Technology and Innovation in Sport
Innovation in sports technology has a transformative impact across all levels of sports. In elite competitions, innovative gear and data analytics can be the thin line between winning and losing, while also reducing the risk of long-term injury. At the grassroots level, technology plays a dual role: it can democratize access to sports or exacerbate existing disparities in participation. In this session,
emerging and established scholars give insights into cutting-edge research within sports technology and innovation. There will be presentations on topics such as: wearable technologies and the surveillance of athletes, datafication and self-tracking, artificial intelligence, sports performance and coaching, the development and adoption of virtual sports and esports. Following the presentations, the speakers will come together in a panel discussion. Questions will be asked around: How does the widespread
adoption of sports technologies affect access and inclusivity in sports participation? What are the societal implications of data collection and surveillance technologies used in sports?
