The EVOLUTION OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY IN OPTIMIZING ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE IN SPRINT EVENTS - AN INVESTIGATIVE APPROACH

Technological progress has significantly influenced the training and performance of athletes in sprint events, providing new tools for analysing and optimizing training. Modern methods of monitoring physiological and biomechanical parameters allow for a more precise evaluation of individual capacities and athletic progress. The purpose of this research is to investigate athletes' perceptions of the evolution of modern technology in optimizing athletic performance in sprint events and to analyse how modern technologies are perceived and used in sprint training. Research objectives: evaluating the level of knowledge and use of modern technologies among performance athletes.; analysing athletes' perception of the efficiency of modern technologies in improving performance in sprint events; identifying areas in which athletes believe technology can be improved to enhance performance in sprint training; examining the factors that influence the adoption and integration of modern technologies in sprint sports training. Research hypothesis: it is assumed that athletes who use modern technologies in their training believe that these technologies have a significant impact on their performance in sprint events, and that a more frequent integration of these technologies could contribute to optimizing athletic preparation.
