How to improve your endurance capacity for increased health and performance?

Here’s a thread of some of our endurance exercise infographics 🧵👇

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.

A breath restriction mask can be worn to increase the resistance of respiration, thereby training respiratory muscles. However, breath restriction masks do not improve adaptations to endurance training.

4/

Four weeks of the ‘live high train low’ (live at elevation, train closer to sea level) strategy improves performance in elite runners. It remains to be determined if the strategy is superior to other training strategies.

5/

B-vitamins are involved in many processes of energy production. A diet low in B-vitamins may lower exercise performance.

6/

Exercise training can improve exercise performance, mitochondrial function, and blood sugar control. However, excessive exercise (overtraining) can decrease performance, mitochondrial function, and glucose tolerance.
