FSN’s Emmy-winning Sport Science is making a comeback, debuting its 13-episode second season March 22 at 9pm (local time). Each week the best athletes in the world enter the Sport Science lab and run through a series of tests designed to question everything fans think they know about sports. Sport Science tests the limits of athletic performance and challenges the assumptions athletes have about their own bodies.
Highlights this season include MMA fighter Houston Alexander getting injected with a dose of epinephrine to see how it affects his punching power. The goal is to determine if adrenaline really does give a person bursts of extraordinary strength. And MMA star Fedor Emilianenko has his choking power put to the test against a Burmese python, while boxer Chad Dawson faces off against a diamondback rattlesnake to see who strikes faster. New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees tests his throwing release against an actual gunslinger, and Seahawks DB Marcus Trufant tests his backward speed against a Corvette in reverse.
