This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature on the physics of sports, updating Resource Letter PS-1, published 25 years ago (Ref. 17). The intent is to suggest literature for anyone curious about the basic physics of particular sports, for physics teachers searching for sports examples to augment their teaching, and for physicists contemplating research on unsolved sports-related questions.
