Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, Volume 4, Issue 2

June 2019 - 24 articles

Cover Story: Within the last few decades, there has been a massive increase in the amount of technological innovations that can be applied to sports. Most recently, developments in genetic testing technologies, along with data mining and machine learning, have been heralded as major breakthroughs promising to revolutionize sports training practices. In this paper, we explore some of these new technologies, seeking to understand how they might be applied to individual athletes as a means of personalizing the training process. In doing so, we critically analyse the level of evidence of these technologies, along with issues surrounding their use within practical settings. Our over-arching goal for this article is to begin to develop a framework by which these various technologies might be implemented into sports training as a method of allowing sports coaches to better design, deliver, and evaluate their training programmes.
