Some features applying can examined inauthentic forms In focusing possible elements motivation, evolutionary biology, namely Dawkins's theory gene, provides unique platform. primarily (a human) effort spread genes. Here, connection HIIT, we build concepts replicator vehicle deal basic selection unit evolution its form. Conclusions: presents an exciting that effectivity sports training, social benefits, aspects. would like offer (mainly ontological, partly ethical)
