Could Technology Be More Important Than The Athletes Using It?
Sports have a greater prominence world wide than they have ever had before, and for many people, the only acceptable outcome is victory…no matter what the cost. Many teams and individuals have broken moral boundaries in the pursuit for victory, including drug use, opposition sabotage and even faking handicaps. As sporting bodies crack down on this type of rule-abuse however, many are turning to technology to improve their chances. Lets take a look a few ways in which technology can help sporting performance.
Training Conditions. There used to be a time that you trained when and where you could. You might find yourself training in a nearby field one day and your neighbour’s garden the next. However, now elite athletes can train in special environmental simulation rooms to get into shape. In these rooms the trainers can vary temperature, air pressure, humidity, oxygen levels and whole host of other things using special equipment. This allows the replication of any environment, from altitude training to exercising in a very hot and humid country, and if you train in these conditions the body will adapt quite quickly.
More Advanced Equipment. There has been a constant evolution of sporting equipment ever since people first started competing in events. Depending on the sport, equipment can play an incredibly important role in performance.Compare something as simple as swimming costumes to how they looked a couple of decades ago, or how advanced archery bows now look. Advances in technology and materials are arguable as important as the athlete training, and provide us with such amazing things as carbon fibre mountain bikes and hydrogen filled running shoes.
Monitoring Tools. One of the most important developments in sporting technology, and one that shouldn’t be overlooked, is our ability to very closely monitor athlete’s performances. This might be the study of ones metabolic rate during performance for example, or the videoing and replaying of performances at incredibly high frame rate and definition. A company in Australia have even developed pressure pads in surfboards that can relay information about a surfer’s board positions and balance. By identifying weaknesses in performance, even on a minute level, you can gain the upper hand on the opposition if you rectify it.
