Contemporary technology procedures in elite sport: application of scientific findings in training

General and information technologies have become an important supporting aspect of many sports. Coaches increasingly rely on researchers for evidence-based information and guidelines on how to use this information in training. In some cases, athletes request from their coaches to use new methods and new technologies in communication and training implementation as well as in the monitoring and control of sports preparation programmes. In sports, science and new technologies are used to improve sports preparation so as to increase the performance of the athletes and the accuracy of preparedness diagnostics, as well as to improve planning and programming of the activities in order to plan for the peaking and tapering for the most important competitions. This paper reviews three aspects of application of new technologies in sport: diagnostics, training methodology and planning and programming. Using new equipment, diagnostics procedures, training load monitoring and scientific research findings on the recovery and tapering for the most important competitions, the athlete and the coach can achieve a significant improvement of the abilities, characteristics and skills of the athlete, which leads to better results at the competitions. New technologies in sport offer great benefits and efficiency in planning and programming of the training, diagnostics of preparedness levels of the athletes, implementation of training or competition, and the efficiency of recovery.
