Today, wearable monitoring systems created thanks to technological advances are integrated into the human body and are widely used in many fields from sports to health. These systems, in which multiple disciplines work together simultaneously, provide physiological and biochemical data, enabling the determination of the current situation and the creation of appropriate performance and improvement programs for individuals. In this review study, 23 articles, 4 of which were review articles, published in the Sports Sciences category on the Web of Science database in 2024 were examined using the keywords "wearable technology" and "sports". As a result of the review of these articles, it was determined that 8 articles were not related to the subject of wearable technologies in sports and were removed from the review (19 articles were included in the study). When studies on wearable technology in the field of sports sciences are examined, most studies are conducted on runners, and performance monitoring and injury prevention are among the main reasons for using this innovative technology. Considering the increasing technological developments, it is evaluated that the studies in this field will increase in parallel with this development and will make great contributions to the field of ...
