Body builders do not compete with strength.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Tennis requires a different set of attributes than power lifting, but strength is important.  A tremendous amount of strength is required to cut corners and change direction of travel.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>It's not about strength, it's about recovery time</title><link>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2957936.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2009 23:41:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e55aff1-63ee-4857-a1e9-69fccb83d317:2957936</guid><dc:creator>ebakunin</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2957936.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=83221&amp;PostID=2957936</wfw:commentRss><description>When Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted to steroid use (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Schwarzenegger#Steroid_use), he said it was about muscle maintenance, not muscle growth. Regardless of whether you believe him, he does bring up a good point. Tennis players put tremendous strain on their bodies. Doping would be most effective when reducing recovery time between tournaments. This is also the real danger - constant touring encourages doping, rather than prime time performance.&lt;br&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
