Decision Support System for Mitigating Athletic InjuriesPeterson, K.D., Evans, L.C.2019International Journal of Computer Science in SportHRV, DCApplied researchThe purpose of the present study was to demonstrate an inductive approach for
dynamically modelling sport-related injuries with a probabilistic graphical model. Conclusive
Dynamic Bayesian Network suggested subjectively-reported stress two days prior, subjective internal
perceived exertions one day prior, direct current potential and sympathetic tone the
day of, as the most impactful towards injury manifestation.

Digital Based Performance TrainingYan, Q, Liao, T. & Zhang Y.2018Chinese Institute of Sport ScienceHRV, ECG, DC-EEGApplied researchTranslation from Chinese: “Freestyle wrestlers using Omegawave were monitored before and after ultra-low temperature cryotherapy sessions. Many indicators reflecting the athlete's competitive state after cold treatment have been improved, resting heart rate has dropped significantly, cardiac function reserve and degree of adaptation have improved. The Omegawave readiness scores were restored from 3 points to 7 points. Using this technology, coaches obtain the possibility to observe the athlete's recovery state in real time." Yes

Non-Invasive Assessment of Internal and External Player Load: Implications for Optimizing Athletic PerformanceHeishman, A. 2018The Journal of Strength and Conditioning ResearchDC-EEGApplied researchAn increase Player Load during the previous exposure was associated with decreased CMJ (58.7±4.7cm vs 60.4±5.1cm; p<0.001) and increased TRIMP (135.1±35.9 vs 65.6±20.0 AU; p < 0.001), and duration (115.4±27.1 vs 65.56±20.0min; p=<0.001) despite no differences in Omegawave CNS readiness scores.
