The Multi-Aspects of Education in My Life as a Football Player

a) Team Trainings at My Football Club

The training sessions with my team consist of tactical and physical exercises aimed at improving team play and collective performance. During these intense training sessions that we do 5 days a week, HUAWEI WATCH 5 has many advanced features to track my performance. It is quite impressive that these features can be adapted to different sports. Of course, I adapted them to football. For example, increasing speed in flat running workouts is closely related to SpO2 levels. Tracking my data in real-life conditions is very helpful in analyzing my current situation.

b) National Team Trainings:

It allows me to track my individual performance during the high-intensity training sessions we do at national team camps. During intensive training sessions such as Rondos and Small-Sided Games (SSGs), sprint and speed endurance drills, and especially HIIT-based interval runs, I can instantly track my heart rate, SpO2 level and recovery time. This is also very valuable for my trainer to guide me correctly. In addition, by constantly monitoring many parameters from my sleep quality to my stress levels, it provides a holistic picture of my overall health, allowing me to better understand my own limits and areas for development. Thanks to this information, I can perform more consistently, consistently and at a higher level during the professional and controlled camp periods.

I can view the GPS data recorded during my workouts on the map in the HUAWEI Health App; I can see my runs from one wing to another, the speed values I reached during the run, the points where I accelerated and decelerated, my turns and sprints. I can determine the total distance and the intensity areas on the field (for example, which area I ran the most). In general, the HUAWEI WATCH 5 offers sufficient features to monitor my performance on the field.

c) Individual Training

HUAWEI WATCH 5 acts as my personal trainer for individual workouts at the gym. From weight training to HIIT exercises, I can track detailed data such as my heart rate, SpO2 level, and calories burned. Especially in strength training, information such as rest time between sets and decrease in pulse rate play an important role in assessing my fitness level.

After training, I pay extra attention to my stress levels and sleep score using the watch, which plays an important role in keeping our body and mind healthy. HUAWEI WATCH 5 can analyze stress levels using heart rate variability (HRV) data. In this way, I can better analyze the relationship between my sleep patterns and stress levels and take precautions, because I know that insufficient rest increases stress. [4] When the watch tells me that I have had enough rest and my stress levels are low, I know that I have the energy I need for high performance.

On my own time, I also like to take an ECG with the watch to detect possible cardiovascular risks. This watch allows me to effectively monitor my heart health during training and makes me feel confident.

Key Tools and Metrics for Sustainable Performance Improvement

HUAWEI WATCH 5 can measure basic health indicators in a short time. I can track this data on both my watch and my phone at the same time and generate health reports. Patterns in basic measurements can indicate changes in our health and fitness, which makes HUAWEI WATCH 5 data very valuable.

a) Heart rate (Pulse): Heart rate monitoring improves my training quality, reduces my risk of injury and helps me perform better in matches. For example; a high resting heart rate measured after training or in the morning may still indicate that I am tired. In this case, I rest or do only light exercise instead of heavy training, thus reducing my risk of injury. I found the high heart rate warning during training very valuable.
