But in Game Changer, Rayvon Fouché argues that sports have been radically shaped by an explosion of scientific and technological advances in materials, training, nutrition, and medicine dedicated to making athletes stronger and faster. Technoscience, as Fouché dubs it, increasingly gives the edge (however slight) to the athlete with the latest gear (however slight) to the athlete with the latest gear, the most advanced training equipment, or the performance-enhancing drugs that are hardest to detect. In this revealing book, Fouché examines a variety of sports paraphernalia and enhancements, from fast suits, athletic shoes, and racing bicycles to basketballs and prosthetic limbs. He also takes a hard look at gender verification, direct drugs testing, and the athlete biological passport in an attempt to understand the evolving place of technoscience across sport. Focusing on well-known athletes, including Michael Phelps, Oscar Pistorius, Caster Semenya, Usain Bolt, and Lance Armstrong, Fouché argues that technoscience calls into questions the integrity of games, records, and our bodies themselves. He also touches on attempts by sporting communities to regulate the use of technology, from elite soccer's initial reluctance to utilize goal-line technology to automobile racing's endless tweaking of regulatory formulas in an attempt to blur engineering potency and reclaim driver skill and ability. Game Changer will change the way you look at sports - and the outsized impact technoscience has on them. -- from dust jacket. 000925281 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000925281 650_0 $$aSports$$xTechnological innovations. 000925281 650_0 $$aSports$$xPhysiological aspects. 000925281 650_0 $$aPerformance technology. 000925281 650_0 $$aDoping in sports. 000925281 650_0 $$aSports sciences. 000925281 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aFouché, Rayvon, 1969-$$tGame changer.$$dBaltimore : Johns Hopkins University Press, 2017$$z9781421421797$$w(DLC) 2016028462$$w(OCoLC)960741739 000925281 8520_ $$bcoll 000925281 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000925281 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=1393572$$zOnline Access 000925281 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:925281$$pGLOBAL_SET 000925281 980__ $$aEBOOK 000925281 980__ $$aBIB 000925281 982__ $$aEbook 000925281 983__ $$aOnline
