With the transition to the information society, digitalization has emerged as a multifaceted paradigm that transforms not only daily life practices but also disciplines such as education, health, sports, and recreation. This process of transformation necessitates a reevaluation of both pedagogical approaches and research methodologies within the field of physical education and sport sciences. Today, digital technologies play a decisive role in a wide range of areas, from course content and training models to performance measurement and classroom management.

The compilation titled "Research on Physical Education and Sports in the Digitalizing World" is shaped by the original studies of academics aiming to respond to the demands of the era and contribute to scientific knowledge through innovative research. The chapters in this book provide a multidimensional platform for discussing not only the opportunities offered by digitalization but also the accompanying social, pedagogical, and ethical issues.

Abdullah Yıkılgan and Zeynep Yıkılgan's study elaborates on “The Enrichment of Course Content with Digital Tools: The Relationship Between Educational Technologies and Active Learning”, while Muhammed Emin Dertli and Seda Erden Dertli contribute with a scientific mapping technique examining “Trends in Green Sports Technologies and Sports Informatics.” Davut Budak and Şükran Dertli's “Psychosocial Analyses in the Context of Skiing” emphasize an interdisciplinary approach, whereas Buket Şeran’s chapter on “A Personalized Training Model Based on the Menstrual Cycle” draws attention to training designs sensitive to the physiological needs of female athletes.

Moreover, the work of Muharrem Ogan, Zübeyr Cinisli, and Mehmet Karasu, which focuses on “Pregnancy and Early Nutrition in the Context of Industrial Societies,” and the study by Necip Fazıl Kishalı and Mustafa Berat Gökçenoğlu examining “Classroom Management Models in Physical Education Lessons in the Digital Context,” are among the significant contributions that enhance the comprehensiveness of this volume.

This book aims to contribute to the body of theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of physical education and sport sciences in an increasingly digitalized world and to serve as a reference for researchers and practitioners in the field.
