Sports Science

This category is for sites on the Science of sports. Products for sale or business listings are unlikely to be listed here.

Here you'll find all kinds of information, whether it's the physics of a fastball, the chemistry of running shoe soles or ways to use statistics and mathematics to better model sports outcomes.

This is not about sports training as such. Those go into Sports/Training for example, but not here.
