Some of them reveal a poor understanding of simple concepts as specific strength, which really, is not a big deal, since exercise physiology is not a requirement for being an athlete. <br /><br />But above all, what I find naive is that you are willing to override the amount of knowledge Paulo Sousahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01661280271310309495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682083835592080008.post-76441829062156616432009-08-10T21:50:28.483-06:002009-08-10T21:50:28.483-06:00"You would need to a pretty extensive study, ..."You would need to a pretty extensive study, done over a long period of time, in order to prove something that we already have a pretty good idea of the results"<br /><br />I guess I asked the original question in search of a study correlating wts and injuries.
