“Activity of the nervous system improves the capacity for activity, just as exercising a muscle makes it stronger.”
Dr. Ralph Gerard
“Balancing on an unstable surface, I'm forced to use every muscle in my leg and all the muscles in my foot. It also strengthens my ankles, which is important considering the number of ankle sprains in soccer. You don't need to add the kick. At home I'll just balance on the disk for a minute. If my husband or son [Cameron, 16] is around, sometimes they'll toss the ball, and I'll catch it instead of kick it.”
Brandi Chastain
“The muscles built up by my system aren't the kind that turn into knots of gristle after middle age and give their owner rheumatic misery, which is generally the ultimate payoff for super athletes.”
Charles Atlas
“Stretches undo the damage that happens to soft tissue with repetitive motion. It improves blood flow, lengthens the muscles, reduces the tension and returns the muscle to a more normal state.”
Stan Kulzer
“She looks a lot stronger. She put on a lot of muscle and looks more confident.”
Sue Wright
“If you got IGF-1 when you were young, then you would develop much stronger and much bigger muscles as you went through adolescence than you would if you hadn't been treated. So it would change the whole sort of composition of your muscles. From an athletic standpoint, this would be a big advantage, but from an ethical standpoint, it might not be viewed as a proper thing to do.”
Lee Sweeney
“It improves muscle strength and endurance levels, joint range of motion and flexibility, and balance.”
