Supporting athlete performance, improving spectator experience, and expanding possibilities for everyday fitness.
This department focuses on the connection between sports and information science. Information science, which researches technologies for data collection, analysis, visualization, and optimization, provides new approaches to identifying issues and making improvements in sports based on multifaceted and objective understandings.
For example, sports analytics, a field that uses wearable devices to collect data and footage of athletes' performances and utilizes AI for analysis to help with training and team strategy development, is increasingly being adopted for professional sports in particular. ICT, which visualizes and shares data by tracking ball movement and player activity, also contributes to the development of new services to make viewing sports even more enjoyable. In everyday life, devices with built-in sensors such as smartwatches have become more accessible, making it easier to use individual biometric data for fitness and health.
Sports is a new field where the use of information science is expanding. By acquiring specialized knowledge and advanced skills in information science, you can expect a career in the sports industry, such as on a sports team, at a sporting goods manufacturer, or at a sports tech company.
