Our museum does a science demonstration on the physics of ball game sports.
During the program we use a medicine ball which is large leather ball about
14 " in diameter that is extremely heavy for it's size. Several visitors
have asked the following questions regarding it:
How did the medicine ball get its name?
What country originated it?
Was it ever used in a real ball game? If so, what were the rules of the game?
I would appreciate it if any of you out there know the answers or can
direct me to where I can find them?
Thank you in advance. You many direct your comments to:
