100 meters in 8 seconds? (book)
How scientists predict the limits of athletic performance
In 1912, the world record for the 100-meter sprint was 10.6 seconds. It wasn't until 56 years later that Jim Hines broke the 10-second barrier. Usain Bolt set a new world record in 2009: 9.58 seconds! But how fast can a person actually run? Will it be possible in the future for a runner to master the 100 meters in less than 9 seconds? When will this point be reached?
And what biological, physical and ecological conditions must be met in order to achieve such absolute top performances? Based on the current world records, John Brenkus uses statistics, physics and physiology to explain the limits of top athletic performance in a clear and easy-to-understand way and identifies a value for each sport that athletes can approach but never exceed. For years, coaches, experts and sports enthusiasts have speculated about human peak performance. This book now provides the answer.
