In 2013 at the Campus Party festival in London, Dr. Stafford Murray presented on the topic “Technological Innovations within the English Institute of Sport”.
“The reason technology is employed in elite sport is to answer a specific performance question”
During his presentation, Dr. Murray outlined the reasons why sports analysis and technological innovations were introduced into the English Institute of Sport Model and how the technology is used to inform decision making at the English Institute of Sport.
“Do not try technology for the sake of trying technology”
10 Case studies were presented to give an insight of how specific technology can be applied to solve problems. In these case studies, Squash was featured. The question that technology was answering as it related to squash was: "How do you replicate performance in training”.
“The implementation of technology is driven by the question that needs to be answered”
