APPLICATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN SPORT
Abstract
Information technology (IT) is conception which integrates modern techniques integrated with modern computer systems and communications. The basic conception of IT makes: knowledge, intelligent system, communication and softer. Conception of IT is wader then conception of equipment (hardware). Information technology was made joining together three basic technologies: microelectronics, communications and PC equipment. Integration of those technologies starts somewhere around fifties – together with commercial computers and after that brings development of several new technologies but most important are: • sensor technologies (industrial sensor, keyboards, mousses, digital cameras), • biotechnology and genetic engineering technology, • robotic (industrial robots) • artificial intelligence (for us very important part of experts systems) • images technologies (modern monitors and printers, LCD displays, high resolution TV monitors) In this paper we compare sports club which is using information technologies and club which is organized in more traditional way. Compeering those two clubs we’re getting data which are showing to us that appliance of information technology is absolutely necessary if our aim are better sports results and investing in information technology is absolutely justified.
