Purpose: This review aimed to determine (1) performance and training characteristics such
as training intensity distribution (TID), volume, periodization, and methods in highly …

While the physiological adaptations that occur following endurance training in previously
sedentary and recreationally active individuals are relatively well understood, the …

An understanding of physical demands during official competitions is essential to achieving
the highest performance in handball. The aim of this systematic review was to summarise …

Increased cardiovascular fitness, V˙ O 2max, is associated with enhanced endurance
capacity and a decreased rate of mortality. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is one of the …

This article traces the history of scientific and empirical interval training. Scientific research
has shed some light on the choice of intensity, work duration and rest periods in so-called …

The literature related to Borg's ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) scale has revealed
inconsistencies about the strength of the relationship between ratings of perceived exertion …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine, i) the reliability of blood lactate and
ventilatory-based thresholds, ii) the lactate threshold that corresponds with each ventilatory …

The anaerobic threshold (AnT) is defined as the highest sustained intensity of exercise for
which measurement of oxygen uptake can account for the entire energy requirement. At the …

The maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) is defined as the highest blood lactate
concentration (MLSSc) and work load (MLSSw) that can be maintained over time without a …

Metabolomic profiling of biofluids, eg, urine, plasma, has generated vast and ever-
increasing amounts of knowledge over the last few decades. Paradoxically, metabolomic …
