It isn't new, but with advances in medicine and technology its been much more tested and studied over the past 4 decades as far as what is most affective. Fitness now spans a wider range of diet and training techniques than it ever did.

This is true, which is why most elite professional athletes train in secret and notable coaches are highly sought after. But in a very broad sense of fitness and conditioning, most people don't need to complicate things as much as they do. I used to fret over specifics, luckily I met a coach who brought me down to earth. I know a few people who take training down to a science, and they work to gain only a tiny improvement. However most of them have a training history that spans 7+ years. Fractions of a second means a win or a loss in their world.
I spent a year building a solid foundation before I was allowed to start formal training.
