Introduction:
In the era of digital technology, the sports body has become a subject of continuous control and measurement through wearable devices such as smart watches, fitness tracking devices, and applications that monitor every movement and heartbul. These tools, which are presented as ways to improve performance, carry monitoring mechanisms that reproduce the banquetic logic that Michelle Foucault spoke about. Through a Fukawi lens, how modern measurement tools can be analyzed on the athlete's body, and reshape its relationship with itself and with power.

1- From the bangoton to the wearable devices: the continuity of the surveillance logic
Banopiticon, as Foucault described, is a prison model for Jeremy Bennam, where prisoners are monitored permanently without knowing if they were already monitors. This model depends on creating a permanent feeling of observation, which leads to disciplining individuals and organizing their behavior without the need for direct violence.
• Wearable devices are numerical aspects: modern devices operate in the same logic, as they monitor the athlete body continuously, whether by measuring the heart rate, number of steps, or even sleep quality. This continuous monitoring the athlete feels that he is always under control, even in the absence of a human observer.
Self -disciplinary: As in the bangopiticon, the feeling of observation leads to self -discipline. The athlete begins to adjust his behavior based on the data provided by devices, which enhances technology control of his body.

2. Power and Knowledge: Production of a subjugated body
Foucault sees that power is practiced not only through direct power, but also through the production of knowledge that forms individuals and makes them subject. Wearable devices produce accurate knowledge of the athlete's body, which enhances power control (in this case, technology and sports institutions).
• Transforming the body into data: The body is reduced to a series of numbers and graphs, which loses its human character and turns it into an analysis and controlled object.
• Normalization: Devices determine what is "natural" or "perfect" in physical performance, which creates new standards for the sports body. The athlete who does not adhere to these criteria is considered "unnatural" or "inactive".
3- The body as a square for conflict: between liberation and submission:-
While wearable devices are provided as tools for the editorial of athlete and improving his performance, they actually reproduce new authoritarian relationships. The body becomes an arena for the conflict between the desire to liberate through technology and submission to it.
• The apparent liberation: The devices give the athlete a sense of controlling his body, as it can track and improve its performance. But this control is fake, because the criteria on which performance is evaluated is determined by technology itself.
• New submission: The athlete becomes subject to external standards determined by the devices, which limits his freedom to understand his body self and creatively.

4. Impact on physical identity: from subjectivity to objectivity
The body is not just a biological being, it is also an essential part of the individual's identity. By converting the body into data, the wearable devices are restored to form a physical athlete identity.
• Self -loss: The body becomes a subject of study and analysis, which loses the athlete its physical sense. Instead of the body being an expression of the self, it becomes just a measurable tool.
Digital dismantling: The body is dismantled into separate parts (heart rate, calories, steps), which loses the athlete to feel its physical unit.

5. Postparton: Towards Resisting Self -Control
In light of the dominance of wearable devices, a question arises about the possibility of resisting this self -censorship. Foucault indicates that power is not absolute, but can be resisted by redefining the self and creating new spaces for freedom.
• Return the body: Athlete can redefine his body in a way that exceeds numbers and data, by focusing on self -experience and body feeling.
• Creating resistance spaces: Athletes can create spaces that allow them to exercise away from technology dominance, such as sports that depend on intuition and creativity rather than bound measurement.

conclusion:
Wearable devices are not just innocent tools for improving performance, but rather an extension of the logic of the bangopiticon that aims to monitor and discipline the body. By reading Fukawi, we can understand how these tools are reshaping the athlete's relationship with his body, and turning it into a subject of self -censorship. In the face of this reality, it becomes necessary to search for ways to reaffirm physical self and resist technology dominance.
