sports and chemistry

The advancements of chemistry have really helped the sports world thrive with new ideas and ways to make the performance of athletes better. Chemists designed fabrics that are synthetic and can help an athlete to either stay drier or swim faster. Also by creating bicycles using lighter metals they are able to make the bicycle faster and more efficient. They would either be made of aluminum, titanium, and other light weight metals rather than steel which they were originally made of. These major advancements and the gaining of knowledge of chemistry make it possible for athletes to make their performance better.
