RPE and session-RPE: the science behind the simplest load metric
A detailed review for coaches and athletes on Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and session-RPE (sRPE) — the history, the validity, the formulas, and how to use it properly.
How MicroPulse Detects Neuromuscular Fatigue: Locating the Fatigue, Not Just Flagging It
A jump that's down can't say where the fatigue is. This is how MicroPulse locates it — splitting neuromuscular fatigue into neural, tissue and systemic from the CMJ's phase metrics, the wellness check-in and the post-match recovery curve — and why it only ever explains, never overrides, the verdict.
Wellness Check-Ins for Athletes: What the Evidence Says About Self-Report Monitoring
Short daily self-report questionnaires — fatigue, sleep, soreness, stress, mood — are among the most widely used monitoring tools in sport. This review of the evidence shows why they often out-sense costly objective markers, how they relate to injury risk, and how to run them well.
MET Technique: How Muscle Energy Technique Reduces Injury Risk
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is one of the most effective ways to improve range of motion and reduce muscle tension. Here is how and why it works.
ACWR and Load Management: How to Manage Training Load to Prevent Injuries
The Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) is one of the most important tools in modern sport for assessing injury risk. Here is how coaches can use it effectively.
Small-Sided Games: How Player Count and Pitch Size Change the Training Stimulus
Small-sided games (SSG) are the backbone of modern football training. But how does 3v3 on a small pitch compare to 5v5 on a large one? Here is the science behind drill design.
MicroPulse for Basketball: What Can Basketball Teams Use?
MicroPulse is not just for football. Basketball teams can use nearly all system features with sport-specific metrics designed for indoor environments.
Team Match Insight: connecting running data, xG and results
A new analysis screen in MicroPulse reads GPS and IMA movement against match results and Wyscout stats (xG). Here is what it does, what Breiðablik's own data shows — and why it never claims running causes winning.
