La ciencia de los campeones

Is mathematics related to Carolina Marín's triumphs? How does chemistry influence Nadal's victories against Federer? Is the science behind the Ona Carbonell medals? Did physics help make Michael Jordan a legend? And to Induráin to win five Tours de France? Does physiology play a role in Lydia Valentin's lifts? Can science help a goalkeeper save a penalty? Did the Spanish Soccer Team win the World Cup in South Africa thanks to geometry? How can Tiger Woods and Ruth Beitia foster a critical spirit and a scientific vocation? Always from the rigor, but in the close and carefree register that characterizes the great scientific popularizer José Manuel López Nicolás, The Science of Champions reveals the chemistry, physics, mathematics or technology that are hidden behind sports. A book designed to enjoy science while learning endless curiosities.
