Health Claims Disclaimer

The figures cited on this site, including the 9.7-year life expectancy estimate, the 47% lower mortality association, and the falls-prevention figures, come from peer-reviewed observational research. Observational studies show association, not causation. They describe what happened in large groups. They do not guarantee what will happen for any individual.

The Long Game protocol is general athletic conditioning support. It is not a treatment for any specific medical condition. Do not stop or change a treatment plan from your physician based on content from this site. If you have a known condition, are recovering from injury or surgery, or are pregnant, consult your clinician before starting new training.

References to NFL, WNBA, NBA, MLB, the Atlanta Falcons, and the Atlanta Dream are factual references to Dr. Krzemien's professional history. No endorsement by those organizations of this site or the book is claimed or implied.
