Innovative technologies in sports games: A comprehensive investigation of theory and practice

Abstract

Our analysis of sports science literature and expert assessments has revealed the prevailing trends in the utilization of innovative technologies in elite sports. Wearable technology, encompassing fitness trackers, heart rate monitors, and GPS watches, stands as the most widely adopted category among national team coaches in 20 European countries, particularly for training athletes in sports games. These technologies play a central role in contemporary sports science. Furthermore, our research has highlighted significant disparities in outcomes when comparing cutting-edge sports science and technology with traditional laboratory methods, even under identical experimental conditions. This underscores the essential need for innovative mathematical and statistical approaches to evaluate emerging developments gaining prominence in the field of sports practice. Conclusions.The research results obtained by global trends show that technology is increasingly integral in optimizing athlete training and performance in sports games. Staying updated with these innovations is essential for coaches, athletes, and sports organizations aiming for success at the elite level.
