Developing muscular ability

The interaction of the bodily systems to improve fitness means we must not only address oxygen delivery (our top end work) and oxygen use (endurance / sustainable power), but also think about how we recruit the appropriate muscle fibres to produce the power. Even for endurance athletes, working on muscle fibre recruitment using 'supra-maximal' efforts can be a key way to improve performance
