Abstrakt: Problem statement and purpose. The advent of modern technologies has facilitated the conduct of complex research in "real-world conditions," even during competitions. Thereby reducing the financial resources and time required by scientists and coaches to obtain research results. The primary aim of this study was to comprehensively investigate and elucidate contemporary innovative trends in sports science theory. This study aims to assess the practical efficacy and applicability of these innovations in sports preparation through meticulous analysis. By bridging the gap between theoretical advancements and their real-world implementation, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the evolving landscape of innovative technologies in sports games, thereby contributing to the enhancement of sports performance and training methodologies. Approach and methods. Bibliometric techniques were applied in this study to gather highly cited papers in sports sciences published during 2005-2023. The method of expert evaluations was used to determine the modern trends in the use of innovative technologies to improve the effectiveness of elite athletes' preparation. During physical activity, a thorough analysis utilizing diverse methods was performed on 17 women and 24 men, encompassing elite athletes in basketball, handball, and volleyball. The analysis considered both biomechanical and psychophysiological indicators. Mathematical and statistical processing and data analysis were carried out using the computing and graphic capabilities of the computer programs "Statistica" and Microsoft Excel 2010. Results. Our analysis of sports science literature and expert assessments has revealed the prevailing trends in the utilization of innovative technologies in elite sports. Wearable technology, encompassing fitness trackers, heart rate monitors, and GPS watches, stands as the most widely adopted category among national team coaches in 20 European countries, particularly for training athletes in sports games. These technologies play a central role in contemporary sports science. Furthermore, our research has highlighted significant disparities in outcomes when comparing cutting-edge sports science and technology with traditional laboratory methods, even under identical experimental conditions. This underscores the essential need for innovative mathematical and statistical approaches to evaluate emerging developments gaining prominence in the field of sports practice. Conclusions. The research results obtained by global trends show that technology is increasingly integral in optimizing athlete training and performance in sports games. Staying updated with these innovations is essential for coaches, athletes, and sports organizations aiming for success at the elite level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
