Synopsis

When you hear about the latest physics breakthroughs on the news, or attend university or college physics courses, it can be easy to think of physics as just an academic subject. But physics does much more than describe how matter and energy behave. It reveals how almost everything around us and, even, within us works. In fact, physics-based technologies are integral to many of the work and leisure activities we carry out everyday without giving science a second thought.

This book explores the use of physics in various sports, and how professional athletes, coaches and amateurs in different sports use physics, and physics-based technologies, to participate in that sport and raise their performance levels as high as possible.
