Question: Can u help me??? I have to do this stupid essay thing about the science of sports. How can biology, chemistry, geology, and meteorology affect sports??? I know it may sound messed up, but that's what I have to write about. If u know any website where I can find some info on this stuff then PLEASE give it to me. I've been searching on dogpile for over an hour and can't find anything. . .

Answer: Geology and Meteorology sound like a stretch, but biology and chemistry would be easy to tie into sports.  Here's parts of a syllabus on a college course titled "Sports Biology":\n\nFor instance a grounding in basic anatomy and physiology is essential for an understanding of exercise physiology and muscle mechanics...Elementary biochemistry and cellular biology provides a rational basis for understanding and improving power and endurance training, as well as mechanisms of recovery from exhaustion and cell and tissue repair.\n...the importance of nutrition and exercise and include the issues and risks of performance enhancing substances such as steroids."\n\nHow an athlete performs is pretty much all based on biology - energy, etc.  Chemistry can be applied to stereoids, sports drinks, etc.
