Sinopsis

"Extreme Endurance" explores the science behind human limits, contrasting real-world athletic feats with the often-exaggerated portrayals of survival in manga. The book delves into the physiological adaptations enabling extreme endurance and the psychological factors driving individuals beyond perceived limitations. Intriguingly, the cardiovascular system's role in oxygen delivery is vital, alongside metabolic processes and thermoregulation in maintaining body temperature under stress. By critically comparing manga depictions with scientific findings, the book aims to demystify endurance. The book presents information accessibly, building from fundamental principles and examining scenarios from ultra-marathon runners and free divers to survival in harsh environments. It analyzes the science involved, drawing from peer-reviewed articles and expert interviews, while also acknowledging manga's cultural impact. "Extreme Endurance" is structured in three parts: introducing key physiological concepts, examining specific examples, and synthesizing findings to discuss future research and ethical considerations. This unique approach provides a deeper appreciation for the body’s inherent capabilities and the representation of human potential in popular media. Readers gain insights into sports medicine, psychology, and cultural studies, enhancing a holistic understanding of endurance. It connects to sports medicine by examining injury prevention and psychology by exploring mental strategies used by athletes.

Unnatural Ability - The History...

Milton C. Toby

In a mere twelve months, between May 2020 and May 2021, horse racing's most recognizable face—Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert—had five horses that failed postrace drug tests. Among those was the 2021 Kentucky Derby winner, Medina Spirit. While the incident was a major scandal in the Thoroughbred racing world, it was only the latest in a series of drug-related infractions among elite athletes. Stories about systemic rule-breaking and "doping culture"—both human and equine—have put world-class athletes and their trainers under intense scrutiny. Each newly discovered instance of abuse forces fans to question the participants' integrity, and in the case of horse racing, their humanity. 
 
 
 
In Unnatural Ability, Milton C. Toby addresses the historical and contemporary context of the Thoroughbred industry's most pressing issue. 
 
 
 
With the sport at a critical turning point in terms of doping restrictions and sports betting, Toby delivers a comprehensive account of the practice of using performance-enhancing drugs to influence the outcome of Thoroughbred races since the late nineteenth century. Toby discusses how horse doping poses a unique challenge for gambling sports and what the industry and its players must do to survive the pressure to get ahead.
