The Impact of Competitive Exercises Supported by Information Technology (GPS FieldWiz and Polar Verity Sense) on Developing Endurance in Football Players

Abstract

One of the most popular team sports, football is practiced among men and women of various ages and skill levels. This sport's physical growth is directly related to contemporary technology and well-organised training, both of which have greatly improved athletic performance.Outstanding performance in football requires high endurance capacity to support sustained physical performance during matches and training, especially given the competitive nature of the game.

This research aims to improve the endurance capacity of Al-Talaba Sports Club players in Baghdad using advanced technologies such as the GPS FieldWiz tracking device and the Polar Verity Sense heart rate monitor. The importance of the research lies in introducing competitive exercises based on modern tracking technologies, which contribute to enhancing players' physical performance efficiency and developing effective training strategies based on accurate scientific data.

The study highlights the need to enhance endurance speed among players, necessitating the use of modern technological devices to analyze performance and design competitive training programs that improve their ability to sustain speed during matches. The results indicate that the use of competitive exercises based on devices such as GPS and Polar has a clear positive impact on developing speed endurance, emphasizing the importance of integrating these technologies into sports training plans to achieve optimal results.
