Gateway to the World B2+ Unit 4 Reading & Voc

Multiple Choice

• Although such an example may seem far-fetched, if players had a system like that, one day maybe they would be able to read the line-up of opposing players and make a guess as to what their next move would be, informed by a quick search through videos of old games. At that point, your IT department becomes just as essential as your scouting team.

• These are questions that society will have to answer one day. Unless it does, everything will be open to debate. Because whatever happens, and whatever we think of it, technology will continue to push the limits of sport, in both minor and major ways.

• Meanwhile, some experts expect to see sports people training with masks that provide a higher level of oxygen while they work out, something which has been shown to help an athlete push harder than they normally could.

• While many of the benefits of this type of information still lie in the future, there are already genetic markers that can tell how well a particular athlete's body will react when they do specific workouts such as weight-training or intensive sessions.

• Of course, there's one central question here: supposing technology keeps improving, will there be an absolute maximum limit to what we can do? Will we ever hit a point where training and technology will go beyond our physical capabilities? If we look now at all the new ways to maximise our bodies' and brains' performance, it seems those limits may still be some distance away.
