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?

Some sports have adapted the rules to encourage certain outcomes and drive engagement.
Scoring has gone up gradually in the NBA and I’m sure other leagues are seeing different types of statistical shifts whether it’s driven by rule changes or adoption of analytics.
