Chemistry Calendar, August: Sports

When we are physically active our body will burn the chemically stored energy we get from the food we eat. But what happens if we don't do any exercise at all? In the eighth video of the Chemistry Calendar we do a little chemistry experiment to compare our energy expenditure between rest and hard training. The Chemistry Calendar is a joint project between Molecular Frontiers, Chalmers University of Technology, University of Gothenburg and Universeum. We work together with film company Untamed Science to launch a video per month during the International Year of Chemistry 2011.
