We are fully in the technological era, which has had an impact on the day to day of our lives whether we want it or not. In the last 15 years, the panorama in work, leisure, communication, transport, education, etc. has totally changed. And also in sports.<\/p>\n
In each of the different sports that exist, technology has had more or less importance, and more or less prominence depending on the characteristics, nature and evidently potential and economic resources of them in all its areas.<\/p>\n
In football specifically we have detected that technology has contributed, among others, in 3 interesting facets that we will try to describe and exemplify: Conditional improvement and control, tactical performance, and help and support in refereeing.<\/p>\n
The first of the areas where technology has had a breakthrough and has allowed to bring football closer to science, has been in terms of physical preparation or also called conditional.<\/p>\n
In this field, technology has helped to professionalize it a lot by helping to control training loads and providing quality in the collection of data that was previously impossible to collect and had to be evaluated by eye. Some examples of this, may be the GPS that collect data on routes, distances, speeds, etc. or gadgets with built-in software to make strength assessments such as contact platforms, force gauges, etc.<\/p>\n
