I heard that TI is based on the research of a Russian scientist. Is this true? Who was it? Any published papers or data? Thanks.

    In the books, he often used Popov as an example. But I'm guessing that doesn't mean that it was based on Russian research, just that it is one component. Who was/is Popov's coach/trainer? I remember reading about the Australian National Swim Coach being a Russian scientists (physicist?) who developed the principles of TI and that they were simply adopted here in the US by the TI folks.
