As in any other field of human activity, technology has also intervened in sports disciplines, improving many aspects of the good of sports and athletes. The debate over technological developments is no longer in terms of using “for good” or “for bad”, but how to use technology in your function. Thanks to new modern apparatus, state-of-the-art machinery, and modern engineering, technology is improving the spectrum of human body movements, producing individuals who defy the limits of nature. We have athletes who jump higher and higher, run faster and faster, or score more and more accurately based on measurements from sophisticated apparatus. These devices assess an athlete’s body, measure every system in his body, and direct his movement by improving it to the tenths or hundreds of seconds.
