Which of the following is NOT a stated role of technology in sport?

• A. Enhance Spectatorship
• B. Increase Injury Risk
• C. Increase Safety for participants
• D. Enhance Performance

Answer: (B)

Technology in sport is used to improve spectatorship, safety, and performance. It enhances spectatorship by making broadcasts clearer, adding instant replays, and using stadium tech to engage fans. It boosts performance through advanced equipment, data analytics, and biomechanical feedback that help athletes train smarter and move more efficiently. It also increases safety for participants with protective gear, real-time monitoring, and injury-prevention tools informed by data.

The idea that technology would increase injury risk is not a stated goal; in practice, tech is developed to reduce risk and protect players, even though any tool must be used properly to avoid introducing new hazards.
