There is physics apart of all sports. An example of a sport with some of the most obvious characteristics of physics includes one of the most physical sports there is, hockey. To begin, the speed involved with hockey plays a key role in how the sport is played and speed is also a large part of physics. Momentum: "The quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity." Hockey also requires momentum and the weight of the players is what keeps them moving on the ice. What also keeps the players moving on the ice is the friction between his/her skates and the ice. Without friction, hockey players wouldn't be able to move and skate around on the ice. It's very clear that hockey would be an impossible game to play if it weren't for physics.
