Body hacking. Body hacking is the application of the hacker ethic (often in combination with a high risk tolerance) in pursuit of enhancement or change to the body's functions through technological means, such as do-it-yourself cybernetic devices [1] or by introducing biochemicals. [2]
The Sears–Haack body is the shape with the lowest theoretical wave drag in supersonic flow, for a slender solid body or revolution with a given body length and volume. The mathematical derivation assumes small-disturbance (linearized) supersonic flow, which is governed by the Prandtl–Glauert equation. The derivation and shape were published ...
Bioelectrical impedance analysis. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body, and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance (resistance and reactance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle.
present. Todd Sampson's Body Hack (also known as Body Hack) is an Australian documentary television series which first premiered on 4 October 2016 on Network Ten. [1][2][3][4][5] The series was renewed for a second season in November 2016 which was set to air in 2017, however the series aired in 2018 and was titled Todd Sampson's Body Hack 2.0.
Rohmert's law. Widely used in the human factors and ergonomics field, Rohmert's law states that the maximum force one's muscles can exert decreases exponentially from the time one begins continuously exerting the force. It is commonly used to calculate "maximum holding time" for any particular task. Maximum force decays exponentially due to the ...
In muscle physiology, physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) is the area of the cross section of a muscle perpendicular to its fibers, generally at its largest point. It is typically used to describe the contraction properties of pennate muscles. [1] It is not the same as the anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSA), which is the area of the ...

Hill's muscle model. In biomechanics, Hill's muscle model refers to the 3-element model consisting of a contractile element (CE) in series with a lightly-damped elastic spring element (SE) and in parallel with lightly-damped elastic parallel element (PE). Within this model, the estimated force-velocity relation for the CE element is usually ...
