Why do sports records keep getting broken?

1.56K viewsBiologyOther

How do athletes break records even though the sport has been going on for decades. How do individual humans break those records so often even though we’re said to be getting weaker than our ancestors. Is it just pure willpower or what? In some sports it could be chalked off to rule changes and stuff but there are a lot of sports without any rule changes and rely purely on the athlete. Are they juicing and the juices keep getting better? Is a new record just seen as a goal that only needs to be broken and not annihilated?

There are plenty of records in baseball which will never be broken. Ricky’s steal record, Barry Bonds intentional walks or pretty much any other stat from 2004 lol, Cal Ripkens games in a row played… There’s plenty more I could list.
