Manuscript Clarification Response.

Thank you for raising these issues and the debate this has generated. Below we have responded to all your points, where our aim is to show that our contention is not with the need to develop an aerobic base, but rather the extent to which it should be developed and the methods used in achieving this. Also, while we recognize there are three swords, we will outline an argument that the strength and conditioning (S&C) programming for these does not differ. Naturally these are our inferences so at times it is not about disproving your argument, but rather presenting a logical alternative.
