Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

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. A discus thrower builds up momentum while spinning. 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.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Going for the gold -- Run like the wind -- One giant leap -- Throwing competitions.

"Discusses science of track and field events using biology and physics"-- Provided by publisher.
