Sports Science, Wearable Technologies and Performance Measurement Strategies with Tommy Otley (Miami Hurricanes Basketball)

A conversation between Dr. Lee Kaplan and Tommy Otley, Physical Therapist and Sports Scientist with Miami Hurricanes Basketball. Tommy also manages sports science for both programs, including overseeing team performance technology use, baseline profiling assessments and in-season athlete monitoring. We discuss the role of wearable technologies and data in assessing how athletes are responding to physical load and recovering during long seasons like that of 2023, the importance of reverse engineering your own choice of performance measures based on your personal objectives (i.e., not all data is relevant data), and UHealth and Hurricanes Athletics’ comprehensive approach to returning an athlete to SAFE play after injury.
