Technology in sports: Investment priorities & emerging adoption trends
With the 2016 Summer Rio Olympics opening ceremony having just taken place, it is indeed an opportune time to learn how athletes are increasingly using technology to up their game and performance! Sports technology, particularly – data analytics – has taken great strides recently and is making an impact on all kinds of sports. Technology is being used in several aspects of sports — from training, performance and fan engagement to marketing and broadcast — in various forms that include analytics, smart equipment and decision-making technologies.
Technology not only enables in-depth analysis of the game and athlete’s performance, but it also helps decision-making by capturing exhaustive athlete, equipment, and game-related data, and produce detailed metrics that augment such analysis. While adoption of analytics in sports is among the top priorities, trends such as sensor-based tracking of player performance, fan engagement, digital marketing, and decision-making technologies in sports, are also catching up. Both start-ups as well as large sports technology companies have introduced innovative solutions that cater to the technological needs of various sports.
Netscribes’ latest report titled ‘Technology in Sports: Investment Priorities and Emerging Adoption Trends’ delves deep into this space and provides a thorough understanding of usage of technology in different sports across its varied spectrums.
