However, it\u2019s not just activity monitoring hardware that is shaking up the world of sports, we\u2019re also seeing new examples of IoT that are changing the way sports are practised, played and watched.<\/p>\n<p>While the use of IoT on the \u2018centre court\u2019 of sports gets most of the attention, the growing use of smart technology behind the scenes is also pretty exciting. I\u2019ve hand-picked a few of my favourite sports to take a look at where and how IoT is being used.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>Football<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To kick things off, let\u2019s look at arguably the most popular sport in the world &#8211; football, f\u00fatbol, fussball or soccer, depending on where you\u2019re from. From the Premier League to La Liga, clubs are increasingly using smart footballs during training. These track player performance through sensors located on the inside of the ball, as well as in their boots. The purpose of this is to provide coaches with instant feedback on players\u2019 performance, collecting data on aspects such as spiral efficiency, spin rate, distance and throw velocity. Sensors are also being incorporated into team <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/sport\/football\/teams\/tottenham-hotspur\/8378252\/Tottenham-Hotspurs-new-shirts-could-show-how-tired-players-are.html\">kits<\/a>, so club doctors can be alerted to any unusual heart patterns or changes in temperature. But it isn\u2019t just about player performance. Some clubs have introduced <a href=\"http:\/\/luxreview.com\/article\/2017\/06\/football-club-installs-iot-connected-sports-lights-in-world-first\">IoT-connected lighting<\/a> on pitches with \u2018comfort\u2019 levels to reduce glare for fans, as well as minimise energy costs.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>Rugby <\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As far back as 2010, rugby teams have been using IoT to track their players\u2019 locations through devices worn under their clothing, with League One Club, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/sport\/rugbyleague\/6975730\/Bradford-Bulls-trial-of-GPS-could-help-England-close-the-gap-on-Australia.html\">Bradford Bulls<\/a>, being one of the first teams to use satellite positioning systems in a game. Nowadays, the Irish and English national Rugby League teams are using <a href=\"http:\/\/statsports.com\/\">STATsports <\/a>devices to track the wearer\u2019s heart and breathing rates, as well as muscle activity. This means that coaches can spot players that might be feeling the burn and substitute them for a pair of fresh legs, if necessary. More recent advances include sensors being fitted in shoulder pads, also known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scotsman.com\/business\/edinburgh-inventors-create-wearable-rugby-force-sensors-1-4100229\">force sensors<\/a>, which captures data from collisions. This data can then be reviewed by coaches and physiotherapists to determine how players should be treated to best limit or recover from injury.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>Cricket <\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Based on the game-changing variables of a cricket match, for example, the length, the weather and how or when the wicket might break up, it\u2019s no wonder the sport was so keen to embrace IoT. Cricket clubs have not only used the technology to improve the monitoring and wellbeing of their players, but also the fan experience. This year in June, the ICC Champions Trophy was the first ever <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/article-4535034\/Champions-Trophy-set-Smart-Cricket-tournament.html\">\u2018smart cricket\u2019<\/a> tournament, which featured virtual reality, drones, connected stadiums and even batting sensors in a bid to bring the sport alive for fans.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>Tennis <\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the world of sport, tennis is pretty much a veteran when it comes to the use of IoT. Hawk-Eye technology has been used in tennis since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/observer\/cvtf500\/story\/0,,2215222,00.html\">2005<\/a> and tracks the path of the ball in flight, allowing players to challenge controversial decisions made by the umpire. In more recent years, technological devices have been placed in tennis players\u2019 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.babolat.us\/innovation\/tennis\">racket handles<\/a> and sewn into wristbands to measure how well a ball was hit, the motion of the racket in hand and the player&#8217;s overall performance.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, while more technology in sport can be a great thing, it also comes with risks. There\u2019s no doubt that pushing players harder makes for better and more exciting games, but clubs need to ensure all smart devices and data monitoring systems are sufficiently safe and secure. Strong passwords, protected networks and the latest software are all absolutely critical, especially given the money behind modern sports. As it increasingly becomes the norm to store information on the Cloud and with more data being handled than ever before, sport is becoming a different \u2018ball game\u2019 to what it once was. For example, poorly secured IoT devices could be vulnerable to hacking, theft of personal data or even corporate espionage &#8211; the stakes are high.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an exciting but important time for the fusion of sport and technology. As time goes on I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll see further developments as IoT becomes more commonplace, in sport, just as we\u2019ve seen in other industries. The balancing act will be ensuring the technology adds to the game, doesn\u2019t detract from the abilities of the players &#8211; and of course, doesn\u2019t pose a security issue for clubs, teams and associations.<\/p>\n<p>To keep up-to-date with the latest cybersecurity news, take a look at the McAfee Security blog <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.mcafee.com\/category\/consumer\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog post was written by Nick Viney.
