The use of geoinformatics in sports has the potential to improve athletic performance and injury prevention. However, a systematic approach to applying geoinformatics in sports is lacking. This paper presents a novel systematic framework for optimizing athletic performance and injury prevention using geoinformatics. The framework integrates geospatial data, GPS tracking, and spatial analysis to provide insights into athlete movement patterns, fatigue levels, and injury risk.The proposed framework comprises four distinct stages: data collection, data integration, spatial analysis, and insight generation. The data collection stage involves the utilization of GPS tracking devices, accelerometers, and other sensors to gather data on athlete movement patterns, fatigue levels, and injury risk. The data integration stage involves the fusion of the collected data into a spatial database. The spatial analysis stage involves the application of advanced spatial analysis techniques to identify patterns and trends in the data. The insight generation stage involves the translation of the results into actionable insights for coaches, trainers, and athletes. The proposed framework has the potential to be applied across various sports and levels of competition, and its findings can inform the development of evidence-based strategies for improving athletic performance and reducing injury risk.
