The Secrets of Victory

Ulisse - The Pleasure of Discovery Season 12 Episode 16

Overview:
In this episode, Ulysses discusses the extraordinary machine that is the human body, seen from a very particular perspective: that of those who push their bodies to the limits, and often beyond: athletes, men and women who represent, physically speaking, the pinnacle of our species. We delve behind the scenes of sport to learn its secrets firsthand. Why does one athlete run faster than another? What's the maximum height we can ever reach in a jump? What happens in our brains when we hit a ball? We try to answer these and many other questions during this episode, thanks to scientists, athletes, and special guests. And together with champions like Michael Phelps, Asafa Powell, Valentina Vezzali, Deborah Compagnoni, and many others, we tell many stories and reveal many interesting facts.
