Literature Review Log B-PD 323 Dissertation Name: Jonathan Bruce Student Number: My research topic SPORTS EVOLUTION AND REVOLUTION IN THE DIGITAL WORLD Research questions How will the evolution and revolution in the digital world help to enhance the experience of the players? The purposes of the literature review Relevant point to include in relation to your own research topic Key references Historical background Looking at the various ways that sports technology has evolved from manual paperwork analysis to now becoming digital Contemporary context This will be about how sensors are being developed and how it will make a better sports market Theories and concepts There are loads of products out there but there is difference between the type of sensors and software Relevant terminology The relevant terminology would be the new products that are being introduced onto the sports market to develop the player's skills or get a better understanding on their performance. Previous research and its limitations (the gap in existing knowledge) Technology is always evolving and new sensors are being evolved The significance of the issue being research This research question effects multiple levels of the sports market; for example, with a tennis club, the smart sensor allows the player to get feedback, the coach to analyze the player and create a better work schedule and the head coach to analyze the coaches effectiveness Other Baumeister, Roy F., and John Tierney. Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength. New York: Penguin, 2011. Print. My research topic "Willpower" Research questions How can Willpower effect a player or a coach? The purposes of the literature review Relevant point to include in relation to your own research topic Key references Historical background Looking at David Blaine and how he could overcome beating the Guiness world record for holding his breath and how to strengthen his willpower "That's where training comes in, it gives you the confidence to pull through a situation that isn't so easy" Page 127 Contemporary context This got him into the habit of doing things which built his self esteem "He got into the habit of continually setting goals that he had to be met, like running so far everyday, or jumping to grab a leaf from the branch of a certain tree everytime he walked under it. Page 127-8. Theories and concepts The theory is setting small goals and achievements will help the player and coaches long term as this is building up their confidence and self esteem. Relevant terminology The relevant terminology would be the new products that are being introduced to get a better understanding on their performance. Previous research and its limitations (the gap in existing knowledge) The significance of the issue being research This section is vital to everyone in the sports market and having the mental advantage over any other player has a dramatic effect on their performance. "when you try to ignore unfinished tasks, your unconscious keeps fretting about them in the same way that an ear worm keeps playing an unfinished song." Page 249 Other Anderson, Chris.

My research topic "Makers: The new industrial revolution" Research questions How will world react to the evolution and revolution of the digital era The purposes of the literature review Relevant point to include in relation to your own research topic Key references Historical background Looking at the various ways that technology has evolved from manual work to creating a system on a computer that will save the average man 4 hours a day Page 75 Contemporary context This will be about how technology being developed and how it will make a better world Theories and concepts There are loads of products out there but there is difference between the type software that is being used to affect different target markets differently Page 250 Relevant terminology The relevant terminology would be the new software and technical advances being created in the new modern age Previous research and its limitations (the gap in existing knowledge) Technology is always evolving, new and innovative concepts are always being thought of and the average day to day human is becoming smarter due to the resources at hand. The significance of the issue being research The new industrial revolution will effect the whole world and fighting technology will only make a company stagnant and frozen in the market. For a company to progress they have to adapt and accept technology Other Journal of Sports Sciences. London: Taylor and Francis., n.d. Print. Journal of Sports Sciences Volume 27, 2009 - Issue 13 The use of sports science in preparation for Olympic competition Page 1421-1431 My research topic Research questions How to create an innovative product which suits the markets needs The purposes of the literature review Relevant point to include in relation to your own research topic Key references Historical background This book publishes research on various aspects of the sports and exercise sciences, including anatomy, biochemistry, biomechanics, performance analysis. I will be focusing more on performance analysis. It is concluded that the performance improvement index could be extended to amateur as well as elite sport where distance or time is used as a measure of performance. Page 1421 Contemporary context This will be about how technology being developed and how it will make a better players through analysis Theories and concepts There are loads of products out there but there is difference between the type software that is being used to affect different target markets differently "Technological developments in simple equipment such as the pole vault or javelin were seen to affect the index by around 30%, while the index associated with aerodynamic improvements in the one-hour record was around 100%". Page 1435 Relevant terminology The relevant terminology would be the new software and technical advances being created in the new modern age Previous research and its limitations (the gap in existing knowledge) There is lots of research on sports analysis, but I want to find out how it effects the players and the coaches and how technology can close the gap with communication and a clear understanding on what part of the player's ability needs to change to get them to achieve their goals.
