Monitoring

Technological developments have improved performers' ability to monitor their health and their nutrition.

Monitoring health

Monitoring health

Technological developments (e.g. heart rate monitors, pedometers and body fat monitors) have helped us to keep up the health and physical development of performers.

Monitoring nutrition

Monitoring nutrition

The nutrition (diet) of athletes plays an important role in their physical development and recovery.
We can monitor and calculate this with great accuracy thanks to technology.

Safety and Recovery

Technological developments have also made engaging in sport safer and decreased the time athletes need to recover from injuries or matches.

Safety

Safety

Technological advances have improved the safety measures for performers.
- E.g. In cricket and hockey, the development of pads and helmets has increased safety.

Recovery

Recovery

Technology has also decreased the recovery time of injured performers through the use of ice baths, oxygen (hypoxic) tents and hyperbaric chambers.
