23、S AThey play hard, they play often, and they play to win. Australian sports teams win more than their fair share of titles, demolishing rivals with seeming ease. How do they do it? A big part of the secret is an extensive and expensive network of sporting academies underpinned by science and medicin
24、e. At the Australian Institute of Sport(AIS), hundreds of youngsters and pros live and train under the eyes of coaches. Another body, the Australian Sports Commission(ASC), finances programs of excellence in a total of 96 sports for thousands of sportsmen and women. Both provide intensive coaching,
25、training facilities and nutritional advice. BInside the academies, science takes centre stage. The AIS employs more than 100 sports scientists and doctors, and collaborates with scores of others in universities and research centers. AIS scientists work across a number of sports, applying skills lear
26、ned in onesuch as building muscle strength in golfersto others, such as swimming and squash. They are backed up by technicians who design instruments to collect data from athletes. They all focus on one aim; winning. “We cant waste out time looking at ethereal scientific questions that dont help the
27、 coach work with an athlete and improve performance, “ says Peter Fricker, chief of science at AIS. CA lot of their work comes down to measurementeverything from the exact angle of a swimmers dive to the second-by-second power output of a cyclist. This data is used to wring improvements out of athle
28、tes. The focus is on individuals, tweaking performances to squeeze an extra hundredth of a second here, an extra millimeter there. No gain is too slight to bother with. Its the tiny, gradual improvements that add up to world-beating results. To demonstrate how the system works, Bruce Mason at AIS sh
29、ows off the prototype of a 3D analysis tool for studying swimmers. A wire-frame model of a champion swimmer slices through the water, her arms moving in slow motion. Looking side-on, Mason measures the distance between strokes. From above, he analyses how her spine swivels. When fully developed, thi
30、s system will enable him to build a biomechanical profile for coaches to use to help budding swimmers. Masons contribution to sport also includes the development of the SWAN(Swimming Analysis)system now used in Australian national competitions. It collects images from digital cameras running at 50 f
31、rames a second and breaks down each part of a swimmers performance into factors that can be analyzed individuallystroke length, stroke frequency, average duration of each stroke, velocity, start, lap and finish times, and so on. At the end of each race, SWAN spits out data on each swimmer. D“Take a
32、look, “ says Mason, pulling out a sheet of data. He points out the data on the swimmers in second and third place, which shows that the one who finished third actually swam faster. So why did he finish 35 hundredths of a second down? “His turn times were 44 hundredths of a second behind the other gu
33、y, “ says Mason. “ If he can improve on his turns, he can do much better. “ This is the kind of accuracy that AIS scientists research is bring to a range of sports. With the Cooperative Research Centre for Micro Technology in Melbourne, they are developing unobtrusive sensors that will be embedded i
34、n an athletes clothes or running shoes to monitor heart rate, sweating, heat production or any other factor that might have an impact on an athletes ability to run. Theres more to it than simply measuring performance. Flicker gives the example of athletes who may be down with coughs and clods 11 or
35、12 times a year. After years of experimentation, AIS and the University of Newcastle in New South Wales developed a test that measures how much of the immune-system protein immunoglobulin A is present in athletes saliva. If IgA levels suddenly fall below a certain level, training is eased or dropped
36、 altogether. Soon, IgA levels start rising again, and the danger passes. Since the tests were introduced, AIS athletes in all sports have been remarkably successful at staying healthy. EUsing data is a complex business. Well before a championship, sports scientists and coaches start to prepare the a
37、thlete by developing a “competition model“ , based on what they expect will be the winning times. “You design the model to make that time, “ says Mason. “A start of this much, each free-swimming period has to be this fast, with a certain stroke frequency and stoke length, with turns done in these ti
38、mes. “ All the training is then geared towards making the athlete hit those targets, both overall and for each segment of the race. Techniques like these have transformed Australia into arguably the worlds most successful sporting nation. FOf course, theres nothing to stop other countries copyingand
39、 many have tried. Some years ago, the AIS unveiled coolant-lined jackets for endurance athletes. At the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1966, these sliced as much as two per cent off cyclists and rowers times. Now everyone uses them. The same has happened to the “altitude tent“ , developed by AIS to replic
40、ate the effect of altitude training at sea level. But Australias success story is about more than easily copied technological fixes, and up to now no nation has replicated its all-encompassing system.

But pictures are more than literal representations. This fact was drawn to my attention dramatically when a blind woman in one of my investigations decided on her own initiative to draw a w
