Like most other phenomena in this world, it is multifactorial. But I agree that one's genetic code is the biggest factor (nothing will make Priddis run faster).
But the point is, that is an uncontrollable factor. The factors such as dietary composition, sleep habits, social habits etc. which can be controlled warrant further study.
swooshacummings believes everything is controlled by the club (I don't think this is true), including which fruits and vegetables reside in the players' kitchens, and how they consume that produce (ie. do they eat some of the bioflavonoid-rich white pith from citrus fruits?)...
"In 1962, Dr. Robert Cragin used lemon-orange derived bioflavonoids on different groups of athletes in a double blind study. It was found that the athletes taking bioflavonoids experienced less (sic) muscle and joint injuries than the control group. These athletes also recovered quicker from similar injuries than the group of athletes not taking the bioflavonoids. The addition of vitamin C to the bioflavonoids (as seen in citrus fruits) appeared to enhance these effects."
Darling has a unique diet that I'm not sure many others follow. Sure, they'd get advice, but do they heed it? Does the club check? Or do they simply measure outputs (training loads, skin-folds etc.) and retrospectively assess what the player is doing with their diet if there is an issue?
