Há duas décadas pesquisadores vêm estudando a aerodinâmica da bola de futebol, e testes recentes sugerem que a bola da Copa de 2026 é mais estável, mas com um alcance ligeiramente menor
For two decades, researchers have studied soccer ball aerodynamics. Latest tests suggest the 2026 ball is more stable, but with a slightly shorter range.
Athletes will use physics concepts such as friction and lift to their advantage on the world stage in the 2026 Olympic Games.
Staging the spectacle in Qatar has raised rights issues and concerns about the heat. But away from the controversy, there will be the usual mix of sporting moments, supporters’ joy and heartache.
Adidas releases a new ball for every World Cup. At the highest level of play, a ball that behaves in unexpected ways can throw players off. A sports physicist explains the science of this year’s ball.
Le Tour 2022 arrive en France… Vingt-et-une étapes cette année, au cours desquelles les coureurs parcourront plus de 3 400 km. Voici l’estimation de l’incroyable quantité d’énergie qu’ils vont brûler.
Three scientists explain the biology and physics of what goes into one of the world’s most grueling races, the Tour de France.
Riders in the 2022 Tour de France will ride more than 2,100 miles (3,400 km) over the 21 flat and mountainous stages of the race. And they will burn an incredible amount of energy while doing so.
It may look like athletes in bobsled, luge and skeleton simply grab a sled and hang on until the bottom, but high-speed physics and tiny motions mean the difference between gold and a crash.
Riders in the 2021 Tour de France will ride more than 2,100 miles (3,400 km) over the 21 flat and mountainous stages of the race. And they will burn an incredible amount of energy while doing so.
Pitchers in Major League Baseball have been striking out more batters than ever, and some people say it’s because they’re adding sticky stuff to the balls.
