Now we are into Pre Season

[stellation]

Except for being overweight, every measure of health for me is very good (Blood Pressure,Cholesterol, Glucose etc etc) but I couldn't run out of sight on a dark night. So you could say I'm in this category somewhat.

(I am trying to go to the Gym and eat better but it's bloody hard work)

I'm going to read as

I have a body like Jesse White

I'm one of those who sees 50% less fat on the label and immediately think that means I can have 2.

Hang on, I know I saw Jesse mark over his head this year, at least once.

You can be muscularly fit and strong but it's whether or not your body has the ability to keep repeating what you can do without falling over gasping for air (like Vez). Fitness involves a few things - Muscular strength, stamina which is endurance as well as things like how well you body stretches, bends etc.

So he probably is just saying that Jesse looks like an athlete, he looks muscularly fit and he is agile but all the exercises he does to put his body in that shape he can't do over an extended period of time.

Refer below to answer...........................There would be a physiological answer in the difference between the muscle fibres and how they act. However, I'll leave you with the research as I don't have the time. It's like comparing someone that runs 100 - 400 metre races to someone who runs marathons.

Its the same when people confuse fitness and health. Someone can be very fit yet be extremely unhealthy and someone can be unfit yet be extremely healthy.

I was more wondering where it would be different to working on fitness- I assumed endurance is just a component of overall fitness?

We are kindred spirits Al!

The pre-game warm up doesn't count Prims....

I'm sure it plays a part.

It was interesting watching On the Couch tonight and Chris Scott talking about Tom Hawkins.

He said that Tom's endurance was down because they played him as a second ruckman for most of the season. Once Vardy and someone else stepped up, they let Hawkins settle into a forward position. They found that this improved things a lot for him.

I couldn't help wondering if this hasn't been Jesse's problem this year. Whereas Mummy, I imagine has a greater level of fitness and therefore endurance.

Other things from tonight's show:

- It was pretty clear from Scott that Hawkins will be with the Cats next year so we can drop that one off these threads now;
- Players that lock arms before a GF always lose;
- More bad footage of Meaty and some shocking lip sync;
- Ten years of On the Couch done and dusted. How quickly has that gone? I still remember enjoying Monday Experts!!

Hopefully someone will give us a "learned" answer to this fitness/endurance question. Where's Dr Oz when you need him ?

Jesse took a mark that won us the game against North.

Yep and we've probably paid him $500,000.00+ over the last 5 years. Sounds like a fair return to me.
