⚽ The VAR Debate: Enhancing Fairness or Slowing Down the Game? Since its introduction, Video Assistant Referee (VAR) has been one of the most polarizing innovations in football. While it’s been a game-changer in improving the accuracy of decisions, the amount of time it takes to review plays has sparked debate. 💡 The question is: At what cost? On one hand, VAR has been instrumental in correcting crucial errors, ensuring that offside calls, fouls, and handballs are judged fairly. However, the long delays during matches can disrupt the flow, frustrate players, and, most importantly, disengage fans both in the stadium and watching at home. Time management is now one of the key challenges for football organizations. Fans want accuracy, but not at the expense of the game’s rhythm. Should the focus be on speeding up the review process, improving communication with spectators, or rethinking how VAR is used altogether? As VAR continues to evolve, it’s essential for leagues and governing bodies to strike a balance between fairness and fluidity. After all, football is not just about the right decision—it's about the passion and energy that makes it the world's most popular sport. #VAR #FootballInnovation #FanExperience #FootballTechnology #SportsTech #UEMStudyAbroadPT

Defining Worst-Case-Scenario Thresholds in Soccer: Intensity Versus Volume ‘Conclusions: The study emphasizes that WCS used alone may not sufficiently capture real match intensity. Considering the time spent above specific thresholds provides additional insights (ie, between-levels differences and position). Practitioners should consider both WCS and time spent above thresholds for individualized training prescriptions, reflecting differences in playing roles.’ https://lnkd.in/e6JiHHUD
