Abstract- This review paper examines the evolution of materials used in sports equipment, comparing traditional materials with modern alternatives. The study focuses on safety and performance considerations across various sports, including but not limited to football, cycling, skiing, and tennis. By analyzing recent research and industry developments, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the advantages and drawbacks of both traditional and modern materials in sports equipment. The review encompasses aspects such as impact resistance, weight reduction, durability, and overall athletic performance enhancement. Additionally, it explores the economic and environmental implications of material choices in sports equipment manufacturing. The findings suggest that while modern materials often offer superior performance characteristics, traditional materials still hold value in certain applications, particularly when considering cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
