Sports scientists are used in a variety of ways. Manufacturers of equipment use scientists, as do beverage companies (like Gatorade), owners of teams (to work on facilities and care), as well as doctors.

Science is used to find optimal conditions for whatever the problem at hand is. Gatorade was developed by scientists to solve the problem of athletes being dehydrated. Water wasn't enough to properly hydrate them fast enough, so scientists added electrolytes (salts) to properly hydrate them.

New shoes and sports equipment hit the market all the time. They are lighter, stronger and more durable than their predecessors.

There are plenty more things that sports scientists can do.
