Pre-exhaustion Training, a Narrative Review of the Acute Responses and Chronic Adaptations.

Gold Standard Evidence Needed

According to GRADE and EBM methodology, here is what ideal scientific evidence would look like to definitively prove or disprove this specific claim, ordered from strongest to weakest evidence.
