Introduction
Internet of things as one of the new branches of information technology has caused a revolution in sports. An interconnected system of physical items, gadgets, or "things" that have connectivity, software, and sensors is known as the Internet of Things. These tools interact and communicate with each other without the need for human interaction; Because they collect and share data through the Internet. IoT equipment such as smart shoes and smart glasses can help improve sports performance, monitor progress and measure players' performance.
Method
In this paper,, we intend to investigate the applications of Internet of Things in sports management. This research is practical in terms of purpose, and in terms of the method of data collection, it is considered a qualitative type of research. For this research, 14 articles were first reviewed, of which 5 articles were used for the final analysis.
Results
In addition to benefits such as preventing injuries and protecting athletes, identifying strengths and weaknesses and analyzing the athlete's condition step by step, monitoring the athlete's performance and motivating and interacting with fans, the Internet of Things has also had a significant impact on sports management. Smart stadiums connect various IoT fitness devices such as cameras, sensors and digital signage to create a remarkable fan experience. IoT-based management solutions provide many benefits to sports venues and stadiums. Monitoring the water level in the bathroom, detecting when the trash cans need to be emptied, or even tracking the number of people in a space to optimize cleaning programs are among the benefits of using this technology in the sports management department. In addition, IoT-based management systems can help improve spectator comfort and safety. Security cameras and other sensors can detect issues like fire or vandalism and immediately alert authorities.
Conclusion
The use of new technologies such as the Internet of Things, along with the scientific and functional progress of physical education trainers, helps them to recognize the talent and better development of young athletes. Smart stadiums are at the forefront of how Internet of Things technology is changing the sports industry. IoT-based management solutions can also help save money by optimizing energy consumption, automating tasks such as ticket scanning, parking management, and reducing the amount of waste generated. Of course, in addition to technical challenges, the lack of knowledge and technology training for human resources in the sports industry and the weakness in the organizational structure based on modern technologies in sports organizations and organizations and the lack of environmental aristocracy of these sports organizations on their capacities. The existing environment is one of the other challenges of this industry.
