Sport Analytics Platform for Athletic Readiness Assessment

Abstract

Many coaches and athletes are showing an increasing interest in training monitoring systems every year. There is a plethora of performance markers that can help coaches and trainers to better assess physiological and psychological conditions of their athletes which later indicates whether athletes are ready for competitions, are adapting to their training program or are in risk of injury. However, studies have shown examination of these performance markers individually may not result in a clear perception of one's performance. Hence, an inclusive analysis of these metrics is required to achieve meaningful assessment. Recently with the growing use of wearable activity trackers, we have access to many of these markers. Currently, there are a few sport monitoring tools which are using a subset of these metrics and are mostly providing real-time data visualization to coaching staff. However, an appropriate athletic performance monitoring system should be intuitive, provide useful data analysis, feedback and reliable predictions to coaches and athletes. In this paper we are proposing an athletic monitoring system which collects a comprehensive set of metrics and visualize them in real-time and informs coaches about athlete's readiness score.
