The current technological age has created exponential growth in the availability of technology and data in every industry, including sport. It is tempting to get caught up in the excitement of purchasing and implementing technology, but technology has a potential dark side that warrants consideration. Before investing in technology, it is imperative to consider the potential roadblocks, including its limitations and the contextual challenges that compromise implementation in a specific environment. A thoughtful approach is therefore necessary when deciding whether to implement any given technology into practice. In this article, we review the vision and pitfalls behind technology's potential in sport science and medicine applications and then present a critical decision-making framework of 4 simple questions to help practitioners decide whether to purchase and implement a given technology.
当前的技术时代使包括体育在内的各个行业中技术和数据的可得性呈指数级增长。人们很容易被购买和应用技术的兴奋感所吸引，但技术也有潜在的阴暗面，值得我们去思考。在投资技术之前，必须考虑潜在的障碍，包括其局限性以及在特定环境中影响实施的背景挑战。因此，在决定是否将任何特定技术应用于实践时，需要采取深思熟虑的方法。在本文中，我们回顾了技术在体育科学和医学应用中的潜力背后的愿景和陷阱，然后提出了一个由4个简单问题组成的关键决策框架，以帮助从业者决定是否购买和应用特定技术。
