Invited Speaker 2：

Prof. Paweł Chmura

Wrocław University of Health and Sport Sciences, Poland

Research Areas: Performance analisis, exercise physiology, physical activity, team games, soocer, sport science

Speech Title: "The concept of psychomotor fatigue threshold (PFT) as a new quality in sports training"

Brief Introduction(click):

Over the past fifteen years, I started my scientific adventure and got three further academic promotions at the Wroclaw University of Health and Sport Sciences and previously University School of Physical Education in Wroclaw, Poland. In 2010, I finished a master’s degree in terms of coaching specialization; in 2014, I completed a Ph.D. thesis; and in 2019, I received a postdoctoral degree (habilitation) for scientific achievements. Moreover, in 2021, I obtained postgraduate studies in "Management in Sport" at the SGH Warsaw School of Economics. My Ph.D. dissertation project, entitled “Changes in maximum power in repeated short-term efforts as a measure of phosphagen capacity”, examined a series of maximal repetitions with varying break times to maintain maximum power over a long period of time. I described how soccer players react in terms of various physiological and biochemical parameters. After my PhD, I became more interested in the analysis of the physical and technical activity of professional soccer players. Most of my scientific interests focus on issues such as: applied exercise physiology in team sports; monitoring external and internal load, fatigue, and recovery in athletes; diagnostics of exercise capacity; carrying out tests to measure speed, endurance, strength, power, and coordination; perception of effort, etc. Fitness preparation and repeated maximum efforts are also an area of my interest. Currently, I consider performance analysis to be a strong advantage, and I am dynamically publishing in this field. So far, I have published as the first author or co-author of more than 100 articles and scientific reports in international, high-ranked Journals. I have accumulated more than 190 IF points so far. In the last year (2023), I published 17 papers and gained 58.500 IF. The number of citations according to Web of Science on March 14, 2024, was 662; the Hirsch Index was 15. In Research Gate, the number of citations is 1034, and according to Google Scholar, it is 1318.
