Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I agree (some of the myths may be true for some people). And when you change your age, diet, of overall physical condition, the body will respond differently. One that (I think) I'm sure of, is if you train one way for a long time -you max out on the gains you can get from it, then doing something that might not work for others, will work well for you. To answer your question: I see science as the tool, and the sport/exercise/body-building is the art.

However, is it reasonable to say that some of those myths could be true for certain individuals? Research is no doubt an important factor in any science. However, shouldn't we also take into account that sometimes even, though the research states one thing the individual may respond differently? For example, research states that hypertrophy is created the most efficiently and effectively with the use of 8-12 reps (that is debatable, but for some individuals they may respond greatly to higher or lower reps. [These are valid points that we have discussed quite frequently, but we always need to remember that the placebo effect may also come into play in some situations, as well as the fact what works now may not necessarily work tomorrow, even for the same person. All of these exceptions and confounding issues provide fertile territory for anyone to set up shop, become the local guru on the block, and make a lucrative business out of fitness mythology, especially if one has good marketing and persuasive skills. Mel Siff] As recently one has discussed MAN and DIET. Man is different one must take into account the climate, the environment, the age, the genetics, etc etc. Is sport and exercise science a science or an art? Or both?
