I think everyone can agree it is BS. I'll check Marty's heartrate at the World's to see if he is getting adequate stimulation this weekend! The testing protocol sucked,… let’s face it.

So the issue is just BPM, the issue at also how fast the O2 is being picked up by the various muscle groups.

that’s a nice little warm up.

the guys who put the study together don’t know jack about training.

I believe that an appropriate study, with controlled parameters, will yield much different results. There are too many variables to control currently.<br/><br/>My colleagues and I are in the process of conducting some research into both the biomechanical and physiological parameters of kettlebell sport and are looking to publish this in the literature some time next year.

That was my impression, too. It always seemed to me that the effect needed to be cumulative. This was just a one time test, it seems. 150 reps in 30 minutes? Not much of a test. Don’t think so.

Did I just miss that? 5×10 of swing, snatch & C&P is not a lot of work. 150 total reps.
