The Fastest Age

Originally posted by Ion Beza For your miscomprehensions, ramble away. That one, I will tackle: Originally posted by Ion Beza knowledge wise one is proven wrong with data not with sentiments the key in swimming is VO2Max as in swimming cardiovascular This is the source of the frustration with arguing with Ion. He is expressing a sentiment ("the key in swimming is VO2Max"). I have yet to see data to support this point. Any studies or arguments that aerobic conditioning is *a* factor are irrelevant, as are studies about when you develop VO2Max (teen years or otherwise). Ion has to show that it trumps all other factors. Yet, he still uses that as the cornerstone of many of his other arguments (late-bloomer or otherwise).
