Science Behind Athletics

Behind every long stride, high-flying pole vault and perfectly controlled discus throw, science is at work. As a high jumper takes off, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Find out how science is involved in Olympic track and field events and how athletes take science into account in their quest for the gold medal.

In spatele fiecarui pas lung, saritura cu stalp de mare zbor si aruncare de disc perfect controlata, stiinta functioneaza. Pe masura ce un jumper inalt decoleaza, energia potentiala este convertita in energie cinetica.
