Season 2
This season will welcome many new athletes into the Sport Science lab, including NFL stars Ray Lewis, Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Vernon Daivs and Tank Johnson; NBA stars Stephon Marbury, Kevin Love, Amare Stoudemire and Luke Walton; and Major League Baseball's Matt Kemp and James Loney of the Los Angeles Dodgers and pitcher Jake Peavy of the San Diego Padres.
This season's first episode will test what generates more power - natural adrenaline or an adrenaline shot with Mixed Martial Arts fighter Houston Alexander agreeing to be injected with a dose of epinephrine.
"The shows are appreciated by a lot of different audiences, different age groups and backgrounds," says Bir. "In all the shows we've applied the tools developed in the lab to record, measure and map the speed, force and range of the human body, specifically the athlete. The final product is not only entertaining, but educational."
The show caught the attention of many science teachers last season who used the show as a teaching tool. This year, FSN and Wayne State University have developed a curriculum to help with classroom teaching that will be available online soon.
