Zusammenfassung	Time-motion analysis with GPS and micro-sensor technology quantifies the movement patterns, workload, and physical demands during training or match play in team sports. Pioneered by Osgnach and colleagues (2010), modern GPS units track athletes' positions in real-time, calculating distance covered, velocity profiles, and acceleration/deceleration frequencies. Combined with heart rate and other sensor data, GPS analysis provides comprehensive workload quantification enabling coaching staff to monitor player fatigue, balance training intensity, and prevent injury. GPS is now standard in elite soccer, rugby, Australian Rules football, and other intermittent sports.	The acute-chronic workload ratio (ACWR) is the ratio of acute training load (typically the past 1 week) to chronic training load (typically the rolling 4-week average). Formalized by Tim Gabbett (2016), ACWR is a widely adopted metric for predicting injury and illness risk in sports. The logic is straightforward: rapid increases in training load—when acute load spikes far above what the athlete has adapted to—exceed tissue tolerance and increase injury risk. Conversely, maintaining ACWR within optimal ranges (typically 0.8-1.3) is associated with better performance and lower injury incidence. ACWR monitoring is now standard in elite sports for load management.
