The Vegetarian Experiment
(By TheFitnessChamp.com) - If you've read this site frequently enough, you can probably tell I am one for dietary experimentation. Well, my current experiment has taken me to a place where I am interested in learning more about the "herbivore vs carnivore" debate.

Each of these friends were what I would consider to be "healthy/athletic" people, both in-terms of lifestyle and body types. This caused me to want to investigate things a little further (which is why Google is my favorite website).

Eccentrics, Plyometrics, and Energy Cost of Locomotion
In a recent study in the JSCR: Effect of plyometric vs. dynamic weight training on the energy cost of running; researchers demonstrated that plyometrics had slightly superior effects on reductions in energy
cost of running compared with dynamic weight training, leading them to
render the conclusion that athletic development for the running athlete
should emphasize plyometric activities.
While I definitely agree with the thought process, my next question is, “why?” Why does
