Aftalion, Amandine: Be a Champion

40 Facts You Didn't Know About Sports and Science. Translated from the original French Edition. Why do you lean in a bend? Why does a sprinter slow down before the finish line? Why do golf balls have dimples? Why do you swim better slightly underwater? Why, on a bike, the faster you go, the more stable you are? Why shouldn’t you rely on doping tests too much? Is there a law of evolution of records? These are some of the 40 questions that Amandine Aftalion answers in this book using simple physics and mathematics, and some humor. Not only will it allow you to improve yourself in sports, but it will also give way to understanding how champions do. An easy book to read and the must to have if you are a sports addict or if you watch sports on TV and ask yourself "why". XII,177 Seiten mit 77 Farbabb., broschiert (Copernicus Books/Springer 2024)
