Science of sport tackles the beautiful game. Football is the most popular sport on the planet and this programme investigates how science is making football players fitter, stronger and mentally tough enough to compete at the highest level. We also use science to explain breathtaking skills and look out how technology has revolutionised football boots and balls. Join National Geographic as we talk to top International player like England captain David Beckham, Manchester United superstar Ryan Giggs and England defender Gareth Southgate about how science has helped them become better players.
