RCD Espanyol de Barcelona and ThermoHuman have reached a partnership agreement to integrate infrared thermography technology into the protocols of their medical and performance department. The main objective of this new strategic alliance is to optimize the workload management of the blue and white first team ahead of upcoming competitive challenges.

Today's elite football requires players to maintain maximum intensity levels week after week. This level of demand, added to the density of the competition schedule, requires exhaustive monitoring of the players' physical condition and increasingly precise, agile, and effective monitoring tools.

To respond to this need, RCD Espanyol has incorporated ThermoHuman technology. Through the use of thermal cameras and our advanced Artificial Intelligence-based software, the Catalan team will be able to quickly, objectively, and non-invasively evaluate their athletes' physiological response to training and competition stress.

The implementation of thermography in the club's daily routine will allow its coaching and medical staff to:

• Monitor load assimilation: Early identification of body areas with greater metabolic or joint stress resulting from efforts on the pitch.
• Evaluate and personalize recovery: Objectively analyzing the thermal evolution of each player to measure the effectiveness of rest strategies and apply the most appropriate treatments (such as thermotherapy or cryotherapy).
• Individualize physical work: Providing quantitative metrics that facilitate decision-making and the adjustment of training sessions to the specific needs and real status of each player.

For ThermoHuman, it is a true privilege to start working alongside a historic LaLiga institution like RCD Espanyol. This partnership reinforces our commitment to applying cutting-edge technology and data analysis to maximize sports performance in professional football.
