Research into the health benefits of sprint interval training should focus on protocols with fewer and shorter sprints
NBJ Vollaard, RS Metcalfe - Sports medicine, 2017 - Springer
Over the past decade, it has been convincingly shown that regularly performing repeated
brief supramaximal cycle sprints (sprint interval training [SIT]) is associated with aerobic …

Contribution of oxygen extraction fraction to maximal oxygen uptake in healthy young men
We analysed the importance of systemic and peripheral arteriovenous O2 difference
(difference and a‐vfO2 difference, respectively) and O2 extraction fraction for maximal …

Endurance exercise training changes the limitation on muscle V ̇ O 2 max ̇V_O_2max in normoxia from the capacity to utilize O2 to the capacity to transport O2
RM Broxterman, PD Wagner… - The Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Maximal oxygen (O2) uptake (V ̇ O 2 max ̇V_O_2max) is an important parameter
with utility in health and disease. However, the relative importance of O2 transport and …

Maximal oxygen uptake is proportional to muscle fiber oxidative capacity, from chronic heart failure patients to professional cyclists
S van der Zwaard, CJ de Ruiter… - Journal of Applied …, 2016 - journals.physiology.org
V̇o2 max during whole body exercise is presumably constrained by oxygen delivery to
mitochondria rather than by mitochondria's ability to consume oxygen. Humans and animals …
