Author(s): Dr. Kuljeet Kaur Maheshchand Sharma and Dr. Mahesh Chand Sharma
Abstract:
The domain of physical education and sports wields a profound influence on the integration of technologies into our daily lives, as it meticulously evaluates both the advantages and drawbacks of emerging information technologies on the holistic development of individuals, encompassing their physical wellbeing and cognitive faculties. Information technology assumes a pivotal role in human endeavors, particularly in the realm of sports and games, where its utilization is experiencing exponential growth. For example, novel devices serve diverse purposes such as assisting referees in decision-making processes and quantifying athletes' performances during competitions, thereby enabling coaches to devise bespoke training regimens and game strategies. Moreover, it facilitates error reduction in the organization and administration of various sports events at a global scale. Information technology has engendered a robust scientific discipline within sports, fostering research activities that enhance learning methodologies, coaching techniques, biomechanical analyses, and field research methodologies. Notably, technology's contributions are discernible across multiple sports disciplines, notably cricket, athletics, and basketball. Within the sports industry, five innovative technologies are revolutionizing performance assessment and enhancement: instant replay systems, sensor based tools, precise timing mechanisms, RFID chips for enhanced player tracking, and advancements in equipment development.
