The human body is a complex structure, with interlinked systems that are finely controlled by the brain so that we can perform efficiently during our everyday activities. During sports exercise, the body can be stressed to its maximum capacity, and there is a very fine line between an athlete’s best performance and when they are working beyond their absolute capacity.
