Technology plays an important part in modern sport

 Technology plays an important part in modern sport. With it being a necessary part of some sports (such as motorsport), it is used in others to improve performance. Some sports also use it to allow off-field decision making. Sports science is a widespread academic discipline, and can be applied to areas including athlete performance, such as the use of video analysis to fine-tune technique, or to equipment, such as improved running shoes or competitive swimwear. Sports engineering emerged as a discipline in 1998 with an increasing focus not just on materials design but also the use of technology in sport, from analytics and big data to wearable technology. In order to control the impact of technology on fair play, governing bodies frequently have specific rules that are set to control the impact of technical advantage between participants. For example, in 2010, full-body, non-textile swimsuits were banned by FINA, as they were enhancing swimmers' performances. The notion that exercise has a multitude of benefits, especially for health, has been around for millennia. Physicians’ traditional focus on the prevention of disease and the maintenance of health requires them to find interventions that will help patients, with as few adverse effects and reactions as possible. Only lately has the focus shifted towards acute illnesses and treating patients according to their complaints. In any case, diet and exercise have almost always been part of the regimen emphasized by physicians.¹ Even ancient physicians recognized the importance of these two aspects of care in the formulation of their treatments. This understanding suggests that maintaining health in a preventative manner may be a more appropriate medical approach than treating patients at the doorway of disease. There is a growing opinion that, in the near future, lack of exercise may be the most important public health problem. Physicians should consider it their duty to modify patients’ lifestyles in ways that lead to the health benefits that science has now confirmed are clear and undeniable. Many conditions, such as depression, osteoarthritis, hypertension, obesity, cancer, and diabetes mellitus have outcomes that are obviously ameliorated by increased physical activity. Sport can involve anyone from any background which is one of the reasons why it is so widespread around the world. One of the main reasons many people choose to participate in sport is in order to maintain their overall fitness. Global audiences lead to increased money being invested in sports and sports being rolled out into increasing numbers of communities around the world. This has helped to improve communities as well as the opportunities available within them. It is a well-established fact that overall sports help to bring people together. There are a range of different effects that sports can have on a community. One of the main effects that sports can have on a community is an improvement in facilities. One major issue in the UK is a lack of facilities and community activities for deprived areas. Ultimately sports are a lifeline to communities as sports provide different role models that younger people can aspire to and relate to. This can encourage new generations to take up the same sport. Sport is of great importance in these areas as it can lead to improvements in
