How Technology is Helping Prepare Athletes
Abstract
Technology has become an indispensable ally for athletes and coaches, providing a more efficient and specific preparation, optimizing their training, monitoring their progress and aiming for sports excellence and improving performance. There are various resources and devices whose use is becoming more frequent: sensors that allow receiving real-time information on vital metrics, training in virtual reality environments, biomechanical analysis through 3D images, analysis and study of complex data. In the future it is possible to imagine the world of sports as a fertile field for the advancement of bioengineering.
