Resourse of the Week: MIT OpenCourseWare

A BIG thanks to Charles M. "CrossFit/Gymnastics Extraordinaire" for sharing this amazing resource that is the MIT OpenCourseWare program. Below is a video from the course "Chemistry of Sports". The seminars focus on three sports: swimming, cycling and running. There's two components to the seminars: classroom sessions and a "laboratory" in the form of a structured training program. The classroom components introduce the students to the chemistry of their own biological system. With swimming, running and cycling as sample sports, students are encouraged to apply their knowledge to complete a triathlon shortly after the term.



"MIT OpenCourseWare (MIT OCW) is an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to put all of the educational materials from its undergraduate- and graduate-level courses online, partly free and openly available to anyone, anywhere, by the end of the year 2007. MIT OpenCourseWare can be considered as a large-scale, web-based publication of MIT course materials."-wiki
