This philosophy of training, is one of the safest and most respected methodologies used today. Founded in the 1970's, it has endured the test of time and dozens of peer-reviewed scientific studies. Today it is used by many professional and NCAA athletic teams, and is even used in the management of diseases and conditions. The S.P.A.R.T.A. Training philosophy has proven safe and effective in nearly every demographic, proving successful for Osteoporosis patients in their 80's, professional athletes in every major sport, and every one else in between.
