Technology In Sport Survey

Call For Evidence

In 2012, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers published Sports Engineering: An Unfair Advantage?, a report that examined that effect that technological progress has had professional sporting competition at the highest level.

A decade on, ahead of the 2021 Olympics and Paralympics, the IMechE is seeking expert views on what the main developments have been since and what might be the transformational technologies just over the horizon.

3.How has the pandemic and the delay in the Olympics impacted the sports engineering industry?

4.Is technology encouraging the Olympic games and other elite sports to be less inclusive due to less developed countries lacking funding and therefore accessibility to these new technologies?
