Review: The book is very readable -- broken down into themed chapters with sub-sections (effectively articles) addressing a related topic and all followed by a useful summary at the end of each chapter. The author does an outstanding job of substituting facts for impressions. The book refers to a number of studies relating to exercise -- like stretching, nutrition, aging. In some cases, showing what really works and what might be described as myth (or at least, what is not supported by research). While you can read it straight through, my suggestion is to pick the chapters and the articles that are of greatest interest to you, then get around to the others when you have time. I've been a runner and a reader about running for 35 years and I feel that I learned a lot. I highly recommend the book.
Review: Un bouquin très intéressant que j'ai apprécié lire du début à la fin... En effet, il m'a permis de réfléchir à mon propre entraînement hebdo de sportif amateur... J'ai pris conscience que durant mes années collèges puis lycée qui commence à dater maintenant, bien des méprises nous étaient inculquées à l'époque, comme sur les étirements, l'échauffement, les lactates, etc. Autre exemple, réalisant des séances d'efforts d' "Indoor Cycling", en soirée l'hiver dernier et avec à la clef un gros mal de gorge et une forte bronchite, très longue et difficile à soigner, j'ai appris grâce à l'auteur que la cause en était la sècheresse de l'air... J'ai alors compris pourquoi, sans être un grand naîf mais un amoureux du TdF, de nombreux cyclistes pro sont soignés pour de l'asthme... Bref, j'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à le lire en intégralité et j'ai appris pas mal de choses pour progresser dans ma pratique !

Letto volentieri questo libro che spiega miti e verità dell'attività fisica. Interessante per tutti e non solo per atleti. consigliato a chi vuole fare attività fisica con criterio senza perdere tempo in cose che non hanno un riscontro scientifico e non sono di provata efficacia
