The result was the creation of a facility for South Africa that could increase the level of performance of all sports people, encouraging support for the South African sportsmen and women across all cultures and groups.
The construction of a facility in Cape Town, that would provide extensive research and training space for the Bio-energetics of the Exercise Research Unit of the University of Cape Town and the Medical Research Council, headed by Prof. Noakes. This provided a unique opportunity for the application of research with the overall goal of improving performance and health while reducing the risk of injury.
