Скачать или смотреть NSTP #29: Academia vs. Adaptability In Sports Science & Training Systems for Youth Athletes

In Episode 29, Jacob and Quintin dissect the divide between academic exercise science and functional, system-based training philosophies.
The first half dives into how academia shapes authority in the fitness world — contrasting PhD-driven approaches like Renaissance Periodization with the experimental, field-tested methods of innovators like Marv Marinovich and other functional systems.

At 35:15, the conversation shifts toward youth athletic development — how to train adaptability, rhythm, and reactive intelligence from a young age. The hosts explore how coaches can integrate nervous system principles into early-stage training without falling into the trap of rigid structure.
