Sports Technology
Description
This textbook aims to encompass the broad diversity of sports technology by featuring contributions from over 30 authors within their respective specialized fields, summarizing the latest insights concisely. The work is structured into five main sections: Data Acquisition Systems, Sports Equipment and Materials, Diagnostics, Evaluation and Communication, and Selected Fields of Application.
Students with a connection to sports science gain a comprehensive understanding of sports technology supported by a carefully designed concept that facilitates easy delivery of learning content. Digital learning cards (SN Flashcards) reinforce the learning effect and ensure optimal exam preparation. For advanced learners, in-depth discussions on topics such as tracking data, digital training assistants, sports floor characteristics, virtual reality in sports, smartphone apps, and diagnostic tools offer additional value.
