Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Technology has revolutionised the world of sport, improving both the performance of athletes and the experience of spectators. Smart devices such as sports watches and fitness bands allow athletes to monitor their performance in real time, adjusting their training to optimise results. These devices collect data on heart rate, speed, distance traveled and other crucial parameters, providing valuable information to improve performance.
Nanosensors, meanwhile, are transforming the way athletes’ health and fitness is assessed. These tiny devices can be integrated into sportswear or even the body, constantly monitoring health indicators such as hydration levels, muscle fatigue and recovery. This information enables coaches and sports doctors to make informed decisions to prevent injuries and improve recovery.
In addition, technology, in general, has improved the accuracy of decision-making during competitions. Systems such as VAR in football or Hawk-Eye in tennis ensure that refereeing decisions are fairer and more accurate. In short, the integration of smart devices, nanosensors and other technologies into sports not only improves the performance and health of athletes, but also enriches the fan experience and fairness in competitions.
