Károly Dobos

Károly Dobos is an Assistant Professor and Researcher at the Hungarian University of Sports Science, affiliated with the Department of Sport Games. He is also linked to the Faculty of Education and Psychology at Eötvös Loránd University. His research focuses on analyzing physical performance metrics in elite junior tennis players, including serve mechanics, training loads, neuromuscular fitness, and tactical movement patterns. He collaborates with Ökrös Csaba's Lab and has published extensively on topics like handgrip force development correlations with serve velocity, offensive vs. defensive strategy impacts on training loads, and anthropometric predictors of tennis success.

Key research interests include tennis-specific physical testing, biomechanics of stroke accuracy, and the role of high-intensity micromovements. His work bridges sports science with applied training strategies, emphasizing evidence-based methods for optimizing athlete performance. With over 20 publications, his studies contribute to understanding both technical and physiological factors influencing tennis competitiveness.

Collaborations span international co-authors and institutions, focusing on youth athlete development and elite performance analysis. His contributions highlight the importance of objective physical metrics in talent identification and training program design, particularly in addressing gender differences and tactical adaptations in tennis.
