“anyone who thinks that the progress of the sport over the last 10 years much less 50 years much less 100 years is all about well we've learned more and we're digging deeper is kidding themselves technology is baked into the improvement curve changes in circumstances environment and technology are ba”

Technology has impacted the nature of sports since their inception, as any piece of equipment that can be manipulated by a competitor represents a technological advancement.

“my perspective is technology influences sport from the beginning so roughly 3 3000 bc they have instances of wrestling greco-roman wrestling bodies and arms and the moment i would say you potentially move past that moment of people using their bodies and arms you have a ball a piece of equipment of ”

A heavier bowling ball provides more momentum, but elite players may opt for slightly lighter balls to increase their speed and spin rate.

“some pros you know 16 pounds is the maximum allowed weight and for for many years all pros use 16 pounders but now they're migrating closer to 15 and you might think well why they're giving up that that free momentum well they can throw the 15 ball 15 pound ball faster okay so they can actually get ”

By monitoring pitching motions with higher sampling rates, researchers can identify peak accelerations and torques that are currently under-reported and cause injury.

“we think that pitching inconsistency is a huge variable that cannot be measured right now to to what matters this is a hypothesis and we need to validate it but we think by measuring faster you will reveal that the accelerations are faster than are being measured right now”

Achieving neutral mechanical alignment, where a plumb line from the hip center passes through the center of the knee to the ankle, is the most critical factor in long-term joint health.

“if you have good mechanical alignment we call it that is if we draw a line from the center of your hip to the center of your ankle and we do this regularly and it goes right through the center of the knee there's a good chance you're going to be okay”
