Thread 🧵👇🏽

I find the article rather comprehensive to be honest. Perhaps there was no consensus about Z2, I don't know. What would you have done or written differently, Mark?

New in MSSE: Adding blood flow restriction (BFR) during rest intervals of HIIT significantly boosts endurance performance — bigger gains in max power, time to exhaustion & faster 20 km trial times — without extra sprint or strength benefits.

Great work!

Bar chart showing percent change in absolute VO₂max (open bars) and absolute stroke volume (filled bars) from pre- to post-training across four exercise programs: LSD (long slow distance), LT (lactate threshold), 15/15 intervals, and 4×4 minute intervals. VO₂max and stroke volume changes are plotted on the y-axis from −5% to +15%. In LSD and LT groups, both VO₂max and stroke volume changes are minimal and near zero, with slight negative values in LSD. In the 15/15 group, VO₂max increases by about 5% and stroke volume increases by about 8%, with stroke volume showing statistical significance (*). In the 4×4 min interval group, VO₂max increases by approximately 7% and stroke volume by approximately 10%, both statistically significant (** to ***). Error bars show standard error. Statistical significance markers above bars indicate within-group significant changes: 15/15 shows *, and 4×4 shows ** and ***. Legend identifies open bars as VO₂max and filled bars as stroke volume.

For those skeptical short sprints could be so effective, many studies. See: ~12-16 min of intensity > 45 min of long slow distance: “High-intensity aerobic interval training resulted in significantly increased VO2max compared with long slow distance… (P < 0.01).” journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/fu...

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
