In Sports Science, we learn how sports and exercise science can benefit everyone, not just athletes. We find out about how the body responds to exercise, the role of nutrition and sports psychology in improving performance, how biomechanics can improve efficiency and reduce injuries, and see examples of training regimes. Learn about how the body obtains and uses energy during exercise, the ways in which fitness is measured, and the effects of stress, dehydration, and overtraining.

Reviews

Library Media Connection - Ann Bryan Nelson

Appealing cover illustrations and formats encourage students to learn more about these new science fields. Relevant education is furthered by this series’ goal to illustrate science education’s use in everyday life. Useful for assigned nonfiction reading, these books offer vocabulary and background information for student writers. A list of topics to research adds to their value. The glossary would be improved with pronunciation help. Bibliography. Websites. Index.
