James Wendland Participates in Debate

Kinesiologists.ca founder and president James Wendland recently debated Dr. Jim Rupert of the University of British Columbia on the topic of performance enhancing substances in sports.

The November 14th debate was rigorous and entertaining, to a crowded auditorium at Vancouver's Public Library. Being asked to play devils advocate is never an easy task, as James believes in natural supplementation and hard work to achieve physical gains. He argued the for side convincingly- increasing the audience poll by 30% to his side when they were asked their before and after stance! The Langara dialogues, hosted by David Brenner thanks James for his involvement; the entire team at Kinesiologists.ca are very proud of him, great job James!
