Show a videoclip of one particular event and then describe the energy demands of that particular event on the human body.

Can you find data on the physiological difference between a regular human body and that of an elite athlete in this particular event e.g. resting heart rate, lung capacity, VO2, VO2 max, strength of particular muscles, sensory ability (proprioception), accuracy, endurance, balance, visual acuity, reaction time
