Toni Modrić is Assistant Professor (Docent) at the University of Split, Faculty of Kinesiology, where he also serves as coordinator of the Sports Trainer professional program and deputy head of the Department of Professional Studies. His research focuses on soccer performance analysis, injury epidemiology, training-load monitoring, and research methodology in kinesiology.
Education:
- VSS – University of Split, Faculty of Kinesiology (2011)
- Dr. sc. – University of Split, Faculty of Kinesiology (2022)
Research Interests:
Dr. Modrić’s work centres on conditioning preparation of athletes, performance analysis in soccer, and scientific research methodology. He investigates how training and match loads relate to injury risk, how contextual variables (opponent formation, temperature, pitch surface) influence running performance, and how longitudinal trends affect youth and elite players alike.
Publication Trends:
Across 40+ articles (2011-2025) he repeatedly explores GPS-derived running metrics, muscle-injury epidemiology, and the impact of environmental or tactical factors on match performance. His studies span men’s and women’s soccer, youth academies, and elite European competitions such as the UEFA Champions League.
