This new appointment with "Ulisse" will talk about the extraordinary machine that is the human body. but seen from a particular point of view, the point of view of those who push their bodies beyond the limits: athletes, men and women, who represent, physically speaking, the excellence of the human species. We will be transported behind the scenes of sport, to get to know its secrets up close and try to answer the questions: Why does one athlete run faster than another? What is the maximum height we can ever reach with a jump? What happens in our brain when we hit a ball? We will try to answer these and many other questions during the episode, thanks to the help of scientists, athletes, exceptional guests and together with champions such as Michael Phelps, Asafa Powell, Valentina Vezzali, Deborah Compagnoni and many others, telling many stories and revealing many curiosities.
