Guest on the GSP podcast “2 to 1”physical trainer Thomas Neubert, 57, said he uses artificial intelligence in training. Specifically, a monitoring system developed with AI. All the details, next.
-
Neubert first arrived in Romania in 2010, brought by Laurentiu Reghecampf, with whom he became known primarily for his success at FCSB, where Thomas was active in three different mandates (2012–2014, 2015–2016, 2020–2026).

The German recently parted ways with the Red-Blues. Now he is in charge of a sports performance and testing center that he opened in Romania.
Thomas Neubert on the GSP podcast “2 to 1”: “Yes, I use artificial intelligence”
Present in the Gazeta Sporturilor studio, in a rare appearance, Neubert stated that he uses AI in training. How?
“I use artificial intelligence. There is a system, «artemYs», for monitoring, a new system, made with AI. After each workout, a profile is made [al fiecărui jucător] with all the muscles in the body: it tells you where there is load, where there is a risk of injury.
I was doing the analysis with the staff and I was saying to the coaches: “Look, players X, Y would be better to do the warm-up and then the recovery in this way, there is a high risk of muscle injury…”. Normally the coaches have accepted and we have worked well with the players using this system“, explained Neubert, on the GSP “2 to 1” podcast.
What is the artemYs system, used at FCSB, that Thomas Neubert talks about:
-
according to evo4hp, artemis is a tool that provides specific data on the load and capacity of each muscle in the body;
-
with the help of AI, it monitors how loaded individual muscles are, not just the overall effort;
-
analyzes the condition of the muscle tissue and the risk of injury;
-
it is used for injury prevention, training optimization and individualized player monitoring.
This season, even if the results were not as good, the number of injuries was similar to what happened in previous seasons. We had about the same number of injured players then. I spoke to the doctor, who is careful about this statistic, but now there is more talk about injuries because of the results

In 2024, Gigi Becali wanted to team up with artificial intelligence 😀
A year and a half ago the FCSB boss had an idea of how he could get even more involved in the life of the team.
“I might increase the duration of the training. I use artificial intelligence and ask for another 15 minutes of training. I order from home and I also stop training when I want!“, declared Becali.
