Dr Verkhoshansky recently published the below information:
 
Super - methods of Special Physical Preparation for the High - Class 
Athlete Yuri Verkhoshanski, PhD please refer to www.verkhoshanky.com

...W. Hollman and T. Hettinger (5) have determined the common to all, 
innate potential of the human organism (inclusive of the nervous 
system and muscles). The have divided them into four parts:
· reserves employed in reactive movements (15%);
· "physiological" reserves employed  under conditions of elevated 
motor activity (20%);
· "special" reserves mobilized only under conditions of muscle 
performance of great intensity or long duration (35%);
· "innately defended" reserves mobilized only in extreme, life-
threatening situations (30%).
The third and fourth segments of the reserve potential are 
distinguished by their mobilization barrier, inhibited by the central 
nervous system.   Overcoming this barrier under normal living 
conditions is precluded by a protective inhibition, which forces the 
body to reduce the intensity of the work, or cease it.  To overcome 
of this barrier with doping can cause irreparable harm to health and 
can even be lethal.
 Based on the W. Hollman and T. Hettinger scheme, it is possible that 
systematic sport training draws upon the "physiological" reserves of 
the body; and that high class sportsman utilize "special" reserves 
(20,29).
