Here is a place to start.
People use phrases like "super human strength" when what they actually are talking about is someone so drugged that they do not feel pain and they have an enormous amount of adrenaline pumping.
She did not go down from the pain of the taser because the drugs she was on set the pain aside. The adrenaline can make you do things that may even result in bones breaking and muscles being torn. As soon as it wears off you will pay a major price but at the time you keep going.
Also, and this is something people do not consider, she did not care if she hurt them while they were concerned about hurting her. It gives you an advantage in a struggle and is why handling children who are in a rage can be such a problem. Sure you can over power them but you also do not want to do any damage. And when you are dealing with a clawing, hitting, biting, out of control child that can be a challenge.
Thanks! I didn't want to register to read that article but what I could glean from the abstract was what I already understood... that amphetamines are used to keep men awake and moving.

Not feeling pain enables a person to do things that a sober person could do with protective equipment. It doesn't give them a 10 foot vertical leap, or an ability to break handcuff chains.

My understanding of how a taser works is it interrupts electrical signals from the brain which control muscle movement. The properly tased person just drops to the ground and twitches.
A person not responding to being tased automatically raises the question of whether they had been properly tased... two darts from a fully functional device firmly embedded in tissue.
