In a new article, Zehr, a professor at theUniversity of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, describes his success inusing the Caped Crusader (披篷骑士) to engage students in the study of physiology.
"Batman (蝙蝠侠) has such powerful influenceon readers because he is a fictional human with superpowers that seem withinreach if we only work at it," writes Zehr, in a new article published in Advancesin Physiology Education, a journal of the American Physiological Society.Zehr believes that it is not Batman's vast wealth that allows him to protectthe citizens of Gotham City (哥谭市) , but his dedication to developing a wide range of physicalskills.
Zehr uses Batman to establish a framework,grounded in his fictional universe as well as our real one, in order to discussthe various components of exercise and physical training and illustrate how thebody's physiological systems respond. His experiences in teaching undergraduatecourses in physiology and neurophysiology made him realize that connecting scienceto popular culture helped students understand the lessons better.
He first presented a formal analysis of thepersonal and physical discipline that would be required to transform anordinary person into a superhero in his book, Becoming Batman: The Possibilityof a Superhero. The book drew on Zehr's understanding and work in humanmovement and the plasticity of nerves and muscles associated with exercise. Bycoincidence, the book was published in the wake of The Dark Knight, theblockbuster movie which recounts Batman and his arch-enemy, the Joker.
With the casting almost complete for thesequel(续集), TheDark Knight Rises, Dr. Zehr writes about his experiences connecting scienceto popular culture, which is captured in the Advances, article, "APersonal View: From Claude Bernard to the Batcave and Beyond: Using Batman as ahook for physiology education."
