1:Cost is a relative concept. Do you want to do the same thing more often (team sports in season) or do you want to follow the high/low model only from a series of higher ‘highs’ requiring the traditional recovery period (recovery must be enhanced to repeat the new higher ‘high’ in the same 48hr time frame)?
2:Time is only one factor to consider in the cost equation. Adequate supplementation is another.
3:There has been considerable discussion about the replacement of traditional training means by ARP in scenario one. In scenario two, a complete replacement would be problematic.
4:Any delay in peaking is related to coordination issues, which are EMS duration related, and EMS and/or ARP can accelerate a peak in certain conditions (refer to the EMS tapes available at the site store).
5:As with the protocols suggested with Omega Wave, the advise provided by the ARP distributors may be surpassed by someone with superior skill levels and an extreme high performance/world record producing background, IMO.
