Sensing technology is changing how athletes train. Inspired by the human body, this cutting-edge kit will translate movements and metabolic measurements into an understanding of athletes' performance.
Ro
I think that we should haveth same opportunities, so I don’t think it’s unfair using sensors
Katie Miller
wireless sensors would be very useful for dancers too
Emily Parry
I think that if something went wrong, they could die. But it could help their performance.
VEENA
I FEEL IT S A GREAT TECHNOLOGY. THUMBS UP!
Y
i think they would turn sport in to a programing competition
LIZ
It is part of modern sport to measure performance so that you can improve!
Helen
personally,i think that the usage of sophisticated sensors can improve physical skills of human and can help understand our bodies
Kirsty
It is just a new way to improve and train
Sir Johan Kragbaek Of Denmark
Bloody great. I am an athlete myself, and I think it’s a huge step for mankind :)
Ronan
Athletes who are from more wealthy countries would have easy access to these sensors, whereas countries who are in less wealthy countries as in countries under third world and debt mightn’t have access .
Marek
such sensors do not give athletes an advantage. Instead, they give athletes a ‘level playing field’
Mark
Go and look at the performance of the athletes from the MVP Sports and Field Club in Jamaica. It currently produces nearly all of the worlds top sprinters with very little investment. Please explain thi
Winmyster Sophstaaaa
aslong as they are removed before participation then seems ok with us!
Anna
as seen at the olympics,technology is only available to those who can afford it. that creates an unfair advantage i believe :(
Oscar Piscorius
psssh, people worry too much about what counts as cheating :))))
Andrew Smith
i don’t like senser i think that it is cheating
Rachael
no i don’t think they can i think the people who claim they can are trying to cause a fuss and are attention seekers they need to get over themselves!
Phyliss
it does not give advantage sssss
Brandon
I dont think its right because that will be super human
HARRIS
I think that athletes should put their own effort in to try and improve
John CHANG
There are physical limitations that need compensation
Sol
I think yes because it helps you to be more aware!
Michael Aqulina
i think as long as the technology is only used for training, it can only improve the athletic standards and further our progress as the human race as a result..
Cameron
no because it would cost to much and it would be to little to use
?
If you were an athlete, you would use them to help.
Est Of
testing calibration and response.
Rania
i think it would help but we shouldnt use it
Ayham
I think it would be a good idea for athletes to have tiny sensors because it would help them have a sensational performance and make them better. However, it must be used by all athletes all over the wor
Priya Reynolds,12 :)
i think sensors are a great idea because athletes get more of a sense of whats happening around them :)
Abby Reynolds , 9
I Think it isnt a good idea because it wouldnt be the PARALYMICS also it wouldnt really improve anything!!!
TOMOS
IT IS A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE ATHLETES SHOULD IMPROVE IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE TO TRY AND WIN
Sarah
sensors are downright cheating!
Sarah
gr8!its a fantastic idea to use technology for athletes!
Becky
You could use sensors during training butmi dont think its needed in compitions
Jonathano
perhaps they can
GAVRIEL
It will make it better
