What is Momentum? Mechanics in Sport

What is momentum? What does it have to do with collisions in sport? And how are jumping and sprinting momentum related? This video explains the concept of linear momentum, as well as the conservation of momentum. These topics are frequently covered in mechanics or biomechanics courses, as well as in A Level and GCSE Physics / Science. These principles are then applied to the prediction of sprint momentum from jump momentum in athletes.
