For now. But are we reaching the upper lim its of athletic performance? Are the world's top athletes, in the words of British biochemist Guy C. Brown, “doomed to battle ... over ever-di minishing fractions of seconds and centimeters?” Or can more science help Olympic athletes improve significantly? Both, Brown says. In a study pub lished in the journal The Sciences, Brown reports about the steadily im proving performances of athletes since 1900. For example, the record time in the men’s 1500-meter run has improved by about 10 seconds every quarter- century. Men historically have out performed women, but the gap is nar rowing. In a 1992 UCLA study, scientists predicted the women would outrun men, especially in endurance races such as the marathon, by 2035. By 2020, the editors of The Sciences predict, women will run the 10,000-me ter race a full minute faster than men. But humans might soon reach the limits of physical fitness, Brown argues. The overall limiting factor for ath letes is the heart’s ability to pump more freshly oxygenated blood through miles of blood vessels. “If it could push more blood through the body, an athlete could run, swim, row or ride a bicycle faster than usual,” Brown said. Brown says’ athletic improve ments in the 21st century probably will depend on scientific and techno logical gains. Among them, better equipment, surgical enhancements such as more flexible tendons, even genetic engi-. neering for faster-acting muscles,; higher oxygen absorption and faster ■ blood circulation. Future limits to athletic perfor-; mance will be determined less by the innate physiology of the athlete,” 1 Brown said, “than by technological advances and the evolving judgment. on where to draw the line between; what is ‘natural’ and what is artifi- •; cially enhanced.” For now, there are no clear answers; to the performance questions Brown > raises. Too many athletes. Too much! history. Too many complicating factors.; To gain an edge, most elite athletes - visualize a perfect race or routine be-; fore competing. “Visualization actually gets the! muscles firing,” Zaichowsky said. “It ’ gives the body a rehearsal.” * month — fo Gore campa turned the ta; which is inve With the 1 away on Oct, ing to Austin practice sessi full 90-mini moderator ar are planned fi There’s a < too much, 1 you’re ready t he says.
