Wearable technology and its applications in the field of training and sports performance

Abstract

he study aimed to introduce wearable technology and its uses by defining its nature and its
applications in the field of training and sports performance, using the content analysis
approach.Where the researcher analyzed a number of scientific studies that dealt directly or
indirectly with the study of scientific topics related to wearable technology in the field of sports
science in general and sports training in particular. In collecting these studies, the researcher
relied on a set of databases, including (springer, plos, nature, mdpi, frontiersin, humankinetics).
In the end, it became clear that among the most important applications and uses of wearable
technology in the field of training were: measuring and monitoring training loads, analyzing
sports performance, predicting and preventing sports injuries, and scientific research in the same
field. Thus, the researcher recommends both trainers and researchers in This field exploits these
technologies to improve both performance and athletic achievement, as well as scientific research
