positive impacts of technology
ACCURACY
Advancements in technology has brought in technology that makes the game more accurate with scoring such as the hawk eye, electronic line sensor and the net cord sensor. These technologies help the judges decide whether a hit was in/out and whether it hit the net or not. This has had a massively positive impact on tennis because it means that the score is not an estimate but it is known precisely so that the match is as it was played. This also means that the job of judging becomes less pressured and the judge does not experience any hate from the players on the court for a bad decision.
SPECTATOR APPEAL
Technology enhanced spectator appeal by breaking the barriers down between spectator and athlete. Developments in camera positioning enable spectators to feel close to athlete. Technology such as instant replays and judging technology increases spectator appeal immensely. Judging technology is a great way to increase spectator appeal because it is always very tense when a decision is being made and this is always very exciting for a crowd to experience.
IMPROVED STANDARDS
Technology allows advancement in coaching methods and techniques as well as injury prevention and rehab. Coaches can gather more accurate data and give more specific feedback whilst athlete is training. This can improve personal best, averages, winnings and records of the athlete who has access to advanced technology.
KNOWLEDGE OF NUTRITION
Technology has provided an opportunity for scientists to study the scientific composition of food and how this will benefit the human body and in turn improve athletes performance. Pre packaged, high energy foods, drinks and supplements have been introduced and food can now be altered by transferring genes from one strain to another.
