Performance+Improvement+over+time

=﻿Performance Improvements Over Time=

Every single sport has evolved overtime which has not only made it more spectacular to watch but has also resulted in some significant improvements in performance. For example, the 1900 Paris Olympics saw William Holland set the first world record for the 220 yard (201m) race at a time of 24 seconds. In 2009 Usain Bolt set the current 200m sprint with a time of 19.19 seconds. Why have we had so many improvement over time? Will it ever stop?

This powerpoint looks at how athletes have increased their performance over time and how the development of clothing, equipment and facilities may have led to these improvements.



//Activity// //At the end of the presentation students are to research a different sport or event and the advances that have been made overtime in relation to clothing worn, equipment (size, weight etc) and facilities.//
