Aerobic capacity is defined as the maximal rate of oxygen consumption (VO2max). A large improvement in aerobic capacity can already be achieved during an intense 10-week training program.

Non-responders to exercise probably don’t exist. However, there are people that need a lot more exercise volume to obtain the same fitness benefits compared to others.

Want the #VO2max of an active 35yo when you're 80?
- ~3hrs of movement per day (<60% VO2max - zero high intensity training)
- 10,000+ steps per day.
- ~1000 kcal of metabolic work per day.

"I never train at an intensity >75% of max. It is calm endurance training"
"He never trains tired"
"He never trains tired"
"Regular exercise throughout life is the way to good health. Now everything has to be so hard and extreme. Then it quickly becomes that larger groups drop out of exercise at all"
Some more detail on each of these...

1. Adaptive training/Recovery on demand
2021 was the first year that I completely did away with planned load:recovery cycles (3:1, 2:1) etc & only added recovery when readiness scores were low.
This led to⬆️ load for strong recoverers and better response from the load for all.

2. Less aggressive load ramps
Due to employing recovery on demand, swings in the load (both between weeks and months) were reduced compared to previous seasons.
Taking recovery with each week/block led to more gradual but consistent increases in the load.

In my opinion the single best parameter that predicts longevity and improves #clinical outcome is #cardiopulmonary #fitness. #VO2Max is an easy way to quantify this. Having a ⬆️ #VO2max & a ⬆️#lactatethreshold could be the difference between life & death during #CoronaOutbreak
It could be the difference between requiring venilatory support and no ventilatory support during this #coronavirus #pandemic. So please who are #QuarantineAndChill please keep your physical activity up! Do some #tabata #HIIT
