💪 Training to failure 🥵 – not always is the answer! A new study found that training to failure (0–1 RIR) vs. leaving 4–6 reps in reserve led to similar gains in muscle size and strength 🏋️♂️ 👉 You don’t need to die every set to grow 💪 physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.14814/p…
Also thanks to the international exercise physiologists who read drafts of our manuscript and convinced us that one cannot measure the vLamax. We were close to giving up but came up with the vLapeak as a good enough estimate link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Energy metabolism is really quite remarkable Little bits of energy we call metabolites flow continuously, converging in our mitochondria (TCA or Krebs cycle) where they are re-routed and directed where needed The basis of life and health is the flow of energy Great animation…

25 years later and we are still debating this. Robergs review should be part of undergrad teaching so we can stop wasting time on this: sportsci.org/jour/0102/rar.…
This review critically evaluates whether high-intensity exercise-induced lactic-acidosis causes/contributes to fatigue during human exercise.
🚨🚴♂️World-class triathlete Lionel Sanders just dropped a bombshell: he’s pre-diabetic. ...true BRAVERY by Lionel, but shocking? Not to us. In 2023, we uncovered "very fit" runners—⬆️VO2Max & ⬇️Body Fat—silently battling the same. ☹️Skeptics laughed. Yet...docs and athletes…
Don't mistake solitude for loneliness. Deciding to be alone is different from being isolated. New evidence: When people think it's harmful to be by themselves, time alone is more likely to make them lonely. Isolation is unpleasant seclusion. Solitude is often a peaceful choice.
What Is “Zone 2 Training”?: Experts’ Viewpoint on Definition, Training Methods, and Expected Adaptations (Sitko el al., 2025). @SitkoSebastian doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.… 👇
If we think of Polarised 🆚 Pyramidal🆚Threshold (%time in 3-zone model) as discrete things, we might lose sight that training intensity is a continuous variable, and the separations between %distribution are arbitrary🤔 This is the %time in Z1, Z2, Z3 for 348 trained athletes
TLDR: Within a single training intervention up to 18wks, distribution of training intensity by heart rate does NOT significantly influence the change in VO2max or time-trial performance in endurance trained athletes Full access link🔗👇 researchgate.net/publication/38… 18/18 (for now😉)
Wow look at the variation in lactate responses during 60min TT @ FTP (20min *0.95) in 19 competitive (12M 7F) cyclists Consistent with heavy domain <MLSS (see quoted thread). n=17 completed 60min Group mean around 4.0 mmol/L, but are you the athlete at 2 or at 7 mmol/L?! 🔗👇
Standard schematic representation of constant workload 🩸BLa response below, at, and above the maximal lactate steady state looks like this At higher intensity 🩸BLa response is *logarithmic*, not exponential! 7/ DOI: 10.1007/s00421-017-3795-6
Polarised🆚Pyramidal🆚Threshold Which training model is best?🏆 It might matter how trained you are🤔 Our new meta-analysis tries to answer which training intervention produces the greatest improvements in endurance performance in trained athletes Thread🧵 & 🔗links below👇
Regular exercise reduces the likelihood of plaque accumulation in the arteries However, many long-term exercisers appear to have coronary artery calcification, indicating atherosclerosis progression The fascinating thing is that despite the higher plaque, those people still…
It is IMPOSSIBLE to not find a statistically significant link between any 2 random variables under multi-testing. I generated 9 pairs of totally random variables, picked the highest R^2, and it beats what you see in papers. #FooledbyRandomness
What is the most important training variable for maximizing mitochondrial adaptations – Intensity or volume of exercise? This topic has been heavily discussed in the cross-talk in @JPhysiol coined #TheMitochondrialContentContest. We analysed this in our meta of 425 studies 🧵

Peak forces on the calf, quads, glutes and hamstrings are high during running which is why it’s important to assess and strengthen these muscles after injury. We cover how to do this and lots more in our free Achilles video series. Access it now at clinicaledge.co/freeachilles
Origins & methodological iterations of physiological "threshold" constructs like MLSS, FTP, or CP get lost in translation over time. This is a nice historical narrative of the development of MLSS that students of exercise physiology should appreciate: rdcu.be/dOclG
