Abstract

This study describes how well Dutch football players' training loads can be tracked using wearable fitness equipment. In contemporary sports, this kind of technology has grown in popularity, providing chances to enhance training regimens and raise player performance. This study uses a mixed-methods approach that combines literature evaluation and empirical research to investigate the effects of wearable devices on training load monitoring, player development, and injury prevention within the particular context of Dutch football. The research was based on primary data analysis to determine the research using SPSS software and generated results that included correlation coefficient analysis, chi-square analysis, paired descriptive statistical analysis, and control charts between them. Results show that wearable technology can improve performance and lower the risk of injury while addressing issues like data privacy and technological constraints. The overall research found a positive and significant relationship between wearable fitness technology and monitoring training load in Dutch footballers. The study recommends maximizing the use of wearable fitness technology in Dutch football training programs and adds to the continuing conversation about utilizing technology to promote athlete development in football.

Keywords: Efficacy (E); Wearable Fitness Technology (WFT); Monitoring Training Load (MTL); Dutch Footballers (DF); Statistical Analysis.
