Why are forces important in sports?
All sports involve forces. Athletes could not run without the force of friction to prevent their feet slipping. In every ball game, a force applied to the ball makes it move, whether from the kick of a footballer or the action of a tennis racket. In motor sports, forces make the vehicles move, and other forces are needed to stop them.
All sports players, for example hammer throwers and American footballers, make use of forces.
