Technology in sports

By Jose Gonzalez

Technology in tennis

• Professional tennis has a computerized tracking system that shows whether a ball is in or out

Pole-vaulting technology

• The technology in pole-vaulting has evolve from pole to pole. First came the wooden pole, next was the metal pole and finally came the fiberglass pole.

Technology in swimming

• Speedo came up with a new swimsuit the LZR Racer it features ultrasonically bonded seams and water repellent fabric to reduce drag

Technology in hockey

• Goalies instead of wearing leather padding now wear synthetic padding making more comfortable

Technology in football

• The helmets we use in football are better. They went from being leather to awesome helmets we have now

Basketball technology

• Basketball technology has changed in many ways, but one way stands out to me. The balls have went from leather to micro-fiber composite balls.

Reflection

• What people can do to get ready for technology in the future is learn how to use modern day technology. You have to learn to able to adapt to new technology. So I’m in bad shape because I can barely use technology today.
