Sport scientists at UiT are vital when attempting to analyze and gain insights from voluminous quantified data obtained from athlete user groups.  Such user groups include several Norwegian elite soccer clubs and their youth academies, and previously included Norwegian national soccer teams (A-team and U-21 men).  Current efforts include other sports like, for instance, cross-country skiing.
