| 1 | What is it About?
This dilemma tells the story of an athlete who has their future health threatened by a sporting injury. The dilemma sets up the counter-arguments of whether it is better to spend money on fixing sports injuries or major diseases, and also provides a context for the study of biomechanics and the physics of human movement. |
