The Evolution of Sport Science
A lot of sport science is born out of things that people did because they worked for somebody else. I was trained as a biochemist, so I think of things in biochemical detail before I think of the physiology. So more than anything, it's been my understanding of biochemistry or biology that has puzzled me when I first saw some of these dogmatic beliefs in sport science. But there's a part of me that does enjoy pushing back against a long held belief, particularly when we think the science says that it's not exactly how it should be.
