Gray does his best not to go on a rant as he discusses the current abandonment of the term (and concept!) of General Physical Preparedness - just when it’s needed the most.
GPP cannot be assumed - especially with the continued lowering of standards (military fitness, for example) and push for early sport specialization (and the accompanying neglect of generalization.)
So, what is GPP? It’s the awareness and management of three levels of signs as the foundation to any development of skill or specificity.
For Health, that means our vital signs.
For Wellness, it’s all about awareness of vulnerabilities.
For Fitness, it’s the management of Health and Wellness to be adaptable when required.
That sounds simple, but entering an activity when unhealthy or with elevated risk is probably the most common mistake made in sport-specific environments.
