I think they will be called body transplants.
It should become possible to have a standard socket fitted to every body neck.
Then you could swap bodies depending on what you wanted to do.
Running a marathon, scuba swimming, high altitude work, competitive sports......
Bodies develop muscle memory so that movements become instinctive.
It is also useful to swap if a body gets badly injured.
Amputees already do this by fitting special blades for running, etc.
