dstebbins Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Adrenaline is designed to give you a temporary boost in energy and power, in order to overcome danger. Well, for each milligram of adrenaline that your body produces, how many joules of energy does your body get? Feel free to group it into kilojoules or megajoules if you like.

lemur Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I'm guessing it would depend on the condition of you muscles and how much energy they are willing and able to respond to the adrenaline with. I don't have a clue about all the mitigating factors though, so I couldn't really even begin to speculate about even the feeling that results from 1mg adrenaline, let alone how much muscle-activity/tension I would respond with.

Sisyphus Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Adrenaline does not give you energy in that way. I guess you could say that it makes you use your energy more quickly, via increased heart rate and the rest of the fight or flight response.

Mr Skeptic Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 It's just a signal for your body to go into overdrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
