The Future of Wearable Technology in Enhancing Sports Performance
Author(s): Sudhir, Naveen Sangwan
Abstract:
Wearable technology has profoundly transformed sports performance by delivering real-time data and insights into an array of physiological and biomechanical parameters. The scope of this paper delves deeply into the current advancements in wearable technology, encompassing devices such as fitness trackers, smartwatches, heart rate monitors, and sensor-embedded clothing, all of which have become integral tools in the modern sports landscape. These devices enable continuous monitoring of vital metrics, including heart rate, movement patterns, muscle activity, and even recovery times, offering a comprehensive view of an athlete’s physical condition at any given moment. By harnessing this real-time data, coaches can make informed decisions on training intensity, recovery periods, and strategies for injury prevention, tailoring each aspect to the athlete’s unique needs and conditions. In addition to analysing current technologies, this paper also forecasts the future impact of wearable technology on the sports industry. AI and ML will allow wearables to not only gather data but also interpret it in real-time, providing athletes with instant feedback and recommendations that adapt dynamically to their performance and health status. These advancements will not only enhance individual performance but also contribute to broader trends in sports science, influencing everything from coaching methodologies to sports medicine. As wearable devices continue to evolve, they will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in the future of sports, offering invaluable insights and opportunities for athletes, coaches, and sports scientists alike to push the boundaries of human performance.
