Which technology is described as the development of equipment like cricket helmets?

• A. Development of equipment - cricket helmets etc
• B. Shoes
• C. Recovery Tech - ice baths etc
• D. VAR

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that sport technology includes the development of equipment—innovating gear to protect players and improve performance. Cricket helmets are a clear example of protective equipment designed to reduce head injuries from fast deliveries. Describing this as the development of equipment emphasizes the engineering side: advances in materials, design, safety standards, and comfort that make the gear safer and more effective. The other options point to different areas—shoes are a specific item, recovery technology covers methods like ice baths, and VAR is a video-based decision tool—so they don’t capture the broader category of creating and improving sporting gear.
