The Deutscher Eishockey-Bund (DEB) presents the second phase of the innovation project “REGman” in collaboration with KINEXON and the Ruhr University Bochum. As part of the video competition of the Federal Institute for Sports Science (BISp) on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, show DEB, KINEXON and the Ruhr University Bochum Excerpts from phase II of the scientific joint project “Optimization of training and competition: regeneration management in top-class sport (REGman)”.
The BISp-funded project for optimal stress and recovery control, which generates targeted regeneration strategies on the basis of more than 15 sub-studies, serves in particular to expand knowledge on the diagnosis of recovery needs and the level of stress, as well as to promote regeneration in top-class sport. The scientific work is based in particular on the results of the radio-controlled tracking system “KINEXON” in the Federal Performance Center in Füssen and the empirical research results of the Ruhr University Bochum. Based on the data collected in cooperation with competitive athletes, top sports associations and Olympic centers, a concrete pattern emerges on which the regeneration strategies are based.
With ice hockey as a high-intensity, rapid-strength sport with interval-like loads and extremely high frequency of use in a season, optimal load and recovery control is essential to prevent injuries and guarantee high performance. The simultaneous consideration of objective and subjective data for the national teams of the German Ice Hockey Federation is an important part of regeneration management. Karl Schwarzenbrunner, national trainer for science and training and initiator of the project on the part of DEB, uses the KINEXON and Firstbeat systems to collect objective data, while Prof. Dr. Michael Kellmann (head of the sports psychology teaching and research department at the Ruhr University Bochum) made it possible to collect subjective data by developing a unique questionnaire system.
