Hello,
In this discussion, I am obviously talking about martial arts and traditional training and not necessarily training for competitions (which is another thing).
Before, for an athlete or martial arts practitioner to become an expert in their discipline, it required a lot of time and training, so that their body could acquire the necessary technique, flexibility and strength. But now, with all the knowledge about the human body and the development of training and recovery tools and techniques, wouldn't that time needed to become an expert be reduced?
However, what will be the consequences on the sport itself, positive or negative?
The time depends on each individual. Discipline makes the main difference.
The consequences on the sport are good, obviously, anything that helps is good. It should help us reach new levels of performance.
On average, yes – providing the sensei/trainer/coach incorporates scientific knowledge into the training. But then, it'd be performance-focused training, and not traditional training anymore.
