Sport Science Anthologies of 28 Graphs Each!

Sport science anthologies from Schottenbauer Publishing offer convenient selections of 28 graphs. Excerpted from science lab manuals from the same author, these books provide graphs demonstrating a variety of scientific concepts and mathematical functions. As such, these books are suitable for inclusion in traditional classrooms for projects in writing, science, math, and physical education, from fourth grade through high school, plus some college and university.

Of particular relevance across traditional classes is The Science of Physical Fitness. This anthology provides 28 graphs of common physical fitness activities, including:
  • Aerobic Exercise 
  • Exercise Equipment 
  • Weightlifting 
Graphs contain a selection of physics data including acceleration, velocity, trajectory, and force, as well as biophysics data such as breathing, joint angle motion/positions, blood pressure and heart rate, and the electrical activity of the heart (EKG) and muscles (EMG).

Additional anthology topics include Summer Olympic Sports, Winter Olympic Sports, and more! Specific ideas for incorporating graphs into education are available in the blog Graphs in Education.

The Science of Athletic Training & Exercise Equipment: New Volumes of Graphs!

Two new science books are now available from Schottenbauer Publishing, both in English and in German translation.


Walk, Jog, & Run! The Science of Athletic Training: Volume 4
(German/Deutsch Title: Spazieren, Joggen, & Laufen! Die Wissenschaft der Athletisches Ausbildung: Band 4)


This volume includes graphs of complex athletic training exercises, including windmills, split jumps, T-pushups, burpees, squats with arm swings, and more! Graphs show x-y coordinates plotted against time, including positions of hip, knee, and ankle, shoulder, elbow, and/or wrist during exercises. 



The Science of Exercise Equipment: Volume 4 
(German/Deutsch: Heben, Schritten, & Radfahren!  Die Wissenschaft der Fitnessgeräte: Band 4)

Video analyses depict the motions involved in using common exercise equipment, including an L-Sit station, dip station, pull-up station, rowing machine, balance board, exercise wheels for hands and feet, and foam rollers. Graphs show x-y coordinates plotted against time, including positions of hip, knee, and ankle, shoulder, elbow, and/or wrist during exercises.
