I'm not even sure where to start.

Duck. It's a randomised controlled trial. It's the best way to find out whether a treatment (or in this case a training program) works better than what you are comaring it to. Why? Because the participants you select are randomly assigned to the treatment groups. You can't select them into the group you want. That's a very important strength, not a weakness. That's why we insist on this testing regime for new medical treatments.

Randomisation does not imply that genetics were not investiagted. It does imply that genetics were controlled for. You cannot really claim genetics are a factor when randomisation has occured.

And I get it. Your a great coach who's done wonders with people. Nothing in our discussion has in anyway contradicted that you are a good guy and you do a good job and you've been around UWH for a very long time and that you have an opinion we respect hearing. What we are trying to discuss is whether this breathing resistance training might be a useful adjunct training technique for UWH. I still can't find a proper copy of the actual RCT. But if it's well designed and run then it offers very strong proof that this training technique is indeed a useful additional technique. It would require confirmation in UWH players. But it's actually worth looking at.

I cannot understand why this is a contention. Why are you so anti a potential innovative training technique for UWH with proven efficacy elsewhere?
