Resumo


A intensificação do calendário no futebol profissional tem aumentado a incidência de lesões, com impactos no desempenho esportivo e prejuízos econômicos, especialmente para clubes de elite. Diante disso, este trabalho visa explorar modelos de aprendizado de máquina capazes de prever tais lesões, utilizando dados de dispositivos GPS e o indicador de proporção de carga de trabalho aguda e crônica. O modelo de aprendizado de máquina com o melhor resultado desse estudo conseguiu prever lesões com um F1 score de 93,3%.
Palavras-chave: Predição de Lesões, Futebol Profissional, Dados de GPS, Razão entre Carga Aguda e Crônica (ACWR), Aprendizado de Máquina
