How data can help Texans decide who plays, how much and the physical well-being of...
It’s here, usually on Fridays, where final decisions are made:
There is a marvelous complexity to the human body, Van Dyke knows. The abundance of advanced technology has yet to fully account for its phenomena. But beneath the bar of complete understanding, Van Dyke and his two-man team are studying myriad metrics to boost player productivity, identify injury trends and improve recovery plans when injuries occur.
Van Dyke was authorized in November 2021 to hire Rosner, a former co-worker at Texas, away from Austin FC, where Rosner was in charge of securing and analyzing data for the start-up soccer team. In April, Van Dyke hired Grubbs, who’d been a strength coach at Liberty University, Purdue and Ole Miss. Grubbs, an expert in biomechanics, now helps the Texans’ strength staff build personalized workout programs for each player.
EliteForm, one of many NFL-approved technologies Houston’s sports science team deploys, tracks the progress of what’s called “velocity-based training” in strength and conditioning circles. Sports organizations are becoming increasingly less focused onPower is football’s tangible unit of measurement. It’s where an athlete’s accelerated mass meets velocity. Van Dyke, who has written several books on the subject of force, lays out an example: Take a 500-pound squat.
All the technologies at the sports science team’s disposal are essentially geared toward measuring that same concept. They monitor the progress of their players, who jump and perform other tasks on electronic platforms called “force plates,” which measure how much force each player generates. They can film a player’s movements on the field or in the weight room and drop the video into artificial intelligence programs that map out the player’s muscular mechanics.
