Technology is used by sports performers of all levels to maximise their potential and enhance their experience. Therefore, understanding the use and impact of technology in sport and exercise is extremely important to any sports scientist, coach or performer. In this unit, you will examine the impact of technology on sport and exercise.

You will explore the types of technology and personal equipment available to sport and exercise performers and investigate how technology aids sport and exercise performance.

You will then explore how technology is used to measure and analyse sport and exercise performance. Finally, you will examine the ethical considerations that impact on the use of technology in sport and exercise. These studies will help you gain knowledge and understanding of the appropriate technologies used across a range of sporting activities, preparing you for a variety of careers in the sports industry and forming a good basis for higher education study in sport and further qualifications in sport and exercise science.
