In addition, athletes will have access to performance data that was previously inaccessible in the midst of intense competition.
What’s more, training programmes will become more data-driven, tailored to a specific athlete’s strengths and weaknesses. The Asian Games will be a playground for innovation, with wearable tech and smart equipment contributing to the evolution of sports performance.
The Future of Sporting Events
The lines between the physical and virtual worlds will blur, with both fans and athletes experiencing a level of engagement and excitement that was previously unimaginable.
