The September 2020 sports trends explore many different ways that athletes, fans, and individuals are able to stay active and safely take care of their physical health. Companies and fitness centers are curating experiences for individuals to track their performance, maximize their capabilities, and more.
The new launch of the HomeCourt App is one example this month that leverages artificial intelligent technology to bring a fan's sports experience to the comfort of their own homes. With the pandemic, it brought the fan experience to a halt and as sports resume, fans are adopting new ways to support their favorite teams. Another great example this month by done by the Fitstrap back sensor, which optimized athletic training and performance when worn on the lower back.
