Abstract

The study thoroughly examines technological advancements and their impact on sports, scrutinising how technological innovations have transformed the practical aspects of sporting activities. Technological advancements have introduced smart tools and devices that have changed how athletes train, monitor performance, and compete. One of the central aspects is the use of smart devices to monitor and analyse athletes' performance. From smartwatches that measure heart rate and calories burned to sensors and advanced technology that track the precise movements of an athlete, these devices provide important data to enhance performance. Additionally, technology has brought new opportunities to motivate people to be physically active through applications and devices that inspire and monitor their physical progress. Thus, users can stay engaged in sports activities and access real-time statistics and feedback. The technological revolution in sports is not without challenges and risks. These include excessive reliance on technology in performance analysis, personal privacy risk data, and the potential compromise of athletes' intuitive skills in favour of data and technological analysis. In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of understanding and properly managing technology in sports to leverage its benefits and minimise risks, thus ensuring the healthy and balanced development of the sports domain.
