MONITORING AND PERIODIZATION OF PERFORMANCE FROM SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY. WHERE ARE WE GOING?

Introduction The concept of monitoring and periodization is a vision that has been developed in the last decade, where it is sought to have control of the internal and external load in athletes of different sports disciplines produced by the process of interaction with exercise prescription variables. that cause changes at the physiological, biochemical, biomechanical, muscular, neuromuscular level, causing tension in the subsystems of human body movement, generating adaptations to a given load, which can be measured through the use of specific technology or indirect tests. Methodology Review of the literature with the combination of keywords such as Monitoring, Performance, sports training toad, Periodization in databases such as Pubmed, Ebsco, Medline, Scopus, Science Direct Results, it was possible to identify 65 articles that refer to the existence of technological tools to carry out a monitoring process and periodization from rehabilitation, prevention, load control, recovery and sports readaptation that allow the generation of statistical data and the creation of profiles from each area of action of the sports physiotherapist. Conclusion Physiotherapy is a profession in charge of many sports processes that must be monitored and allow the generation of data to standardize processes, create performance profiles to facilitate decision-making from the biomedical team and research in high-performance sports merging practice with scientific evidence.
