Abstract:
The field of physical education and sports wields substantial influence over the impact of technology in our lives, an impact that extends to the well-being of the whole individual, encompassing both body and mind. Information technology assumes a pivotal role in the human experience, particularly in the context of sports and games, where its integration is rapidly expanding. For example, novel devices serve various purposes, aiding referees in decision-making and quantifying athlete performance during games, thus assisting coaches in tailoring training programs and game strategies. It mitigates errors in the organization and administration of sporting events on a global scale. The application of information technology in sports has given rise to a scientific discipline, fostering research endeavors, advancing learning and coaching methods, conducting biomechanical analyses, and contributing to field research. Notable areas where technology influences sports and games include cricket, athletics, and basketball. In this domain, five compelling technologies have emerged: instant replay, sensor tools, timing systems, RFID chips, and equipment development.
