CMO at SportFits · Editorial: evidence-based fitness, training & longevity
Thorsten writes about training, health and nutrition with one clear standard: it has to be traceable, practical and free of hype. He works from studies, guidelines and everyday experience in sport, puts trends in context and always names the limits, trade-offs and alternatives.
His focus is long-term capability: strength training as the base, endurance work in sensible doses, proper recovery, and routines that actually survive a normal week.
