Phillip J Fry 0 Posted June 17, 2013 [quote user="Herman "]I''ve heard the job title many times now, but what does a sports scientist actually do?[/quote]Basically they''re researchers who specialise on how the body responds to excercise, training and the effect of stimuli and environmental changes. Sports scientists are the guys who can extrapolate running patterns from GPS data and then transfer that to a specialized training and diet plan, aimed at achieving peak performance. Some players (Like Bellamy) swear by the guys and credit them for extending their careers despite injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
