Athletic training has become more sophisticated over the years. Science and technology has revolutionized the realm of athletics. It is now common for the competitive athlete to know his or her own body mass index, heart rate training zones, VO2 max, RMR (resting heart rate), and the individual specifics for needed nutrition. Virtually everything about ones athletic performance can be calculated. After all of the tests have been done we are left with information that is comprised of just simple numbers: 0's and 1's. This is all in part of the digitization of the world. This transformation of information can be understood in three layers. The bottom layer which constitutes a sequence of  0-1's; the text, picture, or sound that such varied sequences produce, and lastly the informative conclusions based off what layer two represents. Because vast amounts of information is digitized it makes the ability to store, send, manipulate, and convert information quickly and efficiently. As represented in layer two, I can say I have a VO2 max score of 70, that my aerobic training zone is between 120 to 160 heart beats per minute, and that I typically burn nearly 900 calories per endurance training hour. But what does this digitalized information really mean? Am I now bound by numbers? What about intuition and spiritual drive that may push beyond the specified limits? Although there is a feel and understanding to ones own body that digits cannot account, the majority of athletes are now turning to the numbers to help them overcome invariabilitys and to achieve the highest possible success.
