How to optimize an elite player? 🧬⚽️

The colleagues from Girona FC shared a case study involving one of their players at the Isokinetic 2026 conference. The scenario was complex: a player with a marked pattern in the hamstrings and a profile that needed improvement. How to change that context to help the player, that was the plan where three pillars were key:

1️⃣ Thermography: Identification of thermal asymmetries for muscle monitoring and its response to load.

2️⃣ Metabolic Profiling: Understanding how substrates are managed to adjust nutrition and auxiliary workloads.

3️⃣ Genetics: The player's profile to adapt recovery work.

The integration of these data points allowed for the transformation of a situation that was not optimal.
