How will technology affect sport in the future?

With developing nanotechnology, and altering and mixing materials, the game of badminton will change a lot, with players generating more power to smash so smashes will be faster and stronger. More tricks shots will be developed by players making the game more intense and deceptive. With lighter and more defensive type racquets, games will be longer and player have to train more of their endurance to keep up their energy. New types of training drills will be introduced to train player’s endurance in their arms and legs. Specially-made racquets, grips, strings, and shoes will make players able to develop new types of shots making badminton a game of trickery, not just strength. Technology will change Badminton in many aspects mainly in equipment. For professional players, customized racquets will make sure the player’s best skill is shown and enable them to learn and make new shots. Maybe in the future, players will learn to use both hands to play, as in badminton the other hand doesn't do much apart from keeping balance. If players could play with both hands a whole new aspect of the game is brought in. Technology will indeed change how Badminton is played in the future.
