Sports through a scientific lens

This collection of articles looks beyond scores and standings to examine what shapes athletic performance. It connects the physical and psychological conditions associated with elite athletes to the role of technology in sports, then broadens the frame to consider how sports interact with culture. The result is a nonfiction overview that treats sport not only as competition, but also as a subject for questions about the human body, the mind, innovation, and society.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults curious about the science behind athletic performance.
  • Sports fans interested in questions beyond players’ statistics and team standings.
  • Readers exploring how technology and culture intersect with sports.

Book overview

Sports are a human universal: humans in all cultures play them, and they've done so for a long, long time. This title is for readers whose interest in sports and athleticism goes deeper than stats of their favorite players and the standings of their favorite teams. The articles collected here answer questions about the physical and psychological conditions that make elite athletes, they look at the effects of technology in sports, and they explore the ways sports interact with the larger culture.
