"peaking" is a dumb concept life has more dimensions than that but idk i think physical stress reactions are best matched by physical responses, most people esp in "knowledge work" rarely experience this match, and high school sports did happen to be a good vehicle for it
the more general thesis is that i don't think it's possible to not be disconnected from your body in a world where you just go to the gym or do pilates or whatever and never put it through moments of actual critical high-stress physical performance
