ISBN: 9780061845451 - the perfection point: sport science predicts the fastest man, the highest jump, and the limits of athletic performance (19 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Good. What's the fastest a human can run the 100-meter sprint?What's the longest a human can hold his breath? What are the limits of human performance?Until 1954, common wisdom and scientific knowledge considered a sub-four-minute mile an impossible feat for a human. But then Roger Bannister broke that mark, followed quickly by a host of other athletes. Today the world record stands at 3 minutes, 43 seconds, yet even that number doesn't tell the full story of how fast humans can run a mile--records are a mark of how well people have done, not how well they can do. In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, John Brenkus ventures across the sports world to provide an in-depth look at the absolute limits of human performance. For years, coaches, pundits, and experts have speculated about the extremes of human ability. The Perfection Point finally provides the answers.--The Week.…
