Abstract: Abstract Schlegel and Hill outline the megatrends of sport in Australia and introduce an additional megatrend, the use of sports technologies, which they explore in more depth. They then argue that sports technologies—wearables, internet of things (IoT) applications, media, and communications—can provide the basis for validation, technology transfer, and diffusion of knowledge into fitness, wellness and health, as well as occupational health, safety, and defense. They explain how sports technologies impact multiple verticals including insurances, stadium infrastructure and maintenance, and sport broadcasting. Finally, they explore the challenges presented by the use of sports technologies including the barriers to open standards, security, and privacy.
