Sports and physical activity is an area where consumer technology is developing rapidly with GPS watches, heart rate monitors, and apps such as Runkeeper and Endomondo as the most common examples.

Following the overall trend of research in exercise, motivation, and well-being the CHI community is beginning to engage with sports and sports technology. We believe that HCI has important contributions to make in the design and user experience of future sports technology. Moreover, we believe that the HCI discipline will benefit from engaging with sports which present excellent examples of complex and variable settings where traditional interaction models are not sufficient.
