Sport excites and has passionate fans. It influences fashion and body images and exerts enormous social impact. Modern sport is closely linked to industrialization and technological advancement since the 19th century. Controlled, measured performance and its enhancement have become central themes. The technological development of sports played a crucial role in the 20th century, from training to sports equipment and performance measurement tools, as well as spectator sports, whether in the stadium or the living room. In addition to competitive motivations, health and appearance, community, and experience also play significant roles. The catalog for the exhibition explores the diverse interactions between sport and technology from the perspectives of social and cultural sciences as well as technical and natural sciences. The catalog section offers a tour of the exhibition.
