Knowing the facts about fitness and your body can help you plan and stay on track with your work out regimen. Therefore, building knowledge around the science of your body becomes crucial, especially if you are a trainer.

If you don’t understand the basics of energy systems, muscle behavior, force vector or muscle stress, you shouldn’t call yourself a trainer.

A successful personal trainer needs to develop adequate knowledge in fields such as biology, biomechanics, anatomy, and physiology, hence having the Sports Science Quiz app becomes paramount.

Think sports and the words that spring to mind are likely to be fitness, exercise, competition, endurance, and fun. Science, however, is probably not among them. It’s obvious to anyone who loves a sport that it’s a powerful demonstration of pushing the human body to its limits.

Sports Science Quiz app developed by Mina Reeve, a Kenyan Exercise and Science teacher at Braeburn is useful to those who want to learn or test their knowledge about the science side of sports. It also helps those who frequent the gym or like to engage in fitness know the muscles they are working. Those who engage in motorsports such as motorbikes could benefit from learning about biomechanics things like Newton’s laws and how much “lean” or “torque” to apply to different parts. Those who play football should learn about power and how to curve the ball using the Bernoulli principle.

Sports and science merge together so well, and the Sports Science Quiz app marries the two concepts perfectly. Test your knowledge. Everyone thinks they know a lot about fitness and sports and science, but do you know it better than a high school student? While the app is targeted towards young adults, anyone at any age can enjoy using the app. You can download it from App Store and Play Store.
