...Show More Authors

This study aimed to analyze the scientific and practical role played by the Polar device in its contribution to improving the training process at Joya Sports Club in Southern Lebanon, especially with regard to keeping pace with modern technology achievements in sports training. The research is contributive and fills a gap between traditional flying work and the adequacy of data-driven training, as well as encourages other new Arab clubs to adopt it in an easy-to-implement model. The research method was descriptive-analytical, with the data being collected through semi-structured interviews with a sample of technical staff, players, and club management. It showed a drastic change in the training methods where device data was used to personalize training programs and physical fitness parameters such as endurance, speed, and strength improved while injury rates decreased via proactive management of training load and recovery. The results also revealed challenges of both organization and finance that were surmountable, provided the technology’s feasibility could be established.
