In ancient Greece, Olympic sports emerged as an offshoot of preparation for war. Modalities such as shots, jumps and other races were practiced to simulate the conditions of battlefields. In modern times, sport has lost this characteristic to be associated with improved health and physique, socialization, fun and, of course, play and competition. In contemporary society, this is the most striking aspect: competitions, where hundredths of a second or insignificant centimeters can separate glory from failure.
This search for maximum improvement, already present in the first modern Olympics in 1896, has never ceased. Today, equipment and training are pushing their limits, using technology and science where the human body has apparently already reached the peak of its physical performance. Olympic athletes are prepared to challenge the constraints of gravity, time and distance. They find support in applied research in the field of physiology and sports medicine, as well as in the advancement of training techniques and equipment. Science allows you to “build” an athlete to be an Olympic record holder, maximizing their physical potential through in-depth knowledge of the physiology of movement. And when the sportsman reaches the limit, with the human body at its maximum capacity, the high technology of equipment and materials enters the field. its service as in the space race, the olympics also serve to assess the scientific advances that end up meaning a progress for society in general.
