The science of Sport

1 At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens， the Chinese athlete Liu Xiang equaled the world record for the 110metres hurdles (跨栏) when he ran the race in 12.91seconds. This record time had been set in 1993 by British sprinter (短跑运动员) Colin Jackson and 9 years went by before another athlete was ableto run as fast.

2 Record-breaking in all track events isslowing down and we appear to be moving much closer to the limits of humanperformance. Nevertheless， every four years， records which were previously thought to be unbeatable are broken.So what's behind this never-ending improvement in performance? And how long canwe keep breaking records? Is there a limit to human performance or willathletes continue to gain seconds?

3 Most experts agree that it isn't theathletes' bodies which have changed but the huge advances in sport sciencewhich have enabled them to improve their performances. The individual athleteobviously has to have the necessary skill and determination to succeed， but the help of science and technology can be significant. Researchhas brought a better understanding of the athlete's body and mind but theadvances in sports equipment technology have also had an important impact onhuman performance.

4 Scientists have shown that an athlete'sbody's needs vary according to the type of sport. This research has helped topsports people to adapt their training programme and diet better to theirparticular needs. Running the marathon and cycling， forexample， are endurance (耐力)sports and require a different parathion (硝苯硫磷脂) tothat of a 100-metre sprinter. In some sports， changesin techniques have significantly improved performance.

5 But in any sport， aplayer's success or failure results from a combination of both physical andmental abilities. Most coaches use psychological techniques to help theirathletes cope with stress and concentrate on their performance. For example， the English football team listens to music in the changing rooms beforea game to help the players relax and not feel so nervous. Before a difficultmatch， tennis players are encouraged to usevisualization(相象)techniques to build confidence andthis is almost as good as practice.

6 But as science， begins to dominate sport， are we in danger of losingsight of the heart of the competition， the sportingchallenge? What's more， are all these advantages fair?
