Snake-oils, supplements and the pinnacle of data presentation

Ross · 28 Feb 2011 ·

A big part of the reason for our existence at The Science of Sport is the clear and creative presentation and discussion of scientific subjects and concepts.  The idea was to make sports science more accessible, whether you’re an interested reader, a coach, a high school teacher, a student, a scientist in an unrelated field, […]

Performance implications of Pistorius advantages

Ross · 26 Feb 2011 ·

I was going to delay this analysis until after the IAAF World Champs, which got underway this morning with a dominant Kenyan display in the women’s marathon.

Then a series of leaked emails, a Wall Street Journal […]
