Main Introduction


Nowadays technology plays an essential role in sports. Every time is more common that new machines, applications and technologies are revolutionizing the way sports are played, regulated and watched by its fans all around the world.


As its known, lots of new issues have been being developed in order to improve and transform sports. These technologies, as ingestible computers, wearable computers, biomimetics, carbon nanotechnology, computational fluid dynamics, digital imaging and video, information technologies, reactive materials, robotics, tool-less manufacturing and so on, are going to transform every single sport, and consequently the International Sports Management.

This blog that we have created has the purpose of explain how new technologies are transforming the Event Management, Athlete Preparation and the Media and ICTs in Tennis sport.

3D Accelerometers


An accelerometer is a device used to measure the rate of change in velocity over a specific period of time. The use of these devices permit real-time feedback , that’s means that athletes and coaches can make experiments run in the real environment, in these case, during preparation or training.


Accelerometers are characterized for be small and light devices, enough to be placed on any part or segment of the body without alter or complicated the performance. Compared to others technologies they are also very cheap and accessible for every person interesting in play tennis. Accelerometers are now used to measure and classify activity and effort levels.


We think they must use these new technologies in order to have a better preparation, considering that these are accessible and easy to use during training. They can also use these devices to create strategies to improve their performance for future games.
