The Evolution of Science and Sports
Sports have probably been around as long as there have been people. Every society has its favorite pastimes, and today with ever-advancing technologies there is the ability to design high-tech equipment and utilize a host of specialists to help athletes perform better. It is such an important part of society that there are now fields dedicated to the study of sports medicine and fitness. No matter what sport or type of recreation you enjoy, the principles of science are involved.
Take a look at how science helps in different sports from football, to swimming, to NASCARTM .
