Hi all !
As i was investigating internet and specially this forum in search for an inspiring idea for my IC essay at the end of the month, I started to realize (or maybe saw how obvious it was) that their are so many contradictions out there in our sport. On every possible aspect of it. And it continues in the highest levels (where it get maybe even worse). It seems to me that, with enough dedication, whatever school of thought you are in, you will get there if this is what you really want. Thus, of course, my question isn't "wich one is best ?" as I am a firm believer of mastering fundamentals before even thinking of going experimental. I mean if your aim is to devellop strenght, start whith mastering some sets of pullups, pushups and squats before going fancy. In this regard, the AIDA education gives a very solid base of "pushups, pullups, squats" type training before looking further (my opinion only).
The point of this thread is to point out what I now call the freediving confusion. And since I see some pretty sharp, educated minds around here, I would love to hear what you have to say about that :
What are the hot topics of debate in the trade ? (Diet, training, equalisation technique, adaptation / evolution, etc) ? I mean why in the classroom my master instructor emphasized on the danger of hyperventilation as the gospel, and day later hyperventilate as a pig in order to do his STA PB ? (One of hundred examples I guess).
Why our sport seems to be specially subjected to missunderstandings, disagreement, but some radically, even opposite approach of training and eating would bring two athletes to the same depth ?
What at the issues possibly caused by this confusion ?
Any input is very much welcome, but let's stay cordial and respectfull of each others opinions and views of the topics that might be debated here. Articles to back-up claims would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all for your help !
