Explanation / Answer

1. To perform superhuman feats of strength great amount of energy is required. Glucose is the primary enegy source for cells. When under great stress, 2 hormones are secreted in higher amount.

Cortisol: A hormone that has anti-inflammatory properties and increases gluconeogenesis (Production of glucose from non-carbohydarates such as lactate). Thus increasing glucose level in the blood.

Adrenaline: Increases blood sugar level, cardiac output and blood pressure. Increased cardiac output and blood pressure ensures that the glucose present in the blood reaches cells within a small time period.
