English term or phrase: Research project on the lubrication factor of chalk.
Research project on the lubrication factor of chalk.

Title of a research project I am doing. I plan on having it in different languages all over my poster board. That is why I asked this same question in a different language previously. Thank you and sorry for the repetitive questions!

* the chalk I mean is the chalk used for sports such as gymnastics.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Dagmar Turčanová: In my opinion it is not correct to translate "chalk" as "magnesium", these are two different substances
8 hrs
disagree  Radovan Pletka: There is nothing about chalk powder in the source text
12 hrs
  -> Source English text cannot be always translated into Slovak word by word. If the context says that it is used for sports, I guess it could be chalk powder.
agree  Kralicky: chalk = krieda

Explanation:
It would be inappropriate to translate "chalk" using the obvious option "krieda". Sportsmen use a powder called "magnézium, magnézia"

disagree  Radovan Pletka: Magnesium and chalk are not the same
5 hrs
  -> That is actually my point. I can tell from my own experience that gymnasts do not use chalk,
disagree  Kralicky: magnezium is entirely different substance than chalk
