Submitted by: Dr. Brian Wallace, Chair of Sports Fitness, USSA

Introduction

We have found that the critical weakness with training and nutrition programs today is that everyone is treated as though they were all exactly the same, which quite simply is an oversimplification of complex physiological processes.

Appreciating the impact these forces have in creating those individual differences will help empower you to build a high performance-fitness lifestyle
