Figure skating, which is the world’s most popular winter Olympic sport, is the subject of this volume. Though figure skaters are often known for their theatrical and artistic performances, author Jennifer Mac Kay outlines for readers the complex physical and biomechanical properties at work in this beautiful and demanding sport. From the development of the indoor ice rink, to the application of Newton’s laws of motion, to the psychological challenges faced by many skaters, Mac Kay explores how these athletes achieve amazing physical accomplishments and perfect their art.
