In order to take up a new sport some people think it's better to have access to the latest technology and the most up-to-date equipment. Other people believe that these things are not necessary for starting a new sport. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion

These days

people

have become more and more involved and determined to make money.

Due to

this

people

have started to neglect their health. But the recent trend holds that

people

are beginning to spare time for physical activities. But there is

this

question about how much to rely on

technology

to become healthy. Is

technology

really necessary to start a physical hobby or a new sport? I will discuss

this

and provide my own views. There has been a great advancement in the field of

technology

in almost all aspects of life. There are now multiple health gadgets available which help us track each activity.

For example

, if you think of starting swimming, you have smartwatches that can actually calculate and provide the details of the length covered, time spent, and calories burnt. Even doing a simple exercise like walking, can be monitored via mobile phone applications. The application algorithms can tell you how many steps you walked and how was the pace. For some

people

,

this

not only helps in developing the best possible plan depending on their strengths and requirement but

also

to analyze how much the exercise is helping them.

However

, depending on the

technology

can have its own disadvantages. During the old times,

people

did not have the

technology

to monitor their progress. Even

then

, they were much fitter than the

people

today. Sometimes,

people

opt for a sport for just the fun of it.

Also

, it is less expensive too.

For example

, you don’t always need a smartwatch or a smartphone to track whenever you go hiking with friends. Not depending on

technology

is actually preferable and accessible to many

people

.

To conclude

, in my opinion, making use of the available

technology

is good to help understand your body’s acceptance of a sport.

However

, we should not depend on

technology

for guidance.
