Test/READII\GREADING PASS AGE 1You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1- 13, which are based on Reading Passage Ibelow.AUSTRALIA'SSPORTINGSUCCESSA They play hard. they play often, and they play to win. Australian sports teams win more thantheir fair share of titles, demolishing rivals with seeming ease. How do they do it?A big part ofthe secret is an extensive and expensive network of sporting academies under pinned byscience and medicine. At the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), hundreds of youngsters andpros live and train under the eyes of coaches. Another body, the Australian Sports Commission(ASC), finances programmes of excellence in a total of 96 spor ts for thousands of sportsmenand women. Both provide intensive coaching. training facilities and nutritional advice.B Inside the academies, science takes centre stage. The AIS employs more than I 00 sportsscientists and doctors, and collaborates with scores oi others in universities and researchcentres. AIS scientists work across a number of sports. applying skills learned in one - such asbuilding muscle strength in golfers - to others. such as swimming and squash. They are backedup by technicians who design instruments to collect cata from athletes.They all focus on oneaim: winning. 'We can't waste our time looking at ethereal scientific questions that don't helpthe coach work with an athlete and improve performance; says Peter Fricker. chief ofscience at AIS.C A lot of their work comes down to measurement - everything from the exact angle of aswimmer's dive to the second-by-second power output of a cyclist. This data is used to wringimprovements out of athletes. The focus is on individLals, tweaking perfor mances to squeeze anextra hundredth of a second here, an extra millimetre there. No gain is too slight to botherwith. It's the tint. gradual improvements that add up to world-beating results.To demonstratehow the system works, Bruce Mason at AIS shows off the prototype of a 30 analysis tool ferstudying swimmers. A wire-frame model of a champion swimmer slices through the water, heranms moving in slow motion. Looking side-on, Mason measures the distance between strokes.From above, he analyses how her spine swivels. When fully developed, this system will enablehim to build a biomechanical profile for coaches to use to help budding swimmers. Mason'scontribution to sport also includes the development of the SWAN (SWimming AN alysis)system now used in Australian national competitions. It collects images from digital cameras18

Readingrunning at 50 frames a second and breaks down each part of a swimmer's performance intofactors that can be analysed individually - stroke length, stroke frequency. average duration ofeach stroke, velocity. start lap and finish times, and so on. At the end of each race, SWAN spitsout data on each swimmer.D 'Take a look,' says Mason, pulling out a sheet of data. He points out the data on the swimmers insecond and third place. which shows that the one who finished third actually swam faster. Sowhy did he finish 35 hundredths of a second down? 'His turn times were 44 hundredths of asecond behind the other guy,' says Mason.'If he can improve on his turns, he can do muchbetter.' This is the kind of accuracy that AI scientists' research is bringing to a range of sports.With the Cooperative Research Centre for Micro Technology in Melbourne, they aredeveloping unobtrusive sensors that will be embedded in an athlete's clothes or running shoesto monitor heart rate, sweating, heat production or any other factor that might have an impacton an athlete's ability to r un. There's more to it than simply measuring performance. Fricker givest he example of athletes who may be down with coughs and colds I I or 12 t imes a year: Afteryears of experimentation, AI and the University of Newcastle in New South Wales developeda test that measures how much of the immune-system prot ein immunoglobulin A is present inathletes' saliva. If lgA levels suddenly fall below a cer tain level, training is eased or droppedaltogether. Soon, lgA levels start r ising again, and the danger passes. Since the tests wereintroduced,A I athletes in all sports have been remarkably successful at staying healthy.EUsing data is a complex business. Well before a champ·ionship, sports scientists and coachesstart to prepare the athlete by developing a 'competition model', based on what they expectwill be the winning times. 'You design the model to make that time.' says Mason. 'A start of thismuch, each free-swimming period has to be this fast. with a certain stroke frequency and strokelength, with turns done in these times.' All the training is then geared towards making the athletehit those targets, both overall and for each segment of the race.Techniques like these havetransformed Australia into arguably the world's most successful sporting nation.F Of course. there's nothing to stop other countries copying - and many have tried. Some yearsago, the A IS unveiled coolant-lined jackets for endurance athletes.At the Atlanta OlympicGames in 1996, these sliced as much as two per cent off cyclists' and rowers' times. Noweveryone uses themT he same has happened to the 'attitude tent', developed by A I to replicatethe effect of altitude training at sea level. But Australia's success story is about more than easilycopied technological fixes, and up to now no nation has replicated its all-encompassing system.l9
