Season 7: Sports and Science
Manage episode 436872548 series 3530407
Every part of a sport, from the clothing to the equipment, even to the playing field, has been enhanced by science. In this podcast, we look at how agricultural science has impacted sports, like how hydration can affect an athlete, not only physically but psychologically; and how nanoparticles can help uniforms control sweat and odor. We’ll also look at improved natural grasses for playing fields, and how enhancing the process for making leather materials results in better quality sports gloves. And we’ll talk with a nutrition expert about how to keep your body in top shape for athletics.
