“lpmSoccer3D® offers us extensive possibilities to measure and monitor the football load on a conditional area. This aids us in correctly planning and dosing the training pressure, whereby we increase the gains from training. We can then prevent the team or individual players from becoming over or under trained. This is paid back in a fitter team, better performance and fewer injuries.”
