In high-intensity sports such as basketball and football, these developments directly influence training planning and competitive strategies. This book aims to bring together current theoretical approaches and practical applications in modern sports science. The chapters address key topics including neuromuscular system and exercise, warm-up strategies in modern basketball, advances in match analysis, training planning in modern football, and performance evaluation based on the 2024–2025 UEFA Champions League season. The book is intended to serve as a valuable reference for academics, coaches, and researchers working in the field of sports sciences.
