ABSTRACT
The relentless progression of technology, coupled with the expansion of informatics, has ushered in a multitude of advantages for physical activity and sports. These benefits encompass a broad spectrum, ranging from the utilization of advanced equipment in training to the analysis and interpretation of training observations. Notably, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a paradigm shift, mandating remote access as an indispensable mechanism for sustaining a healthy lifestyle, particularly in fields such as education. This transformation has given rise to a diverse populace, encompassing individuals seeking to preserve their well-being through physical activity and athletes engaged in remote training. Concurrently, the challenges posed by transportation constraints and restrictions have engendered solutions within the domain of sports injuries and their treatment. This evolution, facilitated by remote access, has yielded enhanced outcomes in injury management.
