Professional sports encounter Big data

With two top players on the pitch, the audience sitting around the sidelines, instead of concentrating on the pitch, looked at the various pad, smartphone or laptop computers in their hands.


such scenes, although not yet appearing in the WTA year-end finals of Li Na and Xiao http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/32469.html "> Williams", are expected to appear soon, as technology, In particular, digital technology is rapidly changing contemporary professional sports. In more and more sports, competitive competitions, the performance details of the contestants will be digitized statistical analysis, timely reflection to different terminals, and immediately affect the game in progress.


Science and technology involved in professional sports competition, so that the sport is not humane, or more human?


says the impact of digital technology on professional sports comes from the United States. The four major professional leagues in North America are increasingly reliant on digital technology. The Moneyball, a decade ago, focused on the scenes where digital technology was used to analyze players ' performance in the baseball League. The book was made into a film, starring Brad Pitt, and has pushed a new level of digital survival in the world of professional sports.


has also received more digital statistical analysis from football in Europe. A decade ago in Europe, there were only two data analysis companies that provided simple data analysis for each of the top football clubs, with semi-automatic and semi artificial methods. For ten years, Prozone, Opta and other data companies have been doing well, and no exclusive data analysis provider of the club has not dared to pose as the Giants. A global market for professional sports data has been formed.


Tennis Professional data and software provider SAP has joined the WTA sponsors. Once again defeating Li Na's little Willie, who had access to real-time data services earlier, she said she had become a beneficiary from the initial data skeptic. Her boyfriend, French tennis coach Muratgro, a data maniac, insists that data from providers is more accurate than the manual data recorded by coaches, and that digital technology will have a fundamental boost to tennis.


but the international sports arena remains controversial about the extent to which data services are used.


after all, the data provider's system is not fully mature, for a player on the pitch of the running distance, speed, response to a variety of ball response, etc., to provide a delicate analysis and induction, data providers need to do more professional efforts.


Some basic data, including the service point, the opponent's habitual access to the service line, and even some players in the face of the break point, such as the performance of the existing technology can be quite clear, but these may cause "she is cheating!" The controversy has even affected the performance of Tennis masters.


again, for example, this season, the Premier League began to start the "Eagle Eye" system, used to determine whether the ball at the end of the overall crossing the door line, as the basis for determining whether the goal. These technological means will face great pressure before they are put into operation, but they will be implemented smoothly as long as the technology is mature.

The digitalization of
professional sports is related to the rapid growth of its own commercial interest, but it is the full application of modern scientific and technological means. The higher the degree of professionalism, the more often it can enjoy the services of modern scientific and technological means. Although the use of data in the process, there will be the traditional sports habits are affected even the loss of regret and doubts, such as "How do you use the figures to describe the beauty of the Federer SLR?" However, the trend of digital development will inevitably become a major trend of sports. The world so, has been behind a step of Chinese sports, must keep up.
