How Technology Effects Sports Performance


In every sport, technology plays a big role in the way you train. It could be weight lifting, running on a treadmill or using computers to track your golf swing. With out technology, no one would ever improve at the sport they play.

Because of this new technology, golfers have taken full advantage. Golfers are probably the biggest technology users in the sporting world. These guys have thought of every thing. They have special tees to take your slice out of your swing. There is also a golf club called a medicus club. This club actually bends if you swing it wrong! Also there is a vest on your swing. Like I said, golfers have thought of every thing.

As a result of this amazing technology, treadmills have been specially designed to skate on. Bow flex machines have also biggest advancement in technology.
They have a new system of moving the weights with less resistance so you don’t get hurt



Technology has affected Basketball as well. There are things that you can strap to your shoes that make you jump higher. They are shoe soles that have springs in them but they also have weights in them. It is one of the most genius piece of technology ever made. They work by pushing you up with the springs and pulling you down with the weights. Like I said, it is an amazing piece of technology.

This is some examples of how Technology affects sports performance. There are also many other ways that it helps you perform. Without technology, now one would ever improve the sport they play.
