I agree, I only reposted the part of my reply last week to Chuck regarding equine. I did go into detail about human sports physiology also! I didn't want to repost that here!
BTW, I'm on several national sports medicine boards (USA Gymnastics, USA Swimming, NCAA, Big East Conference ect) that does research and makes recommendations for sports safety of our youth and young adults. Interesting stuff.
