On Sports Science, MMA fighter Houston Alexander tests the effects of adrenaline on punching power. Read about more amazing athletic feats: www.amazon.com/Perfection-Poin...
he is not crying because of the defeat, it is the adrenaline that causes such reaction, i was once engaged in a fight where in the end i could nothold myself anymore nd started to cry,even though i did not get beaten. you have to experience it in order to understand, pure rage
Tears follow anger. Not everyone is good at hiding the tears...but they will be there for everyone no matter how much of a "hard man" you are. Interesting experiment!
@@timiojeaga4083 17-16 record not very good. He did knock out Keith Jardine. He's physical specimen but didn't live up to the hype he got after winning his 2 ufc fights. I give any man props for going into the octagon. I tried it one time at the age of 41 and got the shit beat out of me by some young buck.
omfg . fighting this guy can be brutal . in a fight , there's no need to be angry . i'm not angry during a spar / fight , i just do my best and respect my opponent . if i win or lose , its all part of my training its all learning experience . i'm a peaceful fighter
Imagine if he leaned into it more with his shoulders and with a slightly wider stance and put all his weight into it daaaaaamn he would've killed that robot.
one thing i noticed here too was his first punch hit kinda low, i'm wondering if the sensor read it properly. Oh well, either way he's a freaking machine :D
I want an actual real explanation of the tears after the adrenaline shot. Is it because of the rage induced from the shot that caused his emotions to go slightly out of wack? I mean, after an intense fight and the adrenaline starts to wear out you shake, you may tear up a bit, etc.. So my assumption is that this is an adrenaline rush thats abnormally induced (through injection) in which causes the same thing, shaking, tearing.. Thats my assumption.
+sacr3 Crying can be scientifically defined as the shedding of your tears in response to an emotional state; very different from ‘lacrimation’, which is the non-emotional shedding of tears. With that said, your plumbing apparatus that makes your tears is all the same. tear production links to the emotional centre of your brain that said you had it mostly correct :D
Yeah your assumption is pretty accurate. Due to the abnormal amount of epinephrine injected, it put his body into overdrive. Also his body was probably in some state of shock from the injections because he wasn't in any need of adrenaline no fight or flight. So when synthetic adrenaline is used your brain doesn't understand why your body is being flooded with that chemical. Causing a bunch of side effects to happen and basically his body after it was wearing off at the end he was flooded with so much emotion, and the only his brain could process that at the end was to tear up/cry.
@renegade9400 Andrenaline is pumped only for short moments at a time and grants bearers a brief release of well-engulfed energy with side affects that can be rather severe. Athletes warm up to dispose of the lactic acid build up that comes from pre-game paranoia and excitement to avoid premature muscle fatigue and damage. The only thing "hyp[ing]" in the locker room before a game does it that it improves the morale of the players.
@pcigroot your body does it whenever it gets scared goes into a panic mode or feels like its about to be hurt or be put into a sitution were its about to be hurt
@Kenevin and ur point is? i know wat he threw and im a fighter my self (boxer and mma) and there are many way to throw a straight and if u throw a straight right with out twisting ur body n only using ur shoulder ur put that much power in it, thats amazing, n thats power..i mean i dont if u understand wat im saying..
This is what my dad taught me (im a gamer) Adrenaline is like overcharging the Chinese reactor in C&C generals it gives you gobs more force, power and heightened senses but if you are exposed for long amounts of die it tarts taking its toll on the body .
As a fighter who has allergies and had also used an epi pen. I can confirm using an epi pen before a fight is a horrible idea. Probably would just end up throwing up, and might have a heart attack.
….you know not enough then lol. Epinephrine is a unspoken ppa for some reason. If you ever pay attention to certain fighters corners. It’s questionable.
@BOOLsheet Yep. I think his Brain did work too much. But i have to admit too, that Kimbo had big problems with the lowkicks. Could have worked for Houston and maybe was worth a try. Wonder what happend, if Houston used his punching power.
the point the video doesnt mention is when he is using adrenaline, he clearly pulls back his punch more. look at 6:15. that means that his punch is slower and he is also more open to getting hit. so what he is gaining in power, he is losing in technique and safety. not to mention how much more tired you get when angry. anger gives you quick short bursts of strong energy, but not thats not enough for a real fight.
Your a real genius I have to hand it to you. Just because someone does boxing, mma, etc doesn't mean that they punch any harder. There's a video Chris Angel can punch harder than GSP and Rampage Jackson on that machine. Just because it's coin operated doesn't mean it's not accurate. This thing is free to use.
Hmmm isn't it proven that emotional fighting = fighting tense = not relaxed = less fast = less powerful? What if you give an adrenaline shot to someone who is in control of their emotions?
Wtf are you on about? Adrenaline 100% makes you perform better but in bursts. It’s like if you get into a car accident and survive it’s either adrenaline or shock or both that make you barely feel a thing for the first 5-10 minutes then it wears off same shit different story
I have a anger/rage adrenaline problem u can feel it pump through ur body u can feel the blood rush to ur heart u can feel the heart pump faster and faster it almost feels like u could walk through a brick wall
@TheOriginalBigO i agree but u have to take into consideration that alexander is doing a quick baseline punch... if he would do a puch like the one rampage did he would have a bigger impulse than 600 but i think he still wouldnt beat rampage^^
You guys don't get it there is so much more to mma than who punches the hardest. That's why mma is so special you have to be great at every aspect of fighting.
