Sports science

Sports science is like the doctor for sports teams. Just like how you go to the doctor to make sure your body is healthy, sports teams have sports scientists to make sure their bodies are healthy too.

These scientists study how the body works when we exercise or play sports. They learn things like how our heart and lungs work, how our muscles move, and how we can become stronger and faster.

They also figure out ways to prevent injuries, like how to make sure our muscles are strong enough to handle the work we do while playing sports.

Sports scientists use a lot of fancy technology to measure things like how fast we run, how high we can jump, and how strong we are.

So basically, sports science helps athletes get better at their sport AND stay healthy while doing it!
