Synopsis
Although the concept of sport varies in general meaning, one of the most common definitions is the competition activities according to the branch in which there is physical and mental competition based on competition within the framework of the rules. Today, the most confused concept is sport and physical education and sport. Physical Education and Sports include recreational activities for physical fitness without competition. However, in sports, in addition to physical fitness, a continuous development based on competition and an error-free performance come to the fore. Data are very important for coaches, athletes and managers to evaluate this performance. Examining, organising and evaluating the data to evaluate performance indicators ensures that all situations arising in performance indicators are addressed. Performance indicators in sports can be taken with technological tools in three ways: during training, during the competition and after the competition. The most objective and tangible form of these indicators is the meaning of the real values shown by the athlete in the competition environment can give many feedback to sports scientists. These technological tools are used in almost all sports branches in measuring the real reactions shown during the competition.
In this research, we will evaluate how this field will give direction to science by seeing the technological sportive performance measurement tools that will give direction to all branches of sport in the future.
