This evolution is changing the past trends jn the sports and these amendments are sometimes for the betterment of the players, sometimes it is for the fans of the sports and sometimes it is also for the betterment of our planet too, Artificial fields that do ‘not wear and tear easily, new safety equipment for the players, technology like instant replays, hawk-eye, hotspot and snickometer (used in cricket) are some changes that are incorporated in the sports to support the players and fair play of the game. Drone cameras, high definition video walls, social media platform to connect the players are some advancement for the followers of the game. Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) used in Formula One racing cars which takes the waste heat energy created when the driver applies brake in the car and use this energy later to boost the speed of the car. This system helps in saving energy which is good for our planet and at the same time it increases the performance of the racer. CHANGING TRENDS IN PLAYING SURFACE Playing surface in the sports is continuously evolving while keeping in mind about various factors related to particular games and sports. Some of these factors are friction, pace of the athlete, requires less force of the athlete, injury prevention of the athlete, impact of the footmarks, etc, The main purpose is to develop such a Playing surface that will enhance the performance of the athlete and does not tear away easily when compared tonatural pitches, Some common type of playing surfaces that are evolved during times are polymeric rubber, PVC, _ Wooden surfaces, concrete, natural turf and artificial turf. These surfaces are generally more expensive ‘to build but these are worth every penny due to it consistency throughout the year and low cost 33 maintenance. In the past, the sports was playe on natural surfaces either it was muddy surface, But it was since 1970s from when 1 sports organisations started using, artificial p Here are a few examples of such organizations: + FIFA: They allow synthetic surfaces, but long as they meet their defined guidelines. In the year 2015, FIFA Women’s World Cup was held in Canada where a conventional soccer field was not an easy option due to its climate. Thus, in thi World Cup artificial surface was used % Olympics: Artificial grass has been used in the Olympics. The first example of this was in 19, for field hockey. tche: CHANGING TRENDS IN WEARABLE GEARS Wearable gear refers to devices attached to the body that measures some aspect of performance during physical activities and sports. These gears have some special kind of sensors that may monitor the position of the athlete, heart rate and other physiological data Data collected by these gears in continuous manner which helps the athlete to improve his performance. An example of such a gear which is available are a pod and vest system that can track the position of the players in real-time, as well as collect physiological data such as total distance, speed, high metabolic load distance, accelerations, fatigue index, dynamic stress load, step balance and collisions. The data can then be visualized later using a software system so that performer can work on to improve his performance. CHANGING TRENDS IN SPORTS EQUIPMENT Equipment is that item which is used in sports either for playing or for protecting player from injury. We can classify the equipment asa playing equipment and safety equipment. Playing Equipment: Every sport requires some sort of playing equipment for playing the game. For example, bat and ball in cricket, racquet in badminton or tennis, gun in shooting, hockey stick in hockey, etc. A constant research is going on to make the sports equipment better. By better it means that either it enhances the performance of the player or the equipment itself remains in good condition for a longer period of time. The application of composite materials while preparing the sports equipment reduces its weight and increases strength which extends its life span. Safety Equipment: Safety equipment is used in different sports for protecting players from injuries. For example head guard, face guard, mouth guard, eg, guard, elbow guard, etc. In this competitive world of sports itis very unfortunate for any player to get injured while playing the game. Sometimes injuries will ruin the career of a sportsperson. Safety equipment will decrease the chances of getting an injury. Safety equipment becomes better day by day through everyday research. Techniques are developing to reduce their weight, size and increase their sturdiness so that they serve their purpose for a longer period of time. TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENT Technology has affected the sports from low level recreational activities to high level competitive sports. ‘The application of advanced technology in sports serves a role in creating whole new sports experience for the players and the viewers as well. Technology advancement is not only restricted to drone camera, video walls or techniques like hotspot but it is also applied to personal sports gear such as clothing and shoes. Clothing of sportsperson are 004 to the player and he/she will performance in the game great impact on the sports but som: unfortunate for the teams or pl afford it and the spirit of sports is use of technology in enhancing, spor equipment is generally an expensi because of the expense involved the benefits derived at least initially to the upper end of the sports hierarchy because of cost, changes brought about ir the application of technology tend to be to elite level athletes and teams.
