They stretch and chat before the session, which will prepare them for an Ironman event, an extreme triathlon. Their trainer wears shorts emblazoned with the sun of the Argentine flag. Streaks of his peroxide-blond hair are faded blue; he dyed it in support of the national team during the World Cup last year.

Experts at the University of New South Wales wanted to find out whether young tech natives had mastered the art of multitasking, and could safely type messages on the go. To find out they recruited 50 students and invited them to walk on an engineered floor with moving tiles to simulate a slipping hazard. Continued here
