In Running on Empty: The Science of Dehydration, Jem pushes his body to the limit with intense exercise while scientists measure how dehydration affects his performance. After sweating it out on a treadmill and exercise bike — without drinking any water — his blood volume drops, and his reaction time slows by a third! The results prove just how crucial hydration is for both the body and the brain. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Bang Goes the Theory, a series that delves into the ways science impacts our lives and shapes the world we experience every day.

In Breaking Through the "Runner's Wall": How Our Bodies Get the Energy to Keep Moving, host Harith Iskander explores what happens when runners hit "the wall" during a marathon. This is when they feel like they can’t run any further. As runners exercise, their bodies use up energy from a type of sugar called glycogen. When glycogen runs out, the body starts to make lactic acid to protect the muscles from burning out. The trick to pushing past "the wall" is eating foods with carbohydrates before the race to keep energy levels up. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Got Science?, a science magazine series that explores and explains science in everyday life.
