Interval exercise typically involves repeated bouts of relatively intense exercise interspersed
by short periods of recovery. A common classification scheme subdivides this method into …

In this review, we argue that several key features of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)
should underpin discussions about the biological and reductionist determinants of its …

Key points The prevalence of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) non‐response gradually
declines in healthy individuals exercising 60, 120, 180, 240 or 300 min per week for 6 …

Background: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is as a time-efficient alternative to
moderate-or low-intensity continuous exercise for improving variables related to endurance …

The risk associated with multiple cancers, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and all-cause
mortality is decreased in individuals who meet the current recommendations for physical …

Aerobic exercise training leads to cardiovascular changes that markedly increase aerobic
power and lead to improved endurance performance. The functionally most important …

Key points This study assessed the respective contributions of haematological and skeletal
muscle adaptations to any observed improvement in peak oxygen uptake () induced by …

Purpose Although endurance training (ET) commonly augments maximal oxygen
consumption (VO2max), it remains unclear whether such increase is associated with that of …

Aims Intrinsic sex differences in fundamental blood attributes have long been hypothesized
to contribute to the gap in cardiorespiratory fitness between men and women. This study …

Our objective is to highlight some key physiological determinants of endurance exercise
performance and to discuss how these can be further improved. V̇ o 2max remains …
