UTILIZING VIDEO TECHNOLOGY IN SPORTS SCIENCE

Authors: Charikleia Patsi* & Evaggelinou Christina

ABSTRACT

Video technology is a digital intervention practice that enhances the understanding of movements and the improvement of athletes’ performance. The purpose of the study was to assess how video feedback can improve athletic performance and how it contributes to the understanding and visualization of sporting behavior. To achieve this, a literature review was conducted, encompassing eight studies published between 2017 and 2024. Utilization was made of search engines such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. The analysis utilized a sample of 189 athletes, which included 158 male and 31 female participants from the sports of football, futsal, and American football and investigated the effects of video feedback in sports coaching and its consequent impact on athletic performance. Results indicated that video feedback is a significant digital intervention tool for enhancing athletes’ performance in training. The application of video technology enabled athletes to more readily discern errors, thereby facilitating adjustments to their movements for ongoing enhancement. Ultimately, athletes who received video feedback of their recorded performance were able to share, comprehend, strategize and identify areas for improvement.
