Question: What is sports science

Sports science is a genneral term for the scientific study of everything related to sport, health and physical activity. There are loads of different sections to it, skill learning and motor behvaiour is my area of study, but there’s the study of how the body performs various activities and their effect on it (physiology) and the mental side of sport and PE, how do we motivate ourselves, how can we optimise our performance etc (psychology) and lots of additional areas too!! It’s a very large subject area!!
