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 NASCAR™.

Additionally, you might want to conduct some further research to find information about a sport or recreation activity that you enjoy.

During the unit address the following questions:

  1. Share some information about the science behind your sport or recreation of choice.
  2. How can you categorize the scientific information that you learned about your sport/recreation? Does it involve physics, chemistry, and/or biology, for example?
  3. What technological advances have been made in your favorite activity during its history?
  4. Have there been any previously held beliefs or customs in your sport/recreation that have been dismissed by scientific research? If so, please explain.
  5. Now that you have done some research on the science involved in your favorite activity, do you think you can use that information to perform better? Why, or why not?

Explanation & Answer

Here is what I came up with for the horse racing paper!Let me know if you have any questions!Sincerely,Pamela

1. Share some information about the science behind your sport or recreation of choice.
When people think about horses and equine-related sports (such as horse racing), they
usually don’t think about the science behind how horses’ bodies run. Their bodies are
aerodynamic which allows them to go very fast and they also crouch when galloping. Their flow
of oxygen in the blood works with their strides and makes them even more efficient runners.
“Horses can inhale only when their front hooves are striding outward. They exhale when all four
legs come together” (Roach, 2013).

2. How can you categorize the scientific information that you learned about your
sport/recreation? Does it involve physics, chemistry, and/or biology, for examp...
