How to Increase Your Athletic Ability | The Scientific Truth

I dont know if I'm considered "professional" but I am an ultra marathon runner and also left handed. Not really related to hands but i think thats considered an athlete.

Hey scishow! Can you guys do an episode on pain, pain tolerance and how people build that up, and the relevant science behind the nervous system? I've been nighting as an educator for the local highschool, and I have some scars which prompted a conversation with the students over pain.

As a right handed armature fencer, Tom is right. First time I even fenced a left hander was in competition. Did not go well.

Anyone who works out knows that your game face definitely helps you tough out those last 20 mins

Reducing risk of brain injury in football was my grad research. Kinda funny to hear it being talked about here on YouTube

well... as a Right Hander it is way harder to play against left handed people because most the enemies would most likely be right handed, you are just more skilled to fighting right then left handed. Even left Handed peopel have problems fighting against left handed people if they rarely fight against one.

13:08 screenshotted and wallpapered to get me through the holidays in general 😂

With the psych video, I want to say that the increase in physical power you feel when angry is one of those things you definitely can feel happen to yourself, even if there is no direct correlation through experimentation

If they use sweat for an analog for stress they better do their measurements in AC. I work outside usually in Louisiana or Texas and in summer simply being outside means sweating a lot. It's hot and humid so by the sweat test I would seem extremely stressed every time I stepped outside no matter what I was actually doing.

Being left-handed is an advantage. If you play baseball or golf, the real advantage for right-handers is being left-eyed (i.e. left eye dominant). A right-handed batter or golfer who is left-eye dominant can see the ball better to hit it. If you're a pitcher, being a lefty is a huge advantage. If you don't have the stuff to be a starting pitcher, a lefty reliever with decent talent can still write his own ticket for years.

Made me laugh when you said cheerleading at first. I was a flyer back in the day. I got thrown up in the air and didn’t always get caught. Sometimes a human head broke my fall. That shit’s dangerous.

Can we cast Anthony in a reading rainbow reboot?

Carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide problems at indoor ice rinks could easily be eliminated if ice rinks transition to electric zambonis. Since the zamboni isn't going very far, and is rarely used for more than 10 minutes every hour, keeping it charged would be no problem.

Thank goodness for this channel. They make science fun!

At this point, I assume everyone my circle will be as excited as I am to learn a new fun fact as I am. It would be pretty hard to put up with my nonsense otherwise 🤣

Idk if its just me but as a hockey player I play better when im talking and smiling and having fun rather then getting super anxious and over thinking every play because its gotta be perfect Its a bit of the kevin holland affect if anyone watches ufc

Great Host!

I always played better when I was relaxed, when I could smile at the other team while they got angry. Always played worse when I was angry

I used to do that all of the time. I won 238 drag races at Baylands and more obscure places, I would be astride 'QIKR'N'U' a 1200 CC 200 Horsepower V-max Motorcycle. I designed and built much of it myself: I made a roaring snorting black and chime monster.. I would line up against some poor schnook (he would be poorer by a$100 in a few seconds!). I'd grab a handful of throttle and the front brake, and hit it. The ibike would roar once and jump 2 feet straight up in the air. The guy in lane 2? His face white he sat stunned or dead as I merrily took off when the light turned green. My nickname Holeshot Hunter was eon at that track thru psychology and sheer muscle. I won 2 trophies with that one run.
