Modern Marvels - 6x08 - Sports Technology: Equipment- Followmy.tv

Run faster, jump higher, play longer. Every athlete strives to push harder, but what happens when training and preparation run their course? Then it's time for science and technology - to augment the sweat of the player with the brains of the engineer. This original program explores technological advances in such critical gear as athletic shoes and skiing and football equipment. It also looks to the future, which may be filled with radar-enhanced baseballs, spring-loaded inline skates, and virtual-reality stadiums.
