Between Gav and Atapene I think you two nailed this one. Elite athletes and the general UWH community already are training these muscles so the improvement would be nowhere near the 33% the article claims. It says 30 experienced swimmers without putting a level qualifier on them. These could be folks who get in and swim a mile in 40 minutes every day. Never stressing their lungs or even getting heartrates to raise. I know hockey players that have 10-plus years experience but you wouldn't know it by seeing them play. But put them in a one-month training program and their game would jump a level or two. Just look at improvement of players after their first big tourney whether it's a weekend or a week long.

I wouldn't waste my time with it, but then again, Trolls don't need to breathe much.
