This article was chosen as it addresses the various technologies in the equipment of
sports that are the type of material advances in the sport. In the recent years, there has been a
technological advancement in the sports materials that have resulted in breaking of the records.
There is the advancement of the gear technologies that have placed a positive impact on the
cycling as well as swimming technology. In the swimming sport, there is the advancement of the
swimmers putting on the Speedo LZR which is made of the nylon-elastane which is light and
assist in the compressing the body of the swimmer into a shape that is more hydrodynamic. The
compression enacted by the Speedo LZR is supporting the hips of the swimmer whereby they
hang lower hence increasing drag as a swimmer tires. The compression in overall help is
reducing the resistance of water.
In the cycling sport, the cyclist struggles with the resistance of the counter air where most
of the energy of the cyclist is used to overcome this resistance. To overcome the air resistance
technology advancement has been invented by the engineers by having more advanced
handlebars. They are usually an initial part of the bicycle in cutting the air, so turbulence
minimization is essential. Also since the wheels of a bicycle have an impact on the flow of the
air, there has been some advancement in the spokes that are found in the wheels. To avoid the
effect caused by the spokes while riding the bicycles, the engineers have opted to completely
remove all the spokes in the wheel and come up with a wheel that is solid. However, bikes with

such solid wheels can only be used in the indoor activities, but this is a type of material
advancement in sports.

The ways we participate in sport or exercise have changed throughout the years as a
result of material advances in sports. This article has been chosen as it addresses some of the
material advances that have taken place in the recent past year. When most people hear of
technological advancements, what comes to their mind is the use of computers, and they wonder
how computers have to deal with sports activities. However, technology is broad such that there
is a technological advancement in the material that is used in sports. For example, there is
advancement in the kit that is used in soccer whereby they have been made with materials that
are not holding water are allow sweating thus making it light to run more so when there is rain.
Also, the shoes that are worn when running are advanced in a way that they allow the
feet of the runner to breathe to avoid ending up with toes that are sweaty and with a smell that is
unpleasant. Besides the shoes and the soccer kits, there are the yoga pants that have been
introduced by different manufacturers whereby they are made of stretching materials. The
stretching material is essential in allowing for stretching exercises. For individual who is
involved in playing tennis, there is the advancement of rackets that are acting as sensors. They
are also formed in a way that they hold all data in a device that is computer based. The player
can receive information such as the amoun...
