Items related to The Perfection Point: Predicting the Absolute Limits...
Just forty years ago, Jim Hines ran the 100 metres in under 10 seconds. Now Usain Bolt is inching close to the 9.50 second mark, begging the question: exactly how fast can a human go?
Utilizing cutting edge science to examine incredible physical feats in the most elite sports, John Brenkus uncovers what it takes to reach the 'perfection point' - that measurement of speed, distance or force that supreme athletes can inch closer to but never exceed. Shining a light on the crucial balance between physical stamina and emotional drive, this is the ultimate guide to the further limits of human performance.

Review:
'This book mixes hard science, expert opinion and the tiniest hint of plausible assumption... It's beyond fascinating: Brenkus is looking hundreds of years into the future, predicting confluences of circumstance that bring exactly the right mix of genes, training and environmental conditions. And his calculations take into account the limits of human flesh and bone, possible refinements in technique and predicted changes in regulations... They aren't just hypothetical vignettes, but truly moving accounts that move beyond sports journalism and approach literature.' --BBC Focus
