An impressive detail of the 2023 China Open. The audience found that the electronic line management system was used by China Open for the first time. Compared with the "semi-automatic" mode of "manual line management+eagle eye challenge", the electronic line management is upgraded to "fully automatic" punishment, which greatly reduces misjudgments.

Wear AR ski goggles to see real-time ski speed, track, route navigation and other information; Take part in the Meta Universe Community Games, and ride an intelligent bike to have a digital road bike race every other day; After running the marathon, you can immediately download the personal video collection... In recent years, with the deep integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data with sports, the scientific content in the sports field is getting higher and higher.

In today's world, science and technology play an increasingly prominent role in sports. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "to build a sports power, it is necessary to achieve a high level of sports science and technology self-reliance." Use robots to engage in translation, cleaning, navigation and other services to improve the efficiency of the event; Promote green power supply and intelligent infrastructure to make sports venues low-carbon and environmentally friendly; From the "digital man" who lit the main torch of the Hangzhou Asian Games to the newly upgraded table tennis trainer robot at the 6th China International Import Expo... the innovative practice of technology empowerment has injected new momentum into the high-quality development of the sports industry.

In recent years, the integration of sports and science and technology has become a trend. Many places actively explore, strengthen the application of intelligent technology, create immersive outdoor sports experience space, and accelerate the construction of a higher level public service system for national fitness. With a view to the future, we still need to continue to innovate in practice, so that science and technology can better empower sports, and relevant achievements can benefit more people.

With the help of advanced technology, the new atmosphere of the event will be stimulated. In the high-level events and training of foot basketball, track and field, table tennis and badminton net and other events, technologies such as auxiliary referee system, big data analysis, companion training robot and so on have become increasingly mature and become important "infrastructure". In such intellectual sports as Go, chess, and chess, AI has become an important tool to improve the competitive level. The promotion and application of high-tech can not only improve the professionalism of the competition, but also help reduce the threshold for watching the game. For example, in the broadcast of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, Hangzhou Asian Games and other competitions, the athletes' air overturning movements and the distribution of the drop points of table tennis were tracked and simulated, which greatly improved the experience of watching the games. In the future, we should continue to make efforts in such aspects as event broadcasting and sports performance analysis, and strengthen technical support to keep pace with the times.

Promote intelligent equipment and cultivate new sports formats. Sitting on the rowing machine, with the help of the virtual simulation technology of the head mounted display device, you can feel the fun of paddling the sea, lakes, rivers and other different scenes. With the popularization of intelligent wearable devices and the acceleration of the digitalization process of the fitness industry, sports are increasingly expanding its connotation and extension. New forms such as intelligent fitness, cloud events and virtual sports enrich people's choices. Virtual sports break the restrictions of time, venue and other factors, which is conducive to enriching the sports scene. Try every means to make intelligent devices more accessible and convenient, so that ordinary people have the opportunity to try hard and difficult projects, which is conducive to the birth of new sports formats and better meet the needs of the people for a better life.

Make good use of big data to create new sports experience. On the intelligent playground, after the students finish the standing long jump, the system can report the results immediately, and display the image analysis such as the takeoff angle on the big screen; In the intelligent gym, just scan the QR code, and the information such as the heart rate and energy consumed during personal exercise will be displayed on the mobile phone in real time. Thanks to the maturity of 5G, big data and human motion pose capture technology, it is possible to produce, collect and analyze large quantities of motion data. Activating data elements and making good use of data analysis will not only help to create a scientific training closed-loop of "test training test improvement", open up a new blue ocean of sports industry development, but also promote the construction of a sports power.

Build the foundation for people's health and add color to a better life. Open your horizon, seize the opportunity, and run on the fertile field of innovation, which will certainly promote the "sports+science and technology" to produce more fruitful results.
