About This Podcast

Have you ever wondered what fundamental science really plays into your sport? It's one thing to just perform, but another thing to be curious and understand on a deeper level. Here in Jarvis Sport Science, we'll explore the fundamental physics that govern movement – from the ground reaction forces that propel a runner, to the fluid dynamics a swimmer fights, to the leverage systems a weightlifter employs. We'll unpack the biomechanics of technique, the mechanical feats of our gear, and integrate the essential human biology that allows us to adapt, recover, and perform.
