IMPACT OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY IN SPORTS SCIENCES: AN OVERVIEW

Dr. Sambhu Prasad

ABSTRACT

Engineering is a creative discipline, and its science is in sync with living science, thus it can be found in almost every element of daily life. It is no surprise that engineering finds its place in sports sciences and so-called sports engineering. Sports engineering can be considered a new engineering discipline, bridging the gap between two distinct fields: sports science and engineering. There is no doubt that engineering and technology have played a vital role in sport, particularly in the design of sports equipment and highperformance athletics, as well as making sports more enjoyable and safe. From tennis rackets to swimsuits, engineers design with the goal of making equipment that is lightweight, fast and strong. High-tech, welldesigned equipment allows athletes to perform at their best while being safe. Energy transfer is the most significant scientific topic for most designed sports equipment. This article provides an insight into the impact of engineering and technology in sports sciences in many ways that turn it into a more exciting and competitive world event than in the past.
