The Liga Portugal Bwin is the first football league worldwide to use an official match ball with a tracking sensor inside. The league, SELECT and KINEXON put together a test case regarding accuracy, dependability and a possible implementation of ball and player tracking; and they found a clear answer to whether live data helps make a league more attractive for fans, media and sponsors.
Handball players belong to the risk group for knee injuries. According to VBG (2021), these are among the second most common injuries in handball at 13.7%. Such injuries, such as patellar tendinitis — commonly known as a jumper’s knee — can be prevented through the use of tracking systems.
