Like I said to the other reply, you are making logical points but the data shows that they are flat out wrong. "Raw power" whatever that means (likely you're using it as a rough proxy for VO2max) is a solid predictor if you&#

You'd be surprised. Here's a pdf of the VO2max study(1) that established the relationship between efficiency and VO2max in elite cyclists is very similar to that shown in elite runners. Of the 11 world class cyclists tested, the b

I'm skeptical of the author's claim about V02max that "even half a percentage point can make the difference in elite sport, that is a huge bump." ________ RUNNING PREDICTS RUNNING BETTER THAN PHYSIOLOGY (a duh? moment he

It would be simpler for sure, but there's no way to be sure of the future (i.e., at the financing) relationship between share price and overall valuation. This is because, of course, the noteholders can't know how many shares will

I'm with Roger Bannister. It's inconceivable. How could it possibly be true that in the 100 years between 1770 and 1870, the fastest milers lost a full 30 seconds (25% performance decrease)[1]? How could it be that men like Thomas

See my other comment to your first post. What you posted was, ironically, the exact opposite of what Coast was trying to show. To be fair, however, yours is a mistake than many, many people have made -- including some very successful econ

That is literally the exact opposite of what Coase said. Coase said that in a world without transaction costs it doesn't matter who the liability falls upon. When you turn to the real world, the fact that it matters greatly who the
