Technology in Athletics Current Issues in Sport

Learning Outcomes Understand how athletic events have improved due to technological advancements

**TASK** Draw up a table of all the technological advancements in athletics and how they improve performance Technology Improvement? Running spikes More grip = run faster/break world records M2 – results in? More people are encouraged to watch/increase participation

Technological advancements Spikes Electronic starting blocks All weather tracks Techniques – Fosbury flop (high jump) Clothing

Running shoes/spikes Different shoes for different events Running Shoes Technology

Electronic starting blocks Used to hold their feet so they do not slip, better traction and force to propel themselves forward In track and field sprints, the IAAF has a rule that if the athlete moves within 0.1 seconds after the gun has fired the athlete has false-started. This figure is based on tests that show the human brain cannot hear and process the information from the start sound in under 0.10 seconds https://youtu.be/VN-ktUIFZ4k

All weather track Surface of grass, dirt, cinder, rubber and asphalt now rubber, latex and polyurethane Excellent shock absorption and withstands all weather conditions Safer as injuries are less common now

Technique - High Jump Invented by Richard Fosbury 1968 – Olympic high jump champion Fosbury Flop

Specialist clothing for each event Each event has different clothing for specific reasons Can you think of any examples?
