There is a case of a person who does not produce lactic acid, this leads to no muscle fatigue, this man can literally run forever and it is been tested, he ran for 10 hours straight and was not tired in the end. Faith could be another case of this.
Well, he definitely needs muscle fatigue to survive. There is also a girl named Olivia Farnsworth who doesn't feel pain, hunger and fatigue due to genetic disorder. Idiots think she is a living bionic girl but in reality, she is one of the worst disabled human ever.
If that true... She have to be trained by scientists. Bcuz if she can t feel being tired she probly die in her first exercise. She could hurt herself and not being aware of it. We feel muscle fatigue for we hit nearly our muscles limit... So she trained by elite scientists to ultimate gain muscle powa...
you also forget that faith is not an atlethe in a fair regulated competition, but an outlaw triyng to survive. avoiding doping would be nonsensical in her situation, especially considering that the story takes place in the future where medicine is likely to be more efficient at minimalizing the side effects from continued use. not saiyng doping is good but in a lifestile that is a perpetual life or death situation is quite an asset to consider. dont use doping if you think it will hurt you and never ever to cheat a competition. alson dont drink and dope.
you should have seen the redacted version of the cooment then. something along the lines of NO I DONT DO DOPING doping bad fair sport good I would never EVER in my life do doping. bad bad very bad. bad doping. bad. I now, writing this for the second time realize once again why this should stay redacted, but I tiped it so screw that
Mmh that is something i never considered,if i want to be more atletic but i don t want to to compete ,only for myself, i shouldn t have any problem about using doping substances
@@junichiroyamashita While in theory true, it won't really work that way unfortunately. Most substances used for doping only "make sense" if someone is already close to peak performance and wants to either progress beyond what is naturally possible or speed up reaching the last 5 percent. Additionally it doesn't really reduce the amount of exercise necessary to reach the goal of being or at least appearing more athletic. Steroids for example lead to bulking up more quickly, but a lot of people just end up looking overweight because they neglect fat burning exercises. Other stuff like Erythropoietin (EPO) is only useful in the aforementioned case that someone is already at very high levels of endurance and the ability of the blood to transport oxygen is the limiting factor. A large part of what is on the list is also only useful for a short amount of time like stimulants and narcotics (even caffeine was there until 2005). Those don't really make any sense for casual use (unless you want to get high), because of the inevitable crash afterwards. And then there's the fact that most of those substances are quite dangerous or at least detrimental to the health in the long run. But as saverio sassetti said, in Faith's case all that doesn't matter even ignoring the fact that the story takes place in the future. She would abuse stimulants and pain suppressors all the time, because only survival in the short term matters - who cares about dying ten or twenty years early or crashing hard once she's in a safe place. For normal use (i.e. no life or death situation) I'd stick to the legal supplements (proteine, BCAA, creatine, etc. - depending on the type of exercise/sport), but even those only make sense with huge amounts of exercise like more than two hours every day - otherwise nothing is needed at all aside from a balanced diet.
@Sverenja Oh, doping is very much possible in lower regions as well. For example one of the favorite "dopings" in amateur soccer is taking an Aspirin before the game. It lowers the pain and sense of fatigue, and since aspirin thins your blood it actually makes it flow faster, meaning more oxygen for your muscles. Of course this increases the risk of bleeding and means any bruises you get will eb that much worse, so I don´t recommend it at all. But it is definately possible and I guess there are other methods as well.
+thomas karnick He knows people heard that and no, he doesn't care. It adds to the entertainment-value of the video. The comedic timing of it was also spot on. If I gathered anything of Austin's videos.. It's that he has made these into a science itself.
Fun fact, humans are the best runners in the world for many reasons, one of which being the ability to comfortably breathe while running like described in this video. We run, we breathe more, sounds obvious however then we have to consider that that simple biological mechanism is unique to us only. Every other animal actually has a system which requires their lungs use less power to boost power in other areas of the body, this allows animals like dogs, horses and cheetahs the ability to run very fast for short times. This is why animals when they stop exercising such as your dog after a long walk will start to pant and stop. Even on a hot day, the animal will stop in the hot sun just to breathe but unless you are really unfit, simply walking for 3 hours should be no problem for you but you will need to take a break, not for you but for your dog. Humans don't pant which is one of the reasons why we are the best runners on the planet. Not to mention our bipedal stance allowing us the ability to see over tall grass for predator and prey, for the purposes of running, prey is more important here (you may be able to run further than a lion, but that doesn't mean the lion won't catch you in a few seconds as it is temporarily faster) after prey spots you it keeps running until it stops to pant, as we are bipedal we can briskly walk towards the prey as we can see it and interrupt its panting, it runs until it has to pant again. This keeps repeating until the prey is so exhausted you as a human can approach it and killing it is now no problem. Hell if you're lucky, the creature starts hyperventilating and suffocates right in front of you, giving you a meal that the only work you had to do was keep your eyes on it and walk. The way our feet are shaped and ankles designed allow us to traverse many different types of terrain better than any other animal, being able to cross snow, sand, marshland, dirt, ice, and even vertical rocks. Our fat is in convenient places, most other animals have their only fat storing place as between their legs which they will kick and run into with their back legs causing problems. Humans can store fat above their legs and on the back (their butt) allowing for out of the way storage. Not to mention the butt is like a counter-weight to hold us up, similar to a tail. The breast are also fat storage areas for women and are also conveniently located as they are still out of the way, but also extend the distance a child can be from the body allowing the mother to be able to see both the child and the surroundings without 100% looking down. There are still more reasons why humans are better runners than the rest of the planet, but those are the main ones.
I skipped reading all of that, for another Video, subscribe and remember to skip this comment as by the time I read it, I could have made more money than Bill Gates... That was a Joke (Except for the part where I didn't read it, its too long) (That's what She said.)
TheWindigomonster have you have of Hysterical strength is a display of extreme strength by humans, beyond what is believed to be normal, usually occurring when people are in life-and-death situations. Common anecdotal examples include parents lifting vehicles to rescue their children. The extra strength is commonly attributed to increased adrenaline production, though supporting evidence is scarce, and inconclusive when available; research into the phenomenon is difficult, though it is thought that it is theoretically possible.[1] Extreme strength may occur during excited delirium.[2][3] Examples Edit The most common anecdotal examples are of parents lifting vehicles to rescue their children, and when people are in life-and-death situations. Hysterical strength can result in torn muscles due to higher mechanical stress. before May 1962, Jack Kirby claims he saw a woman lift a car off her baby, which inspired him to create the Hulk.[4][5][6] In 1982, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, Tony Cavallo was repairing a 1964 Chevrolet Impala automobile from underneath. The vehicle was propped up with jacks, but it fell. Cavallo's mother, Mrs. Angela Cavallo, lifted the car high enough and long enough for two neighbours to replace the jacks and pull Tony from beneath the car.[7] In 2006, Ivujivik, Quebec, resident Lydia Angiyou saved several children by fighting a polar bear until a local hunter shot it.[8] In 2006, in Tucson, Arizona, Tom Boyle watched as a Chevrolet Camaro hit 18-year-old Kyle Holtrust. The car pinned Holtrust, still alive, underneath. Boyle lifted the Camaro off the teenager, while the driver of the car pulled the teen to safety.[7][9] In 2009, in Ottawa, Kansas, 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in), 84 kg (185 lb) Nick Harris lifted a Mercury sedan to help a 6-year-old girl pinned beneath.[10] In 2009, in Newport, Wales, Donna McNamee, Abigail Sicolo, and Anthony McNamee lifted a 1.1 ton Renault Clio off of an 8-year-old boy.[11] In 2011, in Tampa, Florida, 1.91 m (6 ft 3 in), 134 kg (295 lb) University of South Florida college football player Danous Estenor lifted a 1,600 kg (3,500 lb) car off of a man who had been caught underneath. The man was a tow truck driver who had been pinned under the rear tire of a 1990 Cadillac Seville, which had lurched forward as he worked underneath it. The man suffered only minor injuries.[12] In 2012, in Glen Allen, Virginia, 22-year-old Lauren Kornacki rescued her father, Alec Kornacki, after the jack used to prop up his BMW slipped, pinning him under it. Lauren lifted the car, then performed CPR on her father and saved his life.[13] In 2012, in Michigan, Austin Smith (age 15) lifted a car to save his grandfather pinned underneath [14][15] In 2013, in Oregon, teenage sisters Hannah (age 16) and Haylee (age 14) lifted a tractor to save their father pinned underneath.[16] In 2013, in Salvage, Newfoundland and Labrador, Cecil Stuckless, a 72 year old man lifted a Jeep to save his son-in-law pinned underneath [17][18] In 2015, in St. John's, Newfoundland, Nick Williams lifted a four-wheel-drive vehicle to save a young boy pinned beneath its tire.[19] In 2017, in Temple Terrace, Florida, Kenny Franklin, lifted an SUV from a state trooper after an accident [20][21] In 2019, in Ohio, Zac Clark a 16 year old football player, lifted a 3,000 lb car when he heard his neighbor call for help.[22][23] Research Edit Early experiments showed that adrenaline increases twitch, but not tetanic force and rate of force development in muscles.[24] It is questionable, however, as to whether adrenaline, released from the adrenal medulla into the venous circulation, can reach the muscle quickly enough in order to be able to cause such an effect in the midst of a crisis. It may be that noradrenaline released from sympathetic nerve terminals directly innervating skeletal muscle[25] has more of an effect over the timescale of seconds. Amphetamine and other stimulants are used by some athletes for their psychological and performance-enhancing effects.[26][27] In competitive sports, this form of use is prohibited by anti-doping regulations.[26] In healthy people at oral therapeutic doses, amphetamine has been shown to increase physical strength,[26][28] acceleration,[26][28] stamina,[26][29] and endurance,[26][29] while reducing reaction time.[26] Amphetamine exerts its effects in humans primarily as a releasing agent of dopamine and norepinephrine in the central nervous system, and secondarily via inhibition of reuptake of noradrenaline and dopamine, similar to methylphenidate and bupropion.[28][29].
With adrenaline people have been reported to do crazy things, apparently parents have been known to lift cars to save their kids powered by the adrenaline of the circumstance
@-T-X-M- every science teacher is smart enough to know how to use both, at least in America they are. Only elementary and below teaches imperial, beyond that is metric.
Does no one notices that he didn't point out how long Faith has been doing this? YEARS. Faith ran away from home at 16 years, and became a runner at... well shit. I can't find anything on this, so let's assume that she eighteen when she starts.This game takes place when she is 22. And her age in the original at 24. I mean, four years of practice and experience has to do something right? Even further in the original was 6 years of experience and training. Just something to consider I guess.
@@Ninacska93 But technically speaking, if your pain treshold is higher, shouldn't you be able to go beyond your limits while running? Assuming your adrenaline kicks in while reaching your limit.
i wouldnt call it raising the threshold for pain. It's more like it delays the brain's acknowledgement of pain. you can get injured during exertion but you won't really feel the pain if say your life is at risk until after your body has deemed itself safe and resumes normal operations letting the adrenaline levels subside. pain would hamper performance in times of stress so your body will ignore it at the cost of more pain later on in exchange for possible survival or safety.
Tbf its not like there's much to do in jail for entertainment or to kill time except work out, but yeah she should still be a bit rusty and have to reacclimate herself rather than simply get to it without delay.
Why? It's not like she was left to atrophe, right? She coulda been day in, day out doing burpees in there for all we know. Parkour is an entirely different skillset, but at least the muscles and flexibility it uses can be trained.
In the Netherlands, and... incase you think I'm stupid and can't make calculations (just incase)... then I am sorry to report, that you completely missed my point :p I was referring to the genious way in which the Shoddycast does those calculations, and about the fact that the calculation about faith in this video, went on for much longer then what I'm used to, and it kept on going and going.
Bob Jones Nah A levels in the UK are the last exams you do before Uni (Sort of like SAT's I think) they determine wether you get into uni or not. I'm hopefully going to uni next year (Hoping to study Theoretical Physics)
doing parkour without caring about your knees is pure danger, you'll kill your knees in the long run!! ( it's going to feel like this, you're doing pk without a warmup and just jumping from high spots, it wont feel bad at first in your knees, but if you're doing it everytime when you are not strong enough physically your knees will probably be in bad condition.) Soooo have good technique, be strong, be aware of your surroundings, if possible check the obstacles you will use while freerunning to make sure they don't break
Sometimes i dont spend enough time warming up, but i also dont take lots of impacts just small stuff or some light technique when i do. I picked up a warm up from the tapp brothers that works pretty well i use it for all my training.
yes. fuck tendonitis, fuck modern media sensationalism of parkour, and fuck not having the old practicing techniques(TCT 2006, Yamakasi, well yamakasi, ADD, 1920s-present) I was part of the next gen, got my legs fucked after two years of abysmally little conditioning
The length for how long he can talk and how fast is just amazing. He actually puts his voice and heart AND LUNGS to the limit just to feed us information
I really love the parts when you can drop from something into a downward slide as well, possibly absorbing an even greater fall this way, especially if you where to roll afterwards as well
Ok, ik i'm kinda late for this but i do parkour and here are my points: -Mirror's edge has the most realistic parkour mechanics of any game, but the flow is kinda weird if you compare it to irl parkour because the player's POV kinda goes up and down too much when you jump. -It is totally possible to run all that time (let's say 10-15 mins per level) because parkour is surprisingly energy efficient when you flow correctly, and lactic acid dows not build up too much if you're using all of your body and keeping a medium pace. To achieve that endurance you need good cardio though. -The stuff that would be a problem if you were doing this irl are: 1) big heights, which could be rolled off easily when you have more horizontal than vertical speed 2) grip: assuming you don't know the grip of your shoe and or hand in every surface of every level in the game, there's a big chance you might slip somewhere 3) ankle thing: this rare phenomenon happens usually when you do a jump slightly bigger than your personal best. I's really painful and might stop you from walking for 1-2 minutes, def the worst situation in a police chase.
As someone who's been practicing parkour for 8 years, and have dedicated my life to mastering as much as I can, I am very impressed with your accuracy and portrial of how the sport works. Also bonus points for pointing out the difference between freerunning, and parkour. All the Assassin's Creed games say "Hold R2 to freerun," and it pisses me off.
4:21 I cringe at people who don't have the faintest idea how useful rolls can be at spreading out momentum That's probably why I don't have any friends.
lol, everybody that can move should be able to understand simple stuff like... falling is bad... quick stops are harder than slow stops or no stops at all... oh yeah... we are talking about humans in 2017, missed that, sry
To avoid confusing the gamer by having an off-center perspective. The game gives me enough motion sickness as it is, *without* doing shoulder-to-hip rolls (like she should do).
To make it playable. If she rolled to the side, it would be hard to tell where you are going, cause unlike in real life, you can't physically feel the enviroment in mirrors edge cause it's a game. It does fuck up some people who think you are supossed to roll like that, but for speedrunners, it saves them, cause if she rolled like in a functional breakfall from shoulder to hip, you would lose sense of direction.
I remember, half my life ago when I was a jacked up beast on the farm during hay season. The hay loft elevator (more like a conveyor belt that goes up to the top of the barn) broke down and I spent 7 hours throwing 50-75 pound bales of hay up into the loft by hand. At the end of the day, my arms and legs were burning like hell fire and I was pissing what looked like black coffee. I could just barely move at all and felt like smashed ass. I can't remember what it was called but apparently the lactic acid and I think proteins maybe? Were going straight into my kidneys and wrecking the shit out of them. Apparently it can cause outright kidney failure... But I was going non stop for 7 hours so... yeah... you literally can work yourself to death apparently. Can someone tell me what the hell that condition is called?
the thing I really like most about the falls in mirror's edge (I practiced at a parkour gym on occasion - I was terrible) is that they follow the absolute core tenet of NEVER crossing the line of your spinal column. Faith is always canted off to one side, ever so slightly, when she rolls. That keeps all of the force distributed on one lateral side of her body and imparts none of it into the spinal column. Ribs are flexible and can eat a ton of impact force that vertebrae cannot which is textbook perfect. So a forward roll like faith pulls off when she lands instead of a crossbody roll is very well researched.
Sorry bro but that’s incorrect. She rolls directly straight from head to tailbone. That’s going right over the spine. As opposed to left shoulder to the right Iliac crest which puts most of the force to the shoulder then spreads it along the whole back and ends right before you hit you bony hip.
As someone who couldn't speak a word of english 2 years ago I'm really proud of myself to have understood everything you said (on a lingual level) The Science! series became one of my favourite series on youtube thanks for that
10:46 ""I am the very model of a modern Major-General" "I've information vegetable, animal and mineral" "I know the kings of England and I quote the fights historical" "From Marathon to Waterloo in order categorical." "I am very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical" "I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical" "About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot of news" "With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse""
But you see faith hit the ground in a straight line so she is messing up and putting all the pressure on her spine (could brake it then die) you have to hit it at a angle
Blastm 290 what you said is so wrong on so many levels one they use completely different muscle and 10 rep of push-up isn’t enough to gain muscle endurance and muscle strength to do even single backflip you need to workout way more than that amount of push-up.
If the oxygen content is more pure, Wouldn't that decelerate the exertion of force that's used in exercise? The more pure Oxygen is the less breath we would need to take per minute. If you keep your hart rate low the longer we can run? Assuming You are in peak physical condition.
That does seem intuitive, but studies have shown that this isn't really the case. Normal atmospheric oxygen concentrations (of around 21% of ambient air) are enough to fully saturate our blood with oxygen (or very nearly so). It is extremely hard if not impossible for someone to move air through the lungs fast enough to keep it from loading up "fully" with oxygen. So breathing pure 100% oxygen from a tank or something similar won't do much. Plus, even if it did help with increasing your oxygen content, you'd need to carry around an oxygen tank all the time to maintain the effect (your blood and lung gases would re-equilibrate to normal levels within a few breaths after you took away the oxygen mask). Not to mention breathing pure oxygen or significantly increasing oxygen levels in the body's tissues could actually lead to a number of negative health effects.
Happy to share the little bit I know. I sometimes lose perspective and forget that some things we exercise science nuts take for granted aren't necessarily common knowledge to others. Let me know if you're curious about anything else :)
You didn't account for adrenaline. Surely in those life threatening situations, adrenaline would have a place in Faith's ability to fight her way through.
Matt.- Adrenaline is one of the things that your body will produce in a life threatening situation. That and a lot of people who make extreme sports are kind of adrenaline addicts. what do you think is produced when you jump from a ledge to another, or falling a big distance and rolling, or even running fast to a wall.
good point, but as a professional all-time freerunning smuggler I doubt faith can get such a rush from her palace hopping antics, altough it would certainly help in that last chapter peak that almost broke the teory
@@MatthewTraceur yeah, but traceurs usually are not in danger of being shot. doesn't matter how much of an athlete you are, if someone points a submachinegun at you, intending to kill you, your adrenaline levels climb. the only group of people i wouldn't see this happen would be battlefatigued soldiers.
@ElYeti Adrenaline powers those that lack discipline, a well seasoned traceur like Faith wouldn't be producing intense levels of fight or flight hormones with all the training she has, @TheWolvesCurse, True, can't debate that
faiths wallruns although possible for the first part a real person cant stay on a wall as long as she does also faith rolls forward instead of hitting the roll at an angle to disperse the impact throughout the back and not the spine
There is the real roll animation included in the game if you hit shift+alt (PC I don’t know about consoles) wasn’t probably included as the main roll keeps the camera straight. The game has very little motion happening on screen I think EA wanted the game to maintain ”motion-sickness free” gameplay and that’s why that angle roll isn’t the main one. It’s a shame tbh but hey it’s EA.
The distance of her wall runs (and being able to do 4 steps) is accurate, but the difference is that in real life you wall run in an arc instead of a straight line. But again they probably did that to improve game play.
They aren't really the same thing. This video is answering the question of if it's actually possible to do this stuff at the level that Faith does while the GameLab episode was gamers experiencing some of the parkour moves in real life.
Nate_Dawg Thank you. Whenever someone does a video similar to game theory I always see people shitting on GT in the comments. Can they not understand that there are differences? Or that most choose to watch specific youtubers for the way the present things? Personally I watch multiple game theory esk channels.
MatPat turned into the fucking today show. oh we're gonna do some cool shit look at the exciting life we get to live. meanwhile this 12 inch long penis having greek god does actual math and research making it exciting for the audience. MatPat is shiting on what he once was and his views and fans will reflect this over time.
"Which means that most of you, if you wanted, could spend every day training your body to be just as awesome as hers" Aight. Can you write me up a training schedule then please?
Dear Austin, It's me, Dustin! New-ish viewer here and thought I'd ask something about this one. In any of these events did you ever account for what the body can do whilst under heavy effects of adrenaline? While I know it varies between persons and situations I know it still allows the body do things it otherwise wouldn't be able to do in times of great stress. In a number of scenes she's getting shot at and I, a decently in-shape guy who regretfully sits in an office chair too long each day, would get the fuck out of dodge no matter how tired I was whilst being shot at!
The effects of adrenaline vary from person to person but the end results are the same. The full effect of adrenaline is fairly short lived. Still under the effects of adrenaline, you do not become stronger or faster. Instead you block out that part of your brain that tells you lifting that much will destroy your back. It would give you an edge but only for a short time, after which you would most likely colapse.
As an ex bike courier and seeing the techniques first hand, I can assure you that yes, you could be a roof runner. I would not advise it though. After less then 10 years of riding bike for a living, I cannot do any more hard riding without risk of blowing my kneecaps and even now sometimes need knee braces. (I stopped then because I realized that someday I would like the option of riding to the park sometime in the future). Parcore (I spelled that wrong, I know) is far more demanding with far greater risk of injury. Be careful. That being said, I never regretted the rush I got, and neither should you; just remember that no-one is going to pity you afterwards.
Actually, he's quite right... except that the term "Impact" has no actual scientific meaning and the term "Force" should be used. Impulse is measured as force exerted over time, usually in pound-seconds or Newton-seconds. It's calculated as F*t=m*Δv. "Δv" (pronounced "Delta Vee"), if you haven't played Kerbal Space Program, is the symbol for change in velocity. "F" is of course Force, "m" is mass, and "t" is time. So if you have a certain mass changing a certain velocity, and that equals 1000 pound-seconds, that could be "10lbs*100s", "200lbs*5s", "10000lbs*0.1s", or any other combination that multiplies to 1000. Thus why making the roll take longer creates less force. If it were divided by time, a longer roll would create MORE force.
Haha. Thanks for making this video! I've been running for about four months and got a little discouraged because Faith's levels of fitness seemed impossible. Not giving up though! I will say though sprinting for even a minute straight requires a lot of practice if you exercised previously under 15 minutes a day. (Most people I know don't even do more than some stretching/walking.)
I was a competitive swimmer growing up, and do a lot of strength training now. You can feel when the latic acid starts building up, a practiced athlete can feel when they are getting near their limit. I know when I get to close to the edge, however I've also trained until I couldn't move before. I'm certain that our main girl here, also can feel/knows when she is about to over do it.
I can't ever see a big dumb muscle head running for long periods of time while constantly jumping and climbing and fighting swat at the same time. He'd be outta breath and gasping for air in no time. The only thing that much muscle is good for is lifting heavyweights and winning a fight and even in a fight size doesn't always matter if the smaller fighter had years and years of martial arts training. You would need a balanced body type to pull off what Faith does in the game muscler, explosive, with good stamina but not as big and strong as a powerlifter or a bodybuilder.
Do another one about Kyle Crane from Dying Light, I think he's a bit more realistic (apart from the freaking grappling hook and the max level "infinite stamina" perks which are there only for the players to feel achieved :D) in that he actually needs time to recover every now and then. Though to be honest, he is carrying around weapons and shit. Also doesn't adrenaline ever do anything in this cycle?
Sorry for the really late reply, BUT adrenaline is not a "Secret energy source" but it's basically an increase in heart rate and a rase in pain tolerance. Obviously it's more complicated than this,but I'm not an expert on this lol
@@jimmymfs4314 Adrenaline does help you in running situation (like being chased by muggers) although it SLIGHTLY helps you. So it doesn't really help you that much but a few minutes more are very important in situations like the one I mentioned.
@@moeyy2925I didnt say adrenaline doesnt help you,i just said it's not an energy source. But yeah.you are right as by rising pain tolerance you can definitely run for slightly longer.

Lauren lifted the car, then performed CPR on her father and saved his life.[13] In 2012, in Michigan, Austin Smith (age 15) lifted a car to save his grandfather pinned underneath [14][15] In 2013, in Oregon, teenage sisters Hannah (age 16) and Haylee (age 14) lifted a tractor to save their father pinned underneath.[16] In 2013, in Salvage, Newfoundland and Labrador, Cecil Stuckless, a 72 year old man lifted a Jeep to save his son-in-law pinned underneath [17][18] In 2015, in St. John's, Newfoundland, Nick Williams lifted a four-wheel-drive vehicle to save a young boy pinned beneath its tire.[19] In 2017, in Temple Terrace, Florida, Kenny Franklin, lifted an SUV from a state trooper after an accident [20][21] In 2019, in Ohio, Zac Clark a 16 year old football player, lifted a 3,000 lb car when he heard his neighbor call for help.[22][23] Research Edit Early experiments showed that adrenaline increases twitch, but not tetanic force and rate of force development in muscles.[24] It is questionable, however, as to whether adrenaline, released from the adrenal medulla into the venous circulation, can reach the muscle quickly enough in order to be able to cause such an effect in the midst of a crisis. It may be that noradrenaline released from sympathetic nerve terminals directly innervating skeletal muscle[25] has more of an effect over the timescale of seconds. Amphetamine and other stimulants are used by some athletes for their psychological and performance-enhancing effects.[26][27] In competitive sports, this form of use is prohibited by anti-doping regulations.[26] In healthy people at oral therapeutic doses, amphetamine has been shown to increase physical strength,[26][28] acceleration,[26][28] stamina,[26][29] and endurance,[26][29] while reducing reaction time.[26] Amphetamine exerts its effects in humans primarily as a releasing agent of dopamine and norepinephrine in the central nervous system, and secondarily via inhibition of reuptake of noradrenaline and dopamine, similar to methylphenidate and bupropion.[28][29].
No oxygen is not required in glycolysis if I remember correctly, it is used in the electron transport chain and Kreb though, especially with oxidative phosphorylation which is the stage of cellular respiration in which a major amount of atp is produced.
You missed something: sure the landing roll reduces impact, but that’s not all. It reduces pressure as well. If you land on your feet, the ground is applying a reaction force to your feet. If you roll, that same amount of force is being absorbed by your feet, waist and back. This increases the area where the force is applied upon, reducing the pressure felt on the body. Pressure = Force/Area
Nice vid. But no mention of the ridiculous 20 by 20 feet of airtime that Faith gets from a "springboard" off a glass railing? The first Mirror's Edge felt like a much more believable game with ultra high bullet damage, more realistic springboards, more realistic momentum, and plenty more.
Natsu Yes that's what I was curious about too. How do springboards work anyway it seems to me you wouldn't get any extra height other than your normal jump height and however high the object is you jump off of.
i have taught many people all shapes and sizes i have seen even a 400 pound man doing it start out slow don't go crazy and find people to train with and learn in the safely of a gym. start with basics like vaults and rolls. oh and if you are worried about your hight don't worry i have a friend who is a beast and he is 6'10 and he has a lot of advantages then someone like me who is 5'6. if you have any questions i will gladly point you in the right direction. i have many ties in the parkour community I'm sure i can find you someone in your area that is if you live in the states or the UK
How can you suppress adrenaline? is like someone trying to not produce gastric juices, is not really something that you can control, if you get scared or even exited you produce adrenaline. Do not confuse adrenaline with anxiety. Traceurs control anxiety not the adrenaline rush.
@El Yeti MX You can train the mental inputs that control the adrenalin output. Imagine someone who is afraid of spiders. Every time he sees a spider he will get an adrenaline spike. He can´t control that. However he CAN, over time, learn not to be afraid of spiders, so his adrenaline wouldn´t spike anymore (except if the fear is already ingrained deep enough that it´s an involuntary reflex of course). So yes, training does help regulate adrenaline to some degree because it makes you used to a situation. A riot police officer for example would have a lot less adrenaline when standing in front of a violent mass if he experienced it often enough without getting injured, while someone who never experienced it or had a traumitcal experience with it would have adrenaline spikes all over the place. So I am assuming Traceurs can control their adrenaline by controlling their state of mind during the practices.
Also just wanna add that anaerobic respiration has other benefits. Because your body is literally suffocating while it's happening, it forces new blood veins and capillaries to start growing so that oxygen can be distributed more efficiently. So the more you run, the less tired you get by running a lot. Not just because your heart can pump more blood faster, but because the process of transferring oxygen from your blood to your muscles gets more and more efficient! And that's about the only thing I learned in Track.

There is a case of a person who does not produce lactic acid, this leads to no muscle fatigue, this man can literally run forever and it is been tested, he ran for 10 hours straight and was not tired in the end. Faith could be another case of this.
_I see you too have watched Stan Lee's Superhumans._
This person needs to have children
Super powers always have their downsides
Well, he definitely needs muscle fatigue to survive. There is also a girl named Olivia Farnsworth who doesn't feel pain, hunger and fatigue due to genetic disorder. Idiots think she is a living bionic girl but in reality, she is one of the worst disabled human ever.
If that true... She have to be trained by scientists. Bcuz if she can t feel being tired she probly die in her first exercise. She could hurt herself and not being aware of it. We feel muscle fatigue for we hit nearly our muscles limit... So she trained by elite scientists to ultimate gain muscle powa...

@@apotheosis140 you really gonna just say this and leave??? tell us more!
you also forget that faith is not an atlethe in a fair regulated competition, but an outlaw triyng to survive. avoiding doping would be nonsensical in her situation, especially considering that the story takes place in the future where medicine is likely to be more efficient at minimalizing the side effects from continued use.
not saiyng doping is good but in a lifestile that is a perpetual life or death situation is quite an asset to consider.
dont use doping if you think it will hurt you and never ever to cheat a competition.
alson dont drink and dope.
saverio sassetti i agree. But I degress. I was a degressing champion, you know.
you should have seen the redacted version of the cooment then. something along the lines of NO I DONT DO DOPING doping bad fair sport good I would never EVER in my life do doping. bad bad very bad. bad doping. bad.
I now, writing this for the second time realize once again why this should stay redacted, but I tiped it so screw that
Mmh that is something i never considered,if i want to be more atletic but i don t want to to compete ,only for myself, i shouldn t have any problem about using doping substances
@@junichiroyamashita While in theory true, it won't really work that way unfortunately. Most substances used for doping only "make sense" if someone is already close to peak performance and wants to either progress beyond what is naturally possible or speed up reaching the last 5 percent. Additionally it doesn't really reduce the amount of exercise necessary to reach the goal of being or at least appearing more athletic. Steroids for example lead to bulking up more quickly, but a lot of people just end up looking overweight because they neglect fat burning exercises. Other stuff like Erythropoietin (EPO) is only useful in the aforementioned case that someone is already at very high levels of endurance and the ability of the blood to transport oxygen is the limiting factor.
A large part of what is on the list is also only useful for a short amount of time like stimulants and narcotics (even caffeine was there until 2005). Those don't really make any sense for casual use (unless you want to get high), because of the inevitable crash afterwards.
And then there's the fact that most of those substances are quite dangerous or at least detrimental to the health in the long run.
But as saverio sassetti said, in Faith's case all that doesn't matter even ignoring the fact that the story takes place in the future. She would abuse stimulants and pain suppressors all the time, because only survival in the short term matters - who cares about dying ten or twenty years early or crashing hard once she's in a safe place.
For normal use (i.e. no life or death situation) I'd stick to the legal supplements (proteine, BCAA, creatine, etc. - depending on the type of exercise/sport), but even those only make sense with huge amounts of exercise like more than two hours every day - otherwise nothing is needed at all aside from a balanced diet.
@Sverenja
Oh, doping is very much possible in lower regions as well. For example one of the favorite "dopings" in amateur soccer is taking an Aspirin before the game. It lowers the pain and sense of fatigue, and since aspirin thins your blood it actually makes it flow faster, meaning more oxygen for your muscles. Of course this increases the risk of bleeding and means any bruises you get will eb that much worse, so I don´t recommend it at all. But it is definately possible and I guess there are other methods as well.

If I gathered anything of Austin's videos.. It's that he has made these into a science itself.
Hes the lost brother of eminem :P
Fun fact, humans are the best runners in the world for many reasons, one of which being the ability to comfortably breathe while running like described in this video. We run, we breathe more, sounds obvious however then we have to consider that that simple biological mechanism is unique to us only.
Every other animal actually has a system which requires their lungs use less power to boost power in other areas of the body, this allows animals like dogs, horses and cheetahs the ability to run very fast for short times. This is why animals when they stop exercising such as your dog after a long walk will start to pant and stop. Even on a hot day, the animal will stop in the hot sun just to breathe but unless you are really unfit, simply walking for 3 hours should be no problem for you but you will need to take a break, not for you but for your dog.
Humans don't pant which is one of the reasons why we are the best runners on the planet.
Not to mention our bipedal stance allowing us the ability to see over tall grass for predator and prey, for the purposes of running, prey is more important here (you may be able to run further than a lion, but that doesn't mean the lion won't catch you in a few seconds as it is temporarily faster) after prey spots you it keeps running until it stops to pant, as we are bipedal we can briskly walk towards the prey as we can see it and interrupt its panting, it runs until it has to pant again. This keeps repeating until the prey is so exhausted you as a human can approach it and killing it is now no problem. Hell if you're lucky, the creature starts hyperventilating and suffocates right in front of you, giving you a meal that the only work you had to do was keep your eyes on it and walk.
The way our feet are shaped and ankles designed allow us to traverse many different types of terrain better than any other animal, being able to cross snow, sand, marshland, dirt, ice, and even vertical rocks.
Our fat is in convenient places, most other animals have their only fat storing place as between their legs which they will kick and run into with their back legs causing problems. Humans can store fat above their legs and on the back (their butt) allowing for out of the way storage. Not to mention the butt is like a counter-weight to hold us up, similar to a tail. The breast are also fat storage areas for women and are also conveniently located as they are still out of the way, but also extend the distance a child can be from the body allowing the mother to be able to see both the child and the surroundings without 100% looking down.
There are still more reasons why humans are better runners than the rest of the planet, but those are the main ones.

TheWindigomonster have you have of Hysterical strength is a display of extreme strength by humans, beyond what is believed to be normal, usually occurring when people are in life-and-death situations. Common anecdotal examples include parents lifting vehicles to rescue their children. The extra strength is commonly attributed to increased adrenaline production, though supporting evidence is scarce, and inconclusive when available; research into the phenomenon is difficult, though it is thought that it is theoretically possible.[1]
Extreme strength may occur during excited delirium.[2][3]
Examples Edit
The most common anecdotal examples are of parents lifting vehicles to rescue their children, and when people are in life-and-death situations. Hysterical strength can result in torn muscles due to higher mechanical stress.
before May 1962, Jack Kirby claims he saw a woman lift a car off her baby, which inspired him to create the Hulk.[4][5][6]
In 1982, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, Tony Cavallo was repairing a 1964 Chevrolet Impala automobile from underneath. The vehicle was propped up with jacks, but it fell. Cavallo's mother, Mrs. Angela Cavallo, lifted the car high enough and long enough for two neighbours to replace the jacks and pull Tony from beneath the car.[7]
In 2006, Ivujivik, Quebec, resident Lydia Angiyou saved several children by fighting a polar bear until a local hunter shot it.[8]
In 2006, in Tucson, Arizona, Tom Boyle watched as a Chevrolet Camaro hit 18-year-old Kyle Holtrust. The car pinned Holtrust, still alive, underneath. Boyle lifted the Camaro off the teenager, while the driver of the car pulled the teen to safety.[7][9]
In 2009, in Ottawa, Kansas, 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in), 84 kg (185 lb) Nick Harris lifted a Mercury sedan to help a 6-year-old girl pinned beneath.[10]
In 2009, in Newport, Wales, Donna McNamee, Abigail Sicolo, and Anthony McNamee lifted a 1.1 ton Renault Clio off of an 8-year-old boy.[11]
In 2011, in Tampa, Florida, 1.91 m (6 ft 3 in), 134 kg (295 lb) University of South Florida college football player Danous Estenor lifted a 1,600 kg (3,500 lb) car off of a man who had been caught underneath. The man was a tow truck driver who had been pinned under the rear tire of a 1990 Cadillac Seville, which had lurched forward as he worked underneath it. The man suffered only minor injuries.[12]
In 2012, in Glen Allen, Virginia, 22-year-old Lauren Kornacki rescued her father, Alec Kornacki, after the jack used to prop up his BMW slipped, pinning him under it. Lauren lifted the car, then performed CPR on her father and saved his life.[13]
In 2012, in Michigan, Austin Smith (age 15) lifted a car to save his grandfather pinned underneath [14][15]
In 2013, in Oregon, teenage sisters Hannah (age 16) and Haylee (age 14) lifted a tractor to save their father pinned underneath.[16]
In 2013, in Salvage, Newfoundland and Labrador, Cecil Stuckless, a 72 year old man lifted a Jeep to save his son-in-law pinned underneath [17][18]
In 2015, in St. John's, Newfoundland, Nick Williams lifted a four-wheel-drive vehicle to save a young boy pinned beneath its tire.[19]
In 2017, in Temple Terrace, Florida, Kenny Franklin, lifted an SUV from a state trooper after an accident [20][21]
In 2019, in Ohio, Zac Clark a 16 year old football player, lifted a 3,000 lb car when he heard his neighbor call for help.[22][23]
Research Edit
Early experiments showed that adrenaline increases twitch, but not tetanic force and rate of force development in muscles.[24] It is questionable, however, as to whether adrenaline, released from the adrenal medulla into the venous circulation, can reach the muscle quickly enough in order to be able to cause such an effect in the midst of a crisis.

With adrenaline people have been reported to do crazy things, apparently parents have been known to lift cars to save their kids powered by the adrenaline of the circumstance

no, his math is mostly fine but nearly every term he uses is wrong or used wrong.
Does no one notices that he didn't point out how long Faith has been doing this? YEARS. Faith ran away from home at 16 years, and became a runner at... well shit. I can't find anything on this, so let's assume that she eighteen when she starts.This game takes place when she is 22. And her age in the original at 24. I mean, four years of practice and experience has to do something right? Even further in the original was 6 years of experience and training. Just something to consider I guess.
Oh yeah. Adrenaline. A separate energy for extreme emergencies.
Adrenaline won't provide you with extra energy. It raises your heart's beating rate and rises your pain treshold mostly
Why does people think that adrenaline does that?
@@Ninacska93 But technically speaking, if your pain treshold is higher, shouldn't you be able to go beyond your limits while running? Assuming your adrenaline kicks in while reaching your limit.
i wouldnt call it raising the threshold for pain. It's more like it delays the brain's acknowledgement of pain. you can get injured during exertion but you won't really feel the pain if say your life is at risk until after your body has deemed itself safe and resumes normal operations letting the adrenaline levels subside. pain would hamper performance in times of stress so your body will ignore it at the cost of more pain later on in exchange for possible survival or safety.
The most unrealistic part of that game is how Faith is in prison for 2 years but is able to parkour at peak skill level only minutes after getting out
That’s what I was thinking(2023)
Tbf its not like there's much to do in jail for entertainment or to kill time except work out, but yeah she should still be a bit rusty and have to reacclimate herself rather than simply get to it without delay.
Why? It's not like she was left to atrophe, right? She coulda been day in, day out doing burpees in there for all we know. Parkour is an entirely different skillset, but at least the muscles and flexibility it uses can be trained.

doing parkour without caring about your knees is pure danger, you'll kill your knees in the long run!! ( it's going to feel like this, you're doing pk without a warmup and just jumping from high spots, it wont feel bad at first in your knees, but if you're doing it everytime when you are not strong enough physically your knees will probably be in bad condition.) Soooo have good technique, be strong, be aware of your surroundings, if possible check the obstacles you will use while freerunning to make sure they don't break
😀😀😀😀😀 make sure you do research more I might not have mentioned everything
Sometimes i dont spend enough time warming up, but i also dont take lots of impacts just small stuff or some light technique when i do. I picked up a warm up from the tapp brothers that works pretty well i use it for all my training.

I really love the parts when you can drop from something into a downward slide as well, possibly absorbing an even greater fall this way, especially if you where to roll afterwards as well
Ok, ik i'm kinda late for this but i do parkour and here are my points:
-Mirror's edge has the most realistic parkour mechanics of any game, but the flow is kinda weird if you compare it to irl parkour because the player's POV kinda goes up and down too much when you jump.
-It is totally possible to run all that time (let's say 10-15 mins per level) because parkour is surprisingly energy efficient when you flow correctly, and lactic acid dows not build up too much if you're using all of your body and keeping a medium pace. To achieve that endurance you need good cardio though.
-The stuff that would be a problem if you were doing this irl are: 1) big heights, which could be rolled off easily when you have more horizontal than vertical speed 2) grip: assuming you don't know the grip of your shoe and or hand in every surface of every level in the game, there's a big chance you might slip somewhere 3) ankle thing: this rare phenomenon happens usually when you do a jump slightly bigger than your personal best. I's really painful and might stop you from walking for 1-2 minutes, def the worst situation in a police chase.
When you started talking about your research, i got the stupidest look on my face and my eyes slowly started to go in two diffrent directions
LMAO 😂
@@MonsterPumpkin < _ >
As someone who's been practicing parkour for 8 years, and have dedicated my life to mastering as much as I can, I am very impressed with your accuracy and portrial of how the sport works. Also bonus points for pointing out the difference between freerunning, and parkour. All the Assassin's Creed games say "Hold R2 to freerun," and it pisses me off.

That's probably why I don't have any friends.
Tom Walsh can't really blame people cause it's something that you either learn by specifically looking it up or by the use of it yourself
lol, everybody that can move should be able to understand simple stuff like... falling is bad... quick stops are harder than slow stops or no stops at all... oh yeah... we are talking about humans in 2017, missed that, sry
We all jumped of roofs as kids, If you ain't figured out its alot less painful if you roll out of it there's something wrong with you..
Agreed.
My dad was a Ranger in the army (aka those crazy fuckers who jump out of helicopters) and he taught me that when I was about 8.
Why is the roll in Mirrors Edge like straight it should be sideways
To avoid confusing the gamer by having an off-center perspective. The game gives me enough motion sickness as it is, *without* doing shoulder-to-hip rolls (like she should do).
To make it playable. If she rolled to the side, it would be hard to tell where you are going, cause unlike in real life, you can't physically feel the enviroment in mirrors edge cause it's a game. It does fuck up some people who think you are supossed to roll like that, but for speedrunners, it saves them, cause if she rolled like in a functional breakfall from shoulder to hip, you would lose sense of direction.

Yummy spine injuries mmmmm
I remember, half my life ago when I was a jacked up beast on the farm during hay season. The hay loft elevator (more like a conveyor belt that goes up to the top of the barn) broke down and I spent 7 hours throwing 50-75 pound bales of hay up into the loft by hand.
At the end of the day, my arms and legs were burning like hell fire and I was pissing what looked like black coffee. I could just barely move at all and felt like smashed ass.
I can't remember what it was called but apparently the lactic acid and I think proteins maybe? Were going straight into my kidneys and wrecking the shit out of them.
Apparently it can cause outright kidney failure...
But I was going non stop for 7 hours so... yeah... you literally can work yourself to death apparently.
Can someone tell me what the hell that condition is called?
Extreme dehydration.
Likely rhabdomyolysis.
@@arzosahsothy That's the one. Thanks.
Damn that sucks but it's kinda badass
It kinda sounds like rhabdomyalysis
the thing I really like most about the falls in mirror's edge (I practiced at a parkour gym on occasion - I was terrible) is that they follow the absolute core tenet of NEVER crossing the line of your spinal column. Faith is always canted off to one side, ever so slightly, when she rolls. That keeps all of the force distributed on one lateral side of her body and imparts none of it into the spinal column. Ribs are flexible and can eat a ton of impact force that vertebrae cannot which is textbook perfect.
So a forward roll like faith pulls off when she lands instead of a crossbody roll is very well researched.
Sorry bro but that’s incorrect. She rolls directly straight from head to tailbone. That’s going right over the spine. As opposed to left shoulder to the right Iliac crest which puts most of the force to the shoulder then spreads it along the whole back and ends right before you hit you bony hip.

So many years ago, and I'm still looking for that video about the windmill.
Just train for minutes a day. I’m fairly athletic now and I started with just doing ten pushups everyday
Now I can do backflips
@@cyancoyote7366 No
Pushups and backflips are completely different muscles
Blastm 290 what you said is so wrong on so many levels one they use completely different muscle and 10 rep of push-up isn’t enough to gain muscle endurance and muscle strength to do even single backflip you need to workout way more than that amount of push-up.
Sit ups would be the better exercise for training for backflips

I applaud your knowledge and science sir. Bravo, you are the future.
If the oxygen content is more pure, Wouldn't that decelerate the exertion of force that's used in exercise? The more pure Oxygen is the less breath we would need to take per minute. If you keep your hart rate low the longer we can run? Assuming You are in peak physical condition.
That does seem intuitive, but studies have shown that this isn't really the case. Normal atmospheric oxygen concentrations (of around 21% of ambient air) are enough to fully saturate our blood with oxygen (or very nearly so). It is extremely hard if not impossible for someone to move air through the lungs fast enough to keep it from loading up "fully" with oxygen.
So breathing pure 100% oxygen from a tank or something similar won't do much. Plus, even if it did help with increasing your oxygen content, you'd need to carry around an oxygen tank all the time to maintain the effect (your blood and lung gases would re-equilibrate to normal levels within a few breaths after you took away the oxygen mask).
Not to mention breathing pure oxygen or significantly increasing oxygen levels in the body's tissues could actually lead to a number of negative health effects.
Thank you for the info. I love hearing actual facts instead of reading some comments and feeling more like an idiot. "Thumbs Up" .

You didn't account for adrenaline. Surely in those life threatening situations, adrenaline would have a place in Faith's ability to fight her way through.
No, fuck adrenaline, traceurs don't rely on adrenaline to run, everything is muscle memory, instinctual and genuine
Matt.- Adrenaline is one of the things that your body will produce in a life threatening situation. That and a lot of people who make extreme sports are kind of adrenaline addicts. what do you think is produced when you jump from a ledge to another, or falling a big distance and rolling, or even running fast to a wall.
good point, but as a professional all-time freerunning smuggler I doubt faith can get such a rush from her palace hopping antics, altough it would certainly help in that last chapter peak that almost broke the teory
@@MatthewTraceur yeah, but traceurs usually are not in danger of being shot. doesn't matter how much of an athlete you are, if someone points a submachinegun at you, intending to kill you, your adrenaline levels climb. the only group of people i wouldn't see this happen would be battlefatigued soldiers.
@ElYeti Adrenaline powers those that lack discipline, a well seasoned traceur like Faith wouldn't be producing intense levels of fight or flight hormones with all the training she has, @TheWolvesCurse, True, can't debate that
Props for the saying the differences between parkour and freerunning
this video vs a 50 year old ex army P.E teacher and his logic
faiths wallruns although possible for the first part a real person cant stay on a wall as long as she does also faith rolls forward instead of hitting the roll at an angle to disperse the impact throughout the back and not the spine
Completely true my dude
There is the real roll animation included in the game if you hit shift+alt (PC I don’t know about consoles) wasn’t probably included as the main roll keeps the camera straight. The game has very little motion happening on screen I think EA wanted the game to maintain ”motion-sickness free” gameplay and that’s why that angle roll isn’t the main one. It’s a shame tbh but hey it’s EA.
Yeah I know about that the move on Xbox is LT+LB
The reason for this is because it's incredibly disorienting for the player if she actually did roll over her back.
The distance of her wall runs (and being able to do 4 steps) is accurate, but the difference is that in real life you wall run in an arc instead of a straight line. But again they probably did that to improve game play.

atta boy putting MatPat to shame.
Eh not really
They aren't really the same thing. This video is answering the question of if it's actually possible to do this stuff at the level that Faith does while the GameLab episode was gamers experiencing some of the parkour moves in real life.
Nate_Dawg Thank you. Whenever someone does a video similar to game theory I always see people shitting on GT in the comments. Can they not understand that there are differences? Or that most choose to watch specific youtubers for the way the present things? Personally I watch multiple game theory esk channels.

As a long time Parkour practicioner, avid gamer and physiotherapist in training, THIS is why I love RUclips. Thank you, that was awesome.
Dear Austin, It's me, Dustin! New-ish viewer here and thought I'd ask something about this one. In any of these events did you ever account for what the body can do whilst under heavy effects of adrenaline? While I know it varies between persons and situations I know it still allows the body do things it otherwise wouldn't be able to do in times of great stress. In a number of scenes she's getting shot at and I, a decently in-shape guy who regretfully sits in an office chair too long each day, would get the fuck out of dodge no matter how tired I was whilst being shot at!
The effects of adrenaline vary from person to person but the end results are the same. The full effect of adrenaline is fairly short lived. Still under the effects of adrenaline, you do not become stronger or faster. Instead you block out that part of your brain that tells you lifting that much will destroy your back. It would give you an edge but only for a short time, after which you would most likely colapse.
Yeah it just makes you less receptive to pain for maybe 10 secs.
As an ex bike courier and seeing the techniques first hand, I can assure you that yes, you could be a roof runner. I would not advise it though. After less then 10 years of riding bike for a living, I cannot do any more hard riding without risk of blowing my kneecaps and even now sometimes need knee braces. (I stopped then because I realized that someday I would like the option of riding to the park sometime in the future). Parcore (I spelled that wrong, I know) is far more demanding with far greater risk of injury. Be careful. That being said, I never regretted the rush I got, and neither should you; just remember that no-one is going to pity you afterwards.
Small correction BTW: Impulse = Impact divided by Time, not multiplied.
Actually, he's quite right... except that the term "Impact" has no actual scientific meaning and the term "Force" should be used.
Impulse is measured as force exerted over time, usually in pound-seconds or Newton-seconds. It's calculated as F*t=m*Δv.
"Δv" (pronounced "Delta Vee"), if you haven't played Kerbal Space Program, is the symbol for change in velocity. "F" is of course Force, "m" is mass, and "t" is time.
So if you have a certain mass changing a certain velocity, and that equals 1000 pound-seconds, that could be "10lbs*100s", "200lbs*5s", "10000lbs*0.1s", or any other combination that multiplies to 1000.
Thus why making the roll take longer creates less force. If it were divided by time, a longer roll would create MORE force.
Well, the brain damaged high school dropout (me) stands corrected. I was just following the logic of his language.
Bruce Aitken No worries, man. And I learned more physics from Kerbal Space Program and Mythbusters than I ever learned in school.
Knee damage? Were you mostly riding fixie?
Haha. Thanks for making this video! I've been running for about four months and got a little discouraged because Faith's levels of fitness seemed impossible. Not giving up though!
I will say though sprinting for even a minute straight requires a lot of practice if you exercised previously under 15 minutes a day. (Most people I know don't even do more than some stretching/walking.)
If you add that it's in the future...and maybe people in that future are more fit maybe it could work.
You know shits about to get real when that music speeds up!
One of Austin's best videos. Great pacing, easy to understand.
One more thing to note about Faith is she's "superhuman" so maybe she has a improved ability to dispose lactate acid.
Omg 0.0 no wonder it took you a week to make this video
Well masterbation doesn't do itself now does it? XD
+MultiGG2 lmao
I get exhausted enough just by jumping to conclusions.
Sick flow, man.
Still better than Matpat's Game Lab.
Why are people so mad about that he still does reg game theory right?
he forgot adrenaline
bruh, everything that isn't youtube red is better than yt red
I was a competitive swimmer growing up, and do a lot of strength training now. You can feel when the latic acid starts building up, a practiced athlete can feel when they are getting near their limit. I know when I get to close to the edge, however I've also trained until I couldn't move before. I'm certain that our main girl here, also can feel/knows when she is about to over do it.
now for the real question: can your WoW muscle monster run indefinitely realistically?
I can't ever see a big dumb muscle head running for long periods of time while constantly jumping and climbing and fighting swat at the same time. He'd be outta breath and gasping for air in no time. The only thing that much muscle is good for is lifting heavyweights and winning a fight and even in a fight size doesn't always matter if the smaller fighter had years and years of martial arts training. You would need a balanced body type to pull off what Faith does in the game muscler, explosive, with good stamina but not as big and strong as a powerlifter or a bodybuilder.
Do another one about Kyle Crane from Dying Light, I think he's a bit more realistic (apart from the freaking grappling hook and the max level "infinite stamina" perks which are there only for the players to feel achieved :D) in that he actually needs time to recover every now and then. Though to be honest, he is carrying around weapons and shit.
Also doesn't adrenaline ever do anything in this cycle?
Sorry for the really late reply, BUT adrenaline is not a "Secret energy source" but it's basically an increase in heart rate and a rase in pain tolerance. Obviously it's more complicated than this,but I'm not an expert on this lol
@@jimmymfs4314 Adrenaline does help you in running situation (like being chased by muggers) although it SLIGHTLY helps you. So it doesn't really help you that much but a few minutes more are very important in situations like the one I mentioned.
@@moeyy2925I didnt say adrenaline doesnt help you,i just said it's not an energy source. But yeah.you are right as by rising pain tolerance you can definitely run for slightly longer.
JimmyMFS have you heard of Hysterical strength is a display of extreme strength by humans, beyond what is believed to be normal, usually occurring when people are in life-and-death situations. Common anecdotal examples include parents lifting vehicles to rescue their children. The extra strength is commonly attributed to increased adrenaline production, though supporting evidence is scarce, and inconclusive when available; research into the phenomenon is difficult, though it is thought that it is theoretically possible.[1]
Extreme strength may occur during excited delirium.[2][3]
Examples Edit
The most common anecdotal examples are of parents lifting vehicles to rescue their children, and when people are in life-and-death situations. Hysterical strength can result in torn muscles due to higher mechanical stress.
before May 1962, Jack Kirby claims he saw a woman lift a car off her baby, which inspired him to create the Hulk.[4][5][6]
In 1982, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, Tony Cavallo was repairing a 1964 Chevrolet Impala automobile from underneath. The vehicle was propped up with jacks, but it fell. Cavallo's mother, Mrs. Angela Cavallo, lifted the car high enough and long enough for two neighbours to replace the jacks and pull Tony from beneath the car.[7]
In 2006, Ivujivik, Quebec, resident Lydia Angiyou saved several children by fighting a polar bear until a local hunter shot it.[8]
In 2006, in Tucson, Arizona, Tom Boyle watched as a Chevrolet Camaro hit 18-year-old Kyle Holtrust. The car pinned Holtrust, still alive, underneath. Boyle lifted the Camaro off the teenager, while the driver of the car pulled the teen to safety.[7][9]
In 2009, in Ottawa, Kansas, 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in), 84 kg (185 lb) Nick Harris lifted a Mercury sedan to help a 6-year-old girl pinned beneath.[10]
In 2009, in Newport, Wales, Donna McNamee, Abigail Sicolo, and Anthony McNamee lifted a 1.1 ton Renault Clio off of an 8-year-old boy.[11]
In 2011, in Tampa, Florida, 1.91 m (6 ft 3 in), 134 kg (295 lb) University of South Florida college football player Danous Estenor lifted a 1,600 kg (3,500 lb) car off of a man who had been caught underneath. The man was a tow truck driver who had been pinned under the rear tire of a 1990 Cadillac Seville, which had lurched forward as he worked underneath it. The man suffered only minor injuries.[12]
In 2012, in Glen Allen, Virginia, 22-year-old Lauren Kornacki rescued her father, Alec Kornacki, after the jack used to prop up his BMW slipped, pinning him under it. Lauren lifted the car, then performed CPR on her father and saved his life.[13]
In 2012, in Michigan, Austin Smith (age 15) lifted a car to save his grandfather pinned underneath [14][15]
In 2013, in Oregon, teenage sisters Hannah (age 16) and Haylee (age 14) lifted a tractor to save their father pinned underneath.[16]
In 2013, in Salvage, Newfoundland and Labrador, Cecil Stuckless, a 72 year old man lifted a Jeep to save his son-in-law pinned underneath [17][18]
In 2015, in St. John's, Newfoundland, Nick Williams lifted a four-wheel-drive vehicle to save a young boy pinned beneath its tire.[19]
In 2017, in Temple Terrace, Florida, Kenny Franklin, lifted an SUV from a state trooper after an accident [20][21]
In 2019, in Ohio, Zac Clark a 16 year old football player, lifted a 3,000 lb car when he heard his neighbor call for help.[22][23]
Research Edit
Early experiments showed that adrenaline increases twitch, but not tetanic force and rate of force development in muscles.[24] It is questionable, however, as to whether adrenaline, released from the adrenal medulla into the venous circulation, can reach the muscle quickly enough in order to be able to cause such an effect in the midst of a crisis. It may be that noradrenaline released from sympathetic nerve terminals directly innervating skeletal muscle[25] has more of an effect over the timescale of seconds.
Amphetamine and other stimulants are used by some athletes for their psychological and performance-enhancing effects.[26][27] In competitive sports, this form of use is prohibited by anti-doping regulations.[26] In healthy people at oral therapeutic doses, amphetamine has been shown to increase physical strength,[26][28] acceleration,[26][28] stamina,[26][29] and endurance,[26][29] while reducing reaction time.[26] Amphetamine exerts its effects in humans primarily as a releasing agent of dopamine and norepinephrine in the central nervous system, and secondarily via inhibition of reuptake of noradrenaline and dopamine, similar to methylphenidate and bupropion.[28][29].
No oxygen is not required in glycolysis if I remember correctly, it is used in the electron transport chain and Kreb though, especially with oxidative phosphorylation which is the stage of cellular respiration in which a major amount of atp is produced.

At the end of you math hyperspeed speech my brain fell into COMA....
You missed something: sure the landing roll reduces impact, but that’s not all. It reduces pressure as well. If you land on your feet, the ground is applying a reaction force to your feet. If you roll, that same amount of force is being absorbed by your feet, waist and back. This increases the area where the force is applied upon, reducing the pressure felt on the body. Pressure = Force/Area

couldn't adrenaline be a factor in this or would there be no reason for a spike of adrenaline
I'm pretty sure that andrenaline would be a very important factor, especially during "fight for your life" he mentioned.
not really, only when being chased or chasing, traceurs (the philosophically adamant ones at least) try to suppress adrenaline and ego when training
How can you suppress adrenaline? is like someone trying to not produce gastric juices, is not really something that you can control, if you get scared or even exited you produce adrenaline. Do not confuse adrenaline with anxiety. Traceurs control anxiety not the adrenaline rush.
Sure, but do you not think that in doing so they are in fact suppressing an adrenaline rush...
@El Yeti MX
You can train the mental inputs that control the adrenalin output. Imagine someone who is afraid of spiders. Every time he sees a spider he will get an adrenaline spike. He can´t control that. However he CAN, over time, learn not to be afraid of spiders, so his adrenaline wouldn´t spike anymore (except if the fear is already ingrained deep enough that it´s an involuntary reflex of course). So yes, training does help regulate adrenaline to some degree because it makes you used to a situation. A riot police officer for example would have a lot less adrenaline when standing in front of a violent mass if he experienced it often enough without getting injured, while someone who never experienced it or had a traumitcal experience with it would have adrenaline spikes all over the place.
So I am assuming Traceurs can control their adrenaline by controlling their state of mind during the practices.
Also just wanna add that anaerobic respiration has other benefits. Because your body is literally suffocating while it's happening, it forces new blood veins and capillaries to start growing so that oxygen can be distributed more efficiently. So the more you run, the less tired you get by running a lot. Not just because your heart can pump more blood faster, but because the process of transferring oxygen from your blood to your muscles gets more and more efficient! And that's about the only thing I learned in Track.
sorry austin, glycolysis never uses oxygen, it's the electron transport chain that do.
