Peak Performance: Have we reached peak human athletics performance?
Update: 2024-08-01
Description
These days, top athletes are breaking fewer and fewer world records. But why is this occurring, and does it mean that we are close to reaching the limits of human sporting performance?
In this episode, we catch up with Dr Jonathan Taylor, a senior lecturer in sport and exercise at Teesside University.
He tells us the role our genes play in our athletic performance, the limits our musculature and cardiovascular systems play, and why it’s unlikely to mean that we’ll lose interest in playing and watching sports anytime soon.
