The Hardest Thing to Do in Sports?

Maybe it's hitting a 100 MPH fastball? Maybe it isn't? Topics like this are tackled in Sport Science, a series of one-hour shows featuring athletes and scientists. Fox Sports News and Cable in the Classroom offer teachers commercial-free, education-edited versions of the shows, which began at the end of September 2007. Among the science concepts to be featured in the programs are: velocity, mass, speed, volume, aerodynamics, skeletons, muscles, nerves, sports safety, and mathematical responses. Tune in to learn: "Why does an NFL player care more about how fast he can stop running than how fast he can start?" and "How do factors such as altitude, noise and injuries affect overall performance?" Fox Sports News carries the complete series, and the commercial-free version is available from Cable in the Classroom, Thursdays at 7 am local time.
