Are Athletes Really getting Faster, Better, Stronger?

  1. With new ways to train, more advanced muscle building supplements, and harder competition, athletes are stepping up their game every day to try to keep up with competition and try to better themselves too.

  2. I think athletes really are getting stronger but they also have more supplements to take and they continue to get bigger stronger faster. Athletes are also more determined

  3. Honestly I don't think they're better than they used to be. I think we just sponsor and promote athletes more than we used to.

  4. Yes but they are becoming dependent on stimulants to increase their athletic ability.

  5. I agree with pretty much everyone on this. They are getting stronger but there is a lot more things to help them get stronger. There are a lot of new protein shakes and all that going around so I do think they are getting stronger and better

  6. Athletes aren't getter better technology is getting better. We are just finding humans that fit that even or sport better by there body size and length.

    1. You're right. LeBron James' 6'8" 270 pounds of pure muscle and ability to jump 40 inches off the ground and also his 7'0" wingspan definitely doesn't have anything to do with how good he is as a basketball player.

  8. The athletes are becoming more suited for their sports but it is the technology around the sports that has gotten better it seems that athletes are the same and the sports have evolved

  9. Yeah athletes aren't getting better. They are just finding athletes that are better suited for certain sports and also the equipment is getting better making it easier to do better.

  10. Athletes are getting stronger and better with the more practice they do. But it is also because they are just finding athletes that are better at certain sports.

  11. Athletes are also becoming more intelligent due to sports becoming more complex.

  12. In order to be better you must com pair them to athletes in the past but since so much has changed it is hard to tell if they are getting better or not. The only way to tell is if we make the athletes now use the same equipment and run/play on the same fields and tracks they used back then, and I am sure that if they were better they may not be better by much.

  16. The majority of the improvement seems to be from better equipment over anything else.
