It's not often I'm saddened when someone dies, especially as it comes to us all, as sure as we are all born. I just read that Brian Whipp has died. He was an eminent physiologist who played a huge role in developing the understanding of oxygen uptake kinetics we have today.
Although I always struggled to understand his papers his acquisition of knowledge in this area has probably taught me more about exercise intensity, and indirectly training prescription, than anyone else. I never actually met the guy but once saw him at Physoc and it was more exciting than when I met Kevin Keegan.
Scientists like Prof. Whipp are the real superstars of the world!
