          Is it a shock that the body can adapt to demand?

          Dr.

        1. Born in - Siff grew up in Johannes, South Africa, and he became interested in sports through his father and Belgian Strongman Serge Reding.
        2. Siff was originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, where he received his PhD in physiology, specializing in biomechanics and his MSc in Applied Mathematics.
        3. Besides defeating many strongmen of his time, he was a generous sponsor of many charitable causes and an early champion of more hygienic.
        4. Dr Mel Siff was Senior Lecturer in mechanical engineering at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa for many years.
        5. As a sprint coach, I was counting on it! As for the motor neurons, they can be made more effective by lowering their electrical resistance by heating them through increased local blood supply (capillary density). This is why, perhaps counter-intuitively, 65% of our running volume was low intensity.

          As well as enhancing capillary density, this interspersing of low intensity training allowed the volume and frequency of high intensity work to be lowered to level that could allow for the continual, and, ultimately, extreme intensification that could bring these changes about.
