Sports engineering: From training specialists to creating intelligent systems
The sports technology industry is currently experiencing rapid growth, driven by an increasing focus on fan engagement and satisfaction in stadiums, the desire to improve player and team performance, and the widespread adoption of eSports innovations. This, in turn, predetermined the emergence of a new field of knowledge – sports engineering, which bridges the gap between sports science and engineering developments. The development of this field is supported and stimulated by sports engineers, whose professional training has become one of the tasks of educational institutions in many countries around the world. The research hypothesis is that training and talent development in the field of sports engineering requires an integrated approach that will be based on thematic concentrations of engineering, medical, information and natural sciences. The purpose of the article is to consider the development of the concept of training specialists in the field of intellectual sports engineering through the prism of interdisciplinary integration. Research methods: study of specialized literature, analysis and synthesis, generalization and grouping, modeling, abstraction, systematization. Prospects for the development of sports engineering are outlined. The interdisciplinary connections of sports engineering are formalized, covering classical engineering, sports science and medicine, and sports equipment. The features of teaching sports engineering at the Belarusian National Technical University are described. Recommendations have been developed regarding the creation of engineering sports specializations in educational institutions in Russia. Satisfying public demand for sports engineers involves the implementation of a comprehensive policy for training specialists with the active interaction of government agencies, educational institutions, sports organizations and private companies.
