Human body. Strength : pushing the limits
The human body is engineered for strength, power, and endurance. Awe-inspiring stories of an injured hiker who lifted a 1,200-pound boulder off his chest and a police officer who was able to outrun a raging firestorm illustrate the amazing capacities of our bones and muscles. The program highlights the importance of adrenaline in triggering life-saving bodily reactions during emergencies, while the story of a swimmer crossing the English Channel considers how the body converts carbohydrates and fat into energy
