The results of the research showed that the attitude variable has a significant effect on the willingness to use IOT technology in sports. The positive and direct effect of the social influence variable on the willingness to use was confirmed; But the relationship of social influence on attitude did not have the appropriate level of significance. Perceived ease of use has a significant effect on the variable of attitude and perceived usefulness, and the effect of perceived ease of use on perceived usefulness was greater. Also, perceived usefulness has a significant effect on the variable of willingness to use and attitude, which has a greater effect on attitude.
