What NDD said way earlier in this thread about functional strength and about training in body armor, got me curious about something...

I used to get all my aerobic workouts by playing 2-3 hours a day of serious, full court basketball outdoors or in an unairconditioned gym. Not only was it more fun (I hate running just to run), but, I think, it also develops alot more functionality because you're having to think while moving and because it incorporates lateral movement, change of direction, change of speed, etc.

I'm just curious, but might it be more useful for you guys to adapt/invent some kind of sport that you could play in body armor for your aerobic training?
