IoT is reforming the world of Sports
In the world of sports, ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) can extremely affect team as well as individual athletes through connected apparel and equipment. With the help of this, coaches, and players are able to shape game strategy, analyze methodology, and customize experience by generated data.
To get the ball rolling, let’s look into the most popular sport in the world – Football. Users are increasingly using IoT devices during training. And recently, we ‘Epsilon’ have developed a wearable device connected with embedded sensors which can allow users to track overall fitness. This device can record player’s speed during play and measure time spent on each area in the game. The purpose of this device is to provide coaches with instant feedback on players’ performance that he can get idea about how many sprints player has achieved during the whole match and accordingly he can improve game performance. The system also generates a heat map of play activity on web portal.
In the game of Basketball, it would seem like a natural sport for IoT application to be integrated as data analysis is becoming heavily relied upon in the sport. Having players take more efficient shots, plus or minus on a player, offensive or defence efficiency, player efficiency rating (PER) all of these data points can have plenty of insight on a player. This device can help players and coaches with feedback on how the player is performing in real time or as data to analyze at the end of practice or matches.
Moreover, in the world of sport, cricket was so keen to embrace ‘Internet of Things’ application. Coaches have not only used the device to improve the monitoring of their players, but also the fan experience. Basically, the fundamental use of ‘Internet of Things’ in sports is in the form of devices that enable a deeper analysis of the game and the player. IoT has legitimated the developments of sensors that seize and record data based on the performance of player. This allows players and their coaches to gather metrics that analyse the performance and efficiency.
In this, sensors plays vital role and hence, used greatly in our device set-up because sensors have the capacity to improve & balance game performance also with the use of sensor, it create fair judgement and increase fan interaction as well. With adoption of technologies, sensors keep on to get smaller which increased quality by having less component and lighter weight.
Overall, Internet of Thing helps to give idea and meaning to recent fitness data. Wearable devices, embedded sensors, hardware design & wireless environment monitoring system are all pieces of the future of sports. Access to a plenty of information that is appropriate, comestible and real time will transform how coaches instruct, encourage, and perform. Smart stadiums and sporting ground will enhance the physical fan experience while connected devices will make remote observer ever closer to being at an event. What will you defeat with Internet of things application in Sports? IoT isn’t a bystander sport, so create your own competitive advantage with the Epsilon IoT platform.
Sports organizations stand to benefit extremely by executing a comprehensive IoT strategy as technologies scale and humans become more inter-connected through different mediums of technology.
