We all know how to run, right? One foot in front of the other. But what's actually happening from a physics perspective every single time your foot hits the ground? It's far more complex and fascinating than it seems.

1: The Physics of Running

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.
