Physics of Sports

“Physics of Sports” explores the fundamental physics principles underpinning athletic performance across various sports. It unveils the science of motion, energy, and materials within the realm of athletics, offering insights into how physics affects everything from running speed to the trajectory of sports projectiles. For instance, understanding aerodynamics helps explain how spin influences a curveball or how a ski jumper achieves flight. The book delves into the aerodynamics of sports projectiles, the biomechanics of human movement, and the properties of sports equipment. Examining muscle movement, joint action, and leverage reveals how athletes efficiently generate force and power. By connecting physics, engineering, physiology, and sports science, this book bridges the gap between abstract physics concepts, like Newton's laws of motion and energy conservation, and real-world sports applications.

The book's structure progresses from introducing fundamental physics concepts to applying them to specific sports, analyzing athletic movements, and considering practical applications such as optimizing training techniques. Supported by real-world examples, experimental data, and computer simulations, “Physics of Sports” enhances our understanding of athletic achievements and provides insights into optimizing training and equipment design. This makes it valuable for sports enthusiasts, science students, coaches, and those in the sports equipment industry.
