Resumo(s)

Purpose: Technologies such as artificial intelligence or tools such as AR and VR can potentially improve performance in sports. However, not all athletes, coaches, or sports clubs can access these resources. In addition, ethical issues related to data protection need to be considered. This research aims to evaluate the main challenges and potential drawbacks of using innovative technologies in sports, which may have an influence on their measures and the utility of innovative technologies. Design/methodology/approach: Considering Ethics in Sports, Ethical Measures, and Tech Benefits, to evaluate the main challenges and potential drawbacks of tech introduction in sports, which may influence their measures and the utility of innovative technologies, quantitative descriptive research was developed, and statistical analysis was carried out. Findings: This research found that ethical technologies in sports influence ethical measures, but technologies` utility influences ethical measures. It is necessary to broaden knowledge of the complex and dynamic relationships associated with the use of technology, to understand better the advantages and possible disadvantages associated with it, to promote the involvement of the different stakeholders, and to promote long-term engagement–the main consequences of introducing technology into sports influence both the measures and the usefulness of innovative technologies. Research limitations/implications: This study has many limitations, namely that it includes self-reported data and has a cross-sectional design, which may cause a conscious or unconscious bias. Practical implications: Ethical aspects of the use of technology, such as justice and equity, need to be considered. Social implications: It is well known that some technologies and tools, such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality (AR), or virtual reality (VR), can improve performance in sports. However, not all athletes, coaches, or sports clubs have access to these types of resources, which raises an ethical question regarding parity or fairness in competitions.
