Breaking your limits: how to train and improve VT2 for high intensity

by Consuelo SotoEnglish, SciencePosted on No Comments

In our constant pursuit of unraveling the secrets of endurance performance, we’ve already explored the First Ventilatory Threshold (VT1) as the foundation of our endurance. Today, we’ll raise the intensity to understand the next physiological milestone: the Second ventilatory threshold (VT2). What is the Second Ventilatory Threshold? The Second Ventilatory Threshold, commonly known as VT2 or also called …

¿Cómo Optimizar el VO₂max en Atletas de Resistencia? HIIT vs. Intervalos de Sprint

by Consuelo SotoCiencia, EspañolPosted on No Comments

El consumo máximo de oxígeno (VO₂max) es la base del rendimiento en deportes de resistencia y dos estudios recientes confirman que el entrenamiento aeróbico de intervalos de alta intensidad (HIIT, por sus siglas en inglés) es superior al entrenamiento de intervalos de sprint (SIT, por sus siglas en inglés) para mejorar el VO₂max tanto en hombres como en mujeres. …

HIIT vs. Sprint Intervals: How to Optimize VO₂max for Endurance Athletes

by Consuelo SotoEnglish, SciencePosted on No Comments

Maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max) is the cornerstone of endurance performance, and two recent studies confirm that aerobic high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is superior to sprint interval training (SIT) in improving VO₂max for both men and women. For endurance coaches and self-educated athletes, these findings offer critical insights into structuring training programs for peak performance. Key Findings From …
