Description
Looking at the science behind sports through a combination of facts and science experiments that can be done with ordinary household items, this book explains how balls and pucks travel through the air, how drag slows athletes down and how sports equipment has changed over the years. It tells how muscles work when athletes run and jump, why world records are always being broken and how brain and body type affect performance. Humorous illustrations accompany the text.
