The Topsportlab injury prediction algorithm (IPA) What is IPA? The Topsportlab injury prediction algorithm (IPA) is an injury prevention and assessment tool, available as an online application, which allows the medical and technical staff to log in anywhere, at any moment in time. By analyzing output of periodical medical and physical tests, the scientific software indicates susceptible body zones in relation to risk of injury and re-injury. With a single look at the visualization, the medical staff gains critical insights into each player’s injury prone zones, allowing more effective injury prevention strategies, personalized for each player.
“Thanks to TSL’s injury prediction algorithm, injury prevention is much more effective in the future” Dr. Jan De Neve Head Medical Staff Club Brugge
How was IPA developed? More than five years of scientific research at the K.U.Leuven, in cooperation with multiple professional football clubs and clinical experts in the domain of prevention and rehabilitation of football injuries, has provided Topsportlab with a reliable injury prediction algorithm. This tool has proven to be a significant predictor of future injuries. This Algorithm was developed in close cooperation with Lstat, the Leuven statistics research centre and the department Biomedical Kinesiology of the K.U.Leuven
How does IPA works? 1. Results of the medical and physical tests used in the club during
the past years are added to the logarithm and analysed by the selflearning software tool. A primary prediction will be made and the corresponding analysis will be available online.
2. Additional medical and physical tests will be suggested to optimize the injury prevention. These suggested tests will be available as online video images for the medical and paramedical staff. 3.
Based on the different test results, deficiencies and imbalances at the different high susceptible body zones (i.e. Hamstrings, Groin, …) are identified and converted into an individual risk profile for each of these zones, enabling personalized medical strategies for each player.
4.
As an additional service, individual injury prevention training programs can be developed in cooperation with the medical staff in the form of: zones, acting on the most important intrinsic risk factors per player.

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of a training program, clubs can re-execute the screening, allowing them to track their evolution over time.
Feature Tour Dashboard – The starting point
The dashboard offers a fast overview of the game and training statistics, the injury prediction and the medical report of each player. From this starting point you can check and monitor all individual and team data anywhere anytime!
Medical – Organise injury prevention
The injury prediction algorithm (IPA) offers an individual risk profile of each player. Specific exercises are proposed to lower the risk. For injured players, you can monitor the medical attendance of your players (diagnosis, rehabilitation plan and evolution).
Training – periodisation
Organise
training
Through a calendar you can organise your training sessions for an entire season. It is an easy tool to follow up the training attendance. In addition, you can consult an extensive database with training exercises by world-class coaches such as José Mourinho, Louis Van Gaal, Carlo Ancelotti, etc.
Game – Organise your season
Through a calendar you can organise your games (domestic and international) for an entire season. In the game statistics, you can map selections, substitutions, playing time, positions, cards, etc. Goal stats keep track of all details (assist, how, where, etc.) about goals for and against.
Test – Screen your players
Screen your team with different physical, medical, strength and technical tests. The application offers you more than 250 protocols. The test results are linked with the injury prediction and performance prediction algorithms. This supports you to evaluate your players and to adjust the exercises when necessary. Swift communication with the individual info sheet informs and motivates your players.
Performance Prediction – Finger on the pulse
Daily workload of the players is easily determined thanks to our cooperation with Polar, which allows you to transfer all heart rate data directly to the application. The performance prediction algorithm gives an indication of the fitness and fatigue level of every player at any time. The overuse indicator warns you when a player is at risk to develop an overuse injury.
