At the turn of the century, football was a little known sport. An original rule stated that all players were required to run backwards to demonstrate exceptional skill. Due to the high occurrence of concussions and consumption, this rule was one of the first rules changed as the sport grew in popularity.

Slowly science is winning the war on relgious prejutices. A long time ago you would be burned at the stake for science. I believe in time hopefully sooner than later, that science will be able to correct any physical problems that humans have.

1. Lose unnecessary weight.\n\n2. make your self more aerodynamic as possible when u run.\n\n3. Increase your leg strength, arm flex muscles.

It's alot of both. Genetics are what gets you to that pro athlete status and hard work and preparation are what separates you from the group and takes you to the next level. Without genetics, a person can practice and prepare as much as they want, but it will honestly take you only so far. There have been many people with a ton of heart, but how many of them actually were true champions. Alot of them were scrappers and a few squeaked in as champion, but you have to have a certain genetic make-up to really excel at athletics.

Science and Technology both are growing rapidly. Every day there comes many new theories, designs, patterns, machines etc developed by the human. Some of them are known by public and some not. Thousands of Mega Bytes about Science and Technology is uploaded daily on WWW by the Researchers. Recently, I was working on Artificial Intelligence and come to know that how huge field it is. So, in my opinion we can not answer this question

Definitely the distance runner.  Building stamina for long races is what a distance runner does.  A sprinter is focused on pure speed over a short distance.

Bowerman, the inimitable University of Oregon coach, brought jogging to America, built an unrivaled track and field program at that university, and taught his athletes to seek the competitive advantage everywhere - in their bodies, their gear and their passion. \n\nPhil Knight was a University of Oregon accounting student and a middle-distance runner under Bowerman. In 1962, Knight had this you're-crazy-it-will-never-work-or-someone-would-already-be-doing-it idea about bringing low-priced, high-tech athletic shoes from Japan to dislodge German domination of the US athletic footwear industry. \n\nThat same year Bowerman and Knight formed a partnership. Legend has it that they each kicked in $500, shook hands and started importing. Truth is, it was probably closer to $550. Pretty soon, shoes from Onitsuka Tiger started showing up on American feet, brought into the US by some nobody company named Blue Ribbon Sports (BRS).  \n  \n \nThis scenario was bound to pass by the wayside. Bowerman was always seeking ways to improve Tiger designs, and Knight never could stand the thought of shilling for somebody else when he could shill for himself. Soon enough, BRS gave way to a new approach to winning the throne in the US running market. This time, it would be with new designs and a new company, Nike. Two more key players helped propel the company's early growth: Jeff Johnson, a former track rival of Knight's at the University of Oregon and Steve Prefontaine, also a University of Oregon runner and middle-distance running prodigy. \n\nJohnson joined Knight and Bowerman's Blue Ribbon Sports company as its first full-time employee, selling shoes out of the back of his van at high school track meets in 1965. In 1966, Johnson opened the company's first retail outlet in a narrow building at 3107 Pico Blvd., in Santa Monica, California. Johnson is credited with giving Nike its name. Prefontaine, the first major track athlete to wear Nike product, had significant influence on the design of Nike's running shoes. His indomitable spirit and legendary competitive passion left an indelible mark on the company. \n\nSome thirty years later, Nike is the largest sports and fitness company in the world

Change is very real in any field of science. New discoveries always overturn old ways of thinking. Hey, Pluto was deemed a planet till very recently! Some things have been fairly constant in EE since the 1800s - Ohms law, laws of electromagnetism, etc. The entire edifice of EE - whether you are talking about communication, VLSI, power, electronics, etc., is built upon these, and a solid foundation of unshakeable mathematics. It will be your job as an EE to further the progress of science and technology by investigating the limits of performance of today's devices, and proposing new theories to supplement existing ones to make better devices. Change? It is a way of life. If you can't deal with it, then theology is probably a good choice for study.

The technologies of today could be considered by many to be "best", and they are changing our world now, and will still change it more in the next 5 - 10 years.  Witness Global Warming and climate change...\n\nAny technology that can slow or reverse this trend gets my vote for "best".

I can see how it could happen. There are artificial intelligence programs that do get smarter over time. But as for physical evolution... maybe in the future.

the story goes that running increases your heart rate thereby increasing blood flow throught the body to remove or move lactic acid through the body to reduce soreness. whether or not this is true i'm not sure. but do a search on wikipedia there is a ton of info and external links that can answer this

Technology is Physics put to good use.

The simple answer: Mechanically.\n\nDepending on the sport, and the timing requirements, all events were timed with the mechnical stop watch, or an instrument similar to the stop watch.  Either a live person actually started and stopped the timer. Or in some cases, they did have what could be considered a type of laser light mechanism that stopped the timer device.\n\nNot sure how much detail you want. But hope that helps.

On the television show Mythbusters, this was tested empirically, first with artificial rain and then with real rain. \n\nWith artificial rain, it was shown that runners got wetter than walkers.\n\nWith real rain, it was shown that walks got wetter than runners. \n\nThe difference between the results was very small, so that other factors might very well have an influence, like:\n\n1. style of walking\n2. style of running\n3. statistical properties of the rain\n4. variability of the rain\n5. physical dimensions of the runner or walker\n\netc.
